Product Description
David versus Goliath, Ali versus Frazier, Britney versus Justin: all pale in comparison to the earth-rending, bone-crushing, carrot-chomping, anvil-dropping, tail-feather-scorching, gleefully epic smack down that is Rabbit verses Duck--or, more specifically, Bugs Bunny verses Daffy. Set in a live-action world, Looney Tunes: Back in Action sees Warner Bros' animated superstars interact with human characters for maximum comic effect. The story unfolds on the studio backlot and careens all over the map in time-honoured Looney Tunes style. Our celluloid heroes embark on a hilarious adventure that takes them from Hollywood to Las Vegas, Paris and the jungles of Africa in search of Fraser's character's missing father and the mythical Blue Monkey Diamond.

Daffy Duck has had it with constantly playing second fiddle and fall guy to Bugs Bunny. He demands to be featured in the next Loony Tunes movie, but new President of Warner Brothers Comedy, Kate (Jenna Elfman), fires him instead. Daffy attaches himself to security officer/stunt man DJ Drake (Brendan Fraser). They arrive back at Drake's house, which he shares with his father Damien, only to find that the elder Drake (Timothy Dalton) has been kidnapped. Seems he was searching for the Blue Diamond, trying to keep it out of the hands of the evil ACME Corporation and their chairman (Steve Martin).
Meanwhile, the executives aren't happy about Kate firing Daffy. She has the weekend to track down the duck. So she teams up with Bugs Bunny and sets out to bring him back. Can they do it? Will DJ save his father? And just how many cameos can they fit in this movie?
This movie is absolutely hilarious. I'm not a Loony Tunes fanatic but have enjoyed them when I have seen them. Still, I found myself laughing the entire way through. While I caught many of the references, I'm sure there are lots more that die hard fans would love. Every Loony Tunes characters shows up at some point, adding to the fun. The human actors do a great job of reacting to their cartoon counterparts, and the animation, while two dimensional, fits incredibly well in the real world.
This movie is perfect for the young and young at heart who love to laugh at stuff that's completely off the wall. It entertains the entire way through, keeping the laughs flowing.

Okay, maybe only someone in marketing or sales would really, truly, relate to the idea of changing the entire population of the world into monkeys, have them manufacture shoddy merchandise, and then turn them back into humans to buy the same products under the wondrous and versatile Acme brand.
Guilty as charged, there were several other things I liked about this movie, puerile, dumb and absolutely ridiculous as it was.
One was seeing all those favorite cartoon characters back in action, blending so seamlessly with the real actors and movie sets. Not only Bugs and Daffy, but Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Granny and Tweety, Taz, and even Pepe Le Pew, among others.
Two was digging out all the little gems like Scooby Doo's Matthew Lillard hanging out with his alter ego Shaggy, Brendan Fraser being a rejected stunt double for the guy in the Mummy movies, Bugs Bunny finding Nemo, the Louvre painting-hopping sequence, all the star cameos, and of course the secret agent car and gadgets.
Three was seeing Brendan Fraser, Steve Martin and Joan Cusack fighting it out for the hammiest actor award, with the full support of Jenna Elfman and Timothy Dalton. You also have to love the Acme management team, with Vice Presidents for Bad Ideas, Stating the Obvious, Nitpicking, Unfairly Promoted, Rhetorical Questions, Never Learning, Child Labor and Climbing to the Top.
Serious it may not be; over the top - definitely; corny - oh yes; but the funny parts were much greater than the whole. Let's hear it for the Dancing Yosemite Sams.

I loved "Space Jam" a lot and I wanted to see "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" but I missed my chance so my dad got me "Back in Action" on DVD and me and my family LOVED IT! (Apart from my brother who was playing a PlayStation 2 game at the time!)The gags where extremely funny, the special effects and the animations were great and the film did "Looney Tunes" full justice and so much more with a great style. The acting was quite good, too. Brendan Fraiser was fantastic, Jenna Elfman was good and Steve Martin was, strangly enough, great as well! (But it can't beat his performance as the mad dentist in "Little Shop of Horrors" though!) This movie is so good I don't understand why it had so many bad reviews I mean, what was WRONG with it, eh? Never mind, no matter what the answer, "Looney Tunes", thanks to "Space Jam" and
"Back in Action", are getting better and better and this film definetly sends out the message..."Looney Tunes" are definetly back in action!

It's just about OK
Bought this along with Space Jam. Whilst SJ is worthy of a full 5 stars, sadly this isn't.
The plot is really obtuse and twisty, with spies, baddies, double crosses,... Read more

The greatest animation/live-action comedy ever!
Mysteries never cease. This smart and hysterically funny film tanks spectacularly and the disappointing Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a blockbuster and Scooby Doo gets a sequel. Read more

Pretty stupid plot, but worthwhile
After "Space Jam", it seems that Warner Bros. made another feature film starring the classic WB cartoon characters. Read more

It could have been better
This film is good, I'm not denying that, but the Looney Tunes have, over the years, set a very high standard for their cartoons and after Space Jam, this is a disappointing outing... Read more
