Jam On

Rating: 7/10 (8 March 2020)

Nostalgia dies hard sometimes. I loved this movie when I was a kid. I wasn't even a basketball fan yet seeing Michael Jordan step into the world of Looney Toons for a goofy, cartoon game against alien Monstars? Oh that hit me just right.
Watched this for the first time in a long time a couple days ago and, despite the fact that now I'm older and more critical, I can't deny that this transported me right back to when I was a kid.
That being said, this movie is ridiculous. It makes no sense whatsoever and the second you stop to ask why or how it either falls apart or gives you a headache. The acting is not great, but at the same time, Jordan's not an actor and considering this movie has to be like 80% him just living in a green screen world, it's pretty impressive and I'll forgive him for not having all his eyelines down.
I'd be really curious to see someone watch this now who didn't watch this as a kid. Like I said, nostalgia plays heavily with me on this and I know it. Seeing someone come to this fresh would be fascinating. Regardless, I'd almost say it's worth watching for that soundtrack alone!
