Ratings and reviews

I've known about and seen parts of this movie before, but never just watched the whole thing till now. Looking at in now and based on what I know about Jordan today (huge gambling problems and possibly involved in the reason his dad was killed) there are parts of this movie that make me cringe. But, I think it's a fine movie on it's own and the only story problem I have is him not realizing that he is basically a cartoon in Looney Toons land after being crumbled into a ball earlier in the film.

Truly cultivates this generation as a whole. This fantastic film will leave you with enigmas contemplating what it means to be a human being, which have left me up at night countless times. This phenomenal milestone in cinema is the most perfected, fine tuned, and extraordinary movie I have seen in my 57 years of life. Please, I insist, all fans of cinema, art, and history alike view this movie just a single time, and I guarantee it will change your life.

Space Jam is the best classic film ever Michael Jordan is one of the best basketball players legendy especially on this movie. In the film Michael is enlisted by the Looney Tunes to help them win a basketball match against a group of aliens by its owner, Mr. Swackhammer and his diminutive minions, the Nerdlucks who intend to enslave them as attractions for their world. 1996 is the year I was born and I didn't even knew Space Jam back then, but I do now and more than ever to watch anytime
