Looney Tunes: Back in Action movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: It is so reverent to the animated characters that it barely bothers with the real-life ones. Read more
Christine Dolen, Miami Herald: The antic action doesn't add up to more than a mildly enjoyable movie. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... a cheerful and self-referential romp blending animation with live action in a non-stop quest for silly laughs. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: From the title on down, Looney Tunes: Back in Action feels less like a movie than an exercise in brand reinforcement. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: If the movie ... has loads of nerve, its ambitious fusion of cartoons and live-action comedy is only fitfully amusing. Read more
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. Read more
Melinda Ennis, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Although the plot is convoluted with moments that are too over-the-top, and not all the cameos score, you'll be glad the Looney Tunes gang is back with their acerbic wit and impeccable comic timing intact. Read more
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!' Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: Pitched wider and lower than Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Looney Tunes doesn't have much on its addled mind other than pure entertainment, and on this level it succeeds quite nicely. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Robert Zemeckis isn't a Hal Walker, but Joe Dante's right up there with Tashlin, Avery, and Jones. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Reviving Looney Tunes in feature length will no doubt make decent money. But the joy isn't there. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: Feels like an infomercial: The Wacky Warner Bros. Studio-Tour Ride and Quarterly Report, if you will. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: The leads, Ms. Elfman and Mr. Fraser, as well as most of the other actors, portray cliches with characterizations flatter than Wile E. Coyote after the anvil falls on him. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: An avalanche of zany slapstick mayhem and virtuoso technical filmmaking. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Director Joe Dante gets in touch with his inner 10-year-old and hectors ours into submission with this irrepressibly silly and borderline aimless match-up of Warner Bros.' venerated stable of cartoon stars. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The kids may laugh at some of the more obviously pandering jokes -- including a flatulent Tasmanian Devil -- any adult accompanying them is likely to leave with a headache. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: A funny thing happened on the way to this combination live-action/animated feature: they didn't make it funny. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: You leave the theater smiling, but also with a question: That's all, folks? Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The film's appeal is universal, much as the appeal of the Looney Tunes characters is universal. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It's goofy fun. Or maybe we should make that daffy fun. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: Pleasant but unoriginal. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: A nutty, zany, wacky, unruly, spastically hilarious hodgepodge that hits at least twice as often as it misses. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The pacing is frenetic, and the jokes are silly -- and often repeated multiple times, which makes them even funnier for pint-sized viewers. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: To use the lingo of Elfman's character, this oddball movie could have skewed appeal. Read more
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice: Dante's masterstroke is to make the movie as visually and narratively unhinged as its source material. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: Redford/Newman, Matthau/Lemmon, Laurel/Hardy, Duck/Bunny -- we are talking fabulous screen pairings, the exquisite, instinctive pas de deux of ego as reflected in sublime comic timing, physical awareness and interspecies mind-meld. Read more
