Review – Looney Tunes Back in Action

If anyone but Joe Dante had directed this, it would probably have turned out to be an unwatchable stinker unsuitable even for the most moronic pre-teens. The plot is goofy and meandering even by cartoon standards, and the live-action actors have almost all done better work elsewhere. But there’s so much going on in the background here that the foreground becomes little more than an annoying excuse to keep the clever inside jokes coming. Fans of Warner Brothers cartoons and genre movies should get a real kick out of all the sub-references, typical Dante only even more so. Worth seeing
