Space Jam 4K Blu-ray Movie Review
Space Jam arrives on 4K UHD in a stunning collectible steelbook edition.
Reviewed by Neil Lumbard August 20, 2021
Space Jam is an entertaining family-film combining basketball with Looney Tunes (and there is much to appreciate about
that unique combination). The storyline focuses on an epic basketball game involving Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes pals as the
characters reach out to retired basketball super-star Michael Jordan to help win the game. Can Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny team up and become
the heroes of the basketball court?
Featuring a screenplay by Leo Benvenuti (Space Jam: A New Legacy), Steve Rudnick (The Santa Clause), Timothy Harris
(Trading Places), and Herschel Weingrod (Twins), Space Jam is full of entertaining family-fun. Directed by Joe Pytka (Let
It Ride), fans of Looney Tunes won't want to overlook this mash-up. There's even a score composed by the brilliant James Newton
Howard (King Kong, The Sixth Sense).
Time to jam!
