Reviews for Space Jam
Top CriticSimpler and cruder than Who Framed Roger Rabbit in terms of story and technique, this is still a great deal of fun, confirming that Jordan is every bit as mythological a creature as Daffy Duck or Yosemite Sam.

Top CriticAttempts to inject some hipness into the classic cartoon characters, not to mention some potty-mouthed dialogue, will enrage purists, but otherwise this pretty much scores a slam dunk with its under-five target audience.

Top CriticA cynical attempt to cash in on the popularity of Warner Bros. cartoon characters and basketball player Michael Jordan, inspired by a Nike commercial.

Top CriticCute, rambunctious, generally amusing rather than outright funny, this clever mix of live action, highlighted by the unequaled skills of basketball superstar Michael Jordan, and animated Looney Tunes antics will be a must-see for kids.

Top CriticVisually, it's a mess: the attempts to blend 2- and 3-D animation with live-action and computer-generated images produce scenes that are fuzzier than the storyline.

Top CriticWhat I miss most of all is the absence of the late, great Mel Blanc.

Space Jam isn't exactly a slam dunk. It's more of a graceful tip-in by Michael Jordan, with a snazzy assist by Bugs Bunny.

Succeeds in reintroducing the Looney Tunes name, but fails to capture the imagination and sharpness that defined them originally.

Space Jam is harmless kiddie fare, but it may not be every adult's idea of a good time.

This film was made very quickly by animation standards, and the haste shows.

It's a good effort, but not up to the level of the best Disney cartoon feature.

An empty, soulless corporate product, designed for one purpose: to separate us from our wallets.

Technical spectacle amounts do nothing without a good story.
