    Headline News:
    Ssshhufering sshhuckatacks! Daffy gets canned!

    DJ Drake (Brendan Fraser) and Daffy Duck gets the boot from Warner studios VP executive Kate Houghton (Jenna Elfman, from "Dharma and Gregg") and are now on a mission to find the legendary Blue Monkey ...( read more)and save his superspy/actor father (Timothy Dalton - 007, Licence to Kill) from the hands of Mr. Chairman, (head of ACME Corporation) and his evil minions.


    As far as screwball comedies and Looney Tunes is concerned, this one didnt have the same zest as the other WB Looney films. Yes, It was still funny but... a lot of things fell so flat in this movie. I think Jenna Elfman was misplaced in this movie and some of the cartoon clips added to the scenes were edited.. a bit shoddy.

    Final Verdict: Looney Tunes went from Class A kids entertainment to the same quality of products Wile E. Coyote has been getting from ACME.

    Oh well! As Porky always says;

    Abade-abade-abade-abade!
    That's All Folks!

    For some weird, scary reason, I liked it. I mean, at least it was better than "Space Jam" (and believe me when I tell you I have seen "Space Jam" A LOT of times, as it was one of the first DVDs my parents bought back in the day) and it was kind of hilarious at some points and Bre...( read more)ndan Fraiser is charming as an action hero (yes, I said it) and I think the best thing about the movie is all the in-jokes and acid remarks on movie business, along with the classic WB characters showing their true colors for the first time (Shaggy snapping at Matthew Lillard for his performance in "Scooby Doo"? Priceless) among other nice details. But Steve Martin doing his worst Mike Myers impersonation is simply painful to watch.

    Nice for a Saturday morning but stay away from this if you appreciate your braincells.

    Fairly enjoyable stuff I must say. Kept me entertained, kids will definitely love it, it's about time the looney toons make a comeback, they were in essence my childhood.

    Cute movie a bit like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? where tunes and humans mix together. Good cast with lots of cool Looney Tune characters.

    Not Quite "Space Jam", but It has it's funny moments, and those few moments are "Hilarious", although nothing more really intrigues the audience.

    Hollywood has no mercy... ruining classic genious characters in such a way... AND WITH BRENDAN FRASER!

    36/100

    Since my childhood i had always been a big fan of Looney Toons.In the movie too they were hilarious.Bugs and Daffy work at a movie studio. Daffy quits because he's tired of Bugs getting all the favorable treatment. He hooks up with a stuntman who is also fired the same day due to...( read more) hanging around with Daffy too much, and gets involved in his adventure because his father was a secret spy on the trail of a mythical blue diamond. Daffy, of course, wants to go on the journey with him but the studio decides they want Daffy back, so Bugs and a young studio executive heroin have to go out and try to bring him back. It takes place over several continents and it's quite a big deal."

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

Like a pop culture-gorged Hope-and-Crosby buddy flick hopped up on mescaline. full review

David Edelstein, Slate

A nutty, zany, wacky, unruly, spastically hilarious hodgepodge that hits at least twice as often as it misses. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

This movie, with all its hopped-up, sugar-rush action, provides plenty of fun for a young audience. And grown-ups with fond memories of Looney Tunes cartoons might find themselves giggling as well. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

How can you hate a movie that puts Bugs Bunny in a flooded convertible and lets him say 'Hey, whaddya know -- I found Nemo!' full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's goofy fun. Or maybe we should make that daffy fun. full review
