Easygoing and unpretentious Sunday afternoon fun for the whole family. Michael Jordan plays Michael Jordan really well and you can tell that the role was tailor made for him. :-)

Watching Space Jam, one realizes (who may have hesitated until then) what a great visionary and visual mastermind Robert Zemeckis is, whose Roger Rabbit, eight years younger than this film, still looks flawless (!). Space Jam also entertains, but not nearly as much as in my childhood, when I almost loved it... The outdated and null story and Michael Jordan's (non)acting are no longer simply unnoticeable. Actually, all things considered, the cartoon actors in this goofy flick are matched only by Bill Murray. But even he has work to do. Thanks for the short runtime and for keeping it moving.
