Joe Pytka directs Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in this family sports movie where Michael Jordan plays basketball with the Looney Tunes to save them from intergalactic enslavement.

I was just that little bit too old to be bothered about Space Jam when it came out so this is a belated first time watch. Not as ambitious as Roger Rabbit yet SJ actually is A-OK. The human basketball stars are game and capable of lampooning themselves sweetly. We get plenty of Looney Tunes fan service. Bill Murray has a nice extended cameo. It maybe isn’t as bonkers as you might expect as a fan of the old cartoons but it keeps things moving fast and keeps everything simple. Wouldn’t be averse to a second watch.
