Like a pop culture-gorged Hope-and-Crosby buddy flick hopped up on mescaline.

Perfect fare for a 5-year-old on an Apple Jacks sugar high, but scarcely tolerable for anyone moving toward the Raisin Bran end of the aging spectrum.

| Original Score: 1.5/4

Merece elogios por seu humor auto-referencial e, principalmente, por resgatar a insanidade das animações originais (ao contrário do fraco Space Jam).

| Original Score: 3/5

...neither offensive nor inspiring. It's undoubtedly fun for kids, but except for its occasional in-jokes there isn't all that much to excite the funny bone of an adult.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

Bursts with energy but not inspiration.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Joe Dante & Warner Brothers destroy more of our childhood memories.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

For anyone reared on the stuff, Looney Tunes: Back in Action is sweet anarchy.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

It's the cleverest mix of animation and live action since Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

..far too much importance is placed on the live action characters, who in contrast look like they should be spectators at a who's-who reunion of animated superstars.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

Falls back on movie in-jokes that are often unfunny, while the amusing spoofs are irrelevant because they're not even Warner Bros films!

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

This isn't an imaginative rebellion against the physical world like the old cartoons; it's the anarchy of animation, which isn't nearly as fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Jenna Elfman needs to be in more movies and Brendan Fraiser, who should have gotten an Oscar for at least two movies I can think of, is underused even though he's in most of the scenes.

| Original Score: 2/5

Dante revives the possibilities of widescreen humor ... literally leapfrogging across time and the cosmos to achieve profundity through expertly controlled chaos.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

Ultimately, kids will enjoy it, even if they don't get some of the inside jokes, but it somehow lacks the edge of the short cartoons.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Probably works best if you are into following the logic of cartoons.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

The satire becomes unfocused without a driving force behind it, and the adventure is the stuff of which so many movies have touched upon before.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Much of the movie magic fades during the stilted cartoon-human relations.

| Original Score: 2.5/4
