Movie Reviews of Looney Tunes - Back in Action (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: Like Space Jam? You'll Love Back In Action!
Summary: 5 Stars

Brandon Frazer and Jenna Elfman's great onscreen chemistry and the brilliant use of the Looney Tunes characters makes this a great film for the entire family. Besides scenes with just about every Looney Tune character (including short scenes with PepeLe Pew, Beaky Buzzard and Mad Scientist) the film is packed with human stars (Steve Martin, Heather Locklear, Joan Cusack) and has several cameo appearances including Michael Jordan, Jeff Gordon and Matthew Lillard who gets a dressing down by cartoon Shaggy because he didn't like his portrayal in the human Scooby-Doo (Widescreen Edition) movie.

Although this movie came out 5 years ago, I just saw it recently for the first time and have watched it a couple more times since and I find more in it every time I view it (there are over 20 Looney Tune characters in the movie). My 5 year old daughter loves it as does my wife. As well as being loaded with stars there are parodies of scenes from classic movies such as the Psycho (Special Edition) (Universal Legacy Series) shower scene (but its OK for kids and even shows how they used Hershey's Chocolate Syrup 2 count for special effects) and 007's A View To A Kill - 2-Disc Ultimate Edition Eiffel Tower chase (heck, ex 007 Timothy Dalton is even in the film!) as well as characters from other movies and TV shows such as Robbie the Robot and monsters you'll recognize from B sci-fi flicks. Even Kevin McCarthy star of the original 1950's Invasion of the Body Snatchers has a cameo, in Black and White, carrying a POD, lol.

This is a great family movie that with lots of action and laughs. Adults will have a trip down memory lane seeing cartoon characters they have haven't seen in years.

Summary of Looney Tunes - Back in Action (Widescreen Edition)



Features include:

?MPAA Rating: PG
?Format: DVD
?Runtime: 91 minutes

At the peak of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck lead Elmer Fudd on a wild pursuit through famous paintings hanging in the Louvre, their animated selves absorbing the painting styles of Salvador Dali, Georges Seurat, Toulouse Lautrec, and others. That sequence manages to recapture the anarchic spirit of Warner Bros.' classic cartoons; unfortunately, not much else in this labored movie does. Technically, the merging of live actors and cartoon characters is impressive, as Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman team up with Bugs and Daffy to save the world by keeping a magical diamond out of the hands of the evil Acme Corporation, headed by a nerdy, prancing Steve Martin. Just about every Warner Bros. character makes an appearance, as do Timothy Dalton, Heather Locklear, and the ever-dependable comic delight of Joan Cusack (In and Out, School of Rock). --Bret Fetzer
