Jam This Film in Space in a Trash Can.

Rating: 2/10 (14 January 2016)

Space Jam (1996): Dir: Joe Pytka / Cast: Michael Jordan, Theresa Randle, Wayne Knight, Bill Murray, Larry Bird: Space Jam sounds like something I did while parallel parking. It opens with a young Michael Jordan impressing his father with basketball. Too bad the screenwriter couldn't impress us with a screenplay worthy of the talent involved. Meanwhile the Looney Tunes may becomes slaves to a theme park unless they can win a basketball game. The opposing team travel to Earth to suck the talent out of the N.B.A stars save for Jordan who is persuaded to help. Ridiculous storytelling without any of the intelligence of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Animated characters look dashing with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, Roadrunner, and a rather suggestive appearance by Lola Bunny. Her innuendo is perhaps a tad more suggestive than the film's intended audience deserves. The film is an excuse to cash in on the popularity of Jordan who actually holds his own opposite the cartoon and will need to think beyond human means to solve the plot. Other roles are merely cardboard with Wayne Knight, Theresa Randle and Bill Murray. Directed by Joe Pytka who highlights the star and the animated characters but hiring people to put an effort into plot would have been nice. The result is a very dull game that should be jammed in the space between a tire and the pavement. Score: 2 Â½ / 10
