Watching Old Footage of Jordan With the Bulls Would Be More Fulfilling.

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2002)

NBA superstar Michael Jordan made the leap from the hardcourts to the big screen in this small film that is little more than a ploy to capitalize on the popular Nike commercials starring Jordan and Bugs Bunny. The Looney Tunes are about to become slaves to some evil little animated monsters unless they can defeat the creatures in a winner-take-all basketball game. Naturally the monsters change by stealing the talents of various other NBA stars (Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Tyrone Bogues, Larry Johnson and Shawn Bradley) and it is up to Bugs, Daffy and company to enlist the help of the greatest player ever---Jordan. Larry Bird and Bill Murray are super in limited action, but overall the movie is just one of those films used to make money and little else. Jordan does prove to be a likeable screen presence as he just plays himself. Not a bad film, but nothing really impressive either. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
