TOGETHER, THEY JUST MIGHT SAVE THE WORLD.
Michael Jordan has retired from basketball, but is suddenly drawn into Looney Tunes’ world, where he helps Bugs Bunny and his friends play a game against monsters. A kid-friendly comedy built around the Dream Team legend that takes advantage of his charisma, which is helpful since the modern iteration of the Looney Tunes brings us little more than headache. Not even supporting efforts by Wayne Knight and Bill Murray are much to celebrate. Technically impressive at times; memorable song score.
