After doing a Disney movie, I went back to a Warner Bros. money with the classic Looney Tunes. Now when people think of a movie that incorporates the classic Looney Tunes characters into a live-action setting, many people think of Space Jam. Unfortunately, fewer people think about the next film made with the characters, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, which is a shame because it is the superior movie. First of all, this movie does much better at representing the Looney Tunes's slapstick and personalities better than Space Jam where all the Looney Tunes are portrayed as best buddies working together to stop a generic alien threat. In comparison, in this film, all of the Looney Tunes characters play a role appropriate to their roles in the cartoons with the antagonist characters being antagonists and Bugs and Daffy saving the day this time. I have to say that Bugs and Daffy really stole the show in this film. Especially Daffy who kind of grows as a character and is endearing through his dismay of being second banana to Bugs all the time (Don't worry, Daffy, you were always my favorite). I have to give Joe Alaskey (may he rest in peace) for effortless portraying both Bugs and Daffy phenomenally. The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for the human characters. Jenna Elfman was alright if unmemorable and Steve Martin I was surprised to find pretty funny despite my memories of finding him hammy and annoying. He is a bit of that but brought out some funny moments. But Brendan Frasier... wow, he was just awful in both his performance and comedy. I'm not why but he felt off for this movie. He did alright in interacting with the Looney Tunes and even did a good performance as the Tasmanian Devil but otherwise, his performance felt off. But still, I have to give praise to the way the film incorporated live action and the cartoon characters together. It's no Roger Rabbit but still pretty impressive. In spite of its rather nonsensical plot, the film is full of comedic highlights including the Louvre scene, the Area 52 scene with some iconic B-movie monsters, and even some jokes like cartoon Shaggy complaining about Matthew Lillard's performance (hilarious in hindsight, since the man is now the current voice of Shaggy). This isn't a perfect film but it is a really underrated film. It's a shame that this film ended up ruining the popularity of the Looney Tunes and didn't bring out a successful Looney Tunes revival because this is a funny and faithful Looney Tunes product.8 years, 3 months ago
