Leave your thoughts about Space Jam.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfI'm certainly not a fan of Space Jam, but it's hard to deny its rich tapestry of questionable ideas. |
| Salon.comMilo MilesThe climactic game in Space Jam goes slack repeatedly. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSpace Jam is a happy marriage of good ideas--three films for the price of one, giving us a comic treatment of the career adventures of Michael Jordan, crossed with a Looney Tunes cartoon and some showbiz warfare. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelSpace Jam is, at times, a hoot, especially when it has fun with Michael's less-than-stellar baseball career. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeOverall, Space Jam is a seamless marvel as Jordan slams and jams in the Looney Tune world. |
| Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)Judith EgertonSpace 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. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesI think the show is good fun, and I believe your family will too. |
| Houston ChronicleBruce WestbrookIn basketball terms, Space Jam is more akin to the 'garbage time' that concludes lopsided games, when reckless playing is no substitute for the real thing. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallAlthough "Jam" is clearly a marketing tool with not much to say beyond "be the best that you can be," it strives to preserve the humor that made Looney Tunes so popular among adults. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIs it cute? Yes. Is it a crowd-pleaser? Yup. Is it classic? Nope. (Though it could have been.) |
