Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Crappy film
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
I really liked this movie when I was a kid and because I'm hungover I wanted to watch something comfortable and I though hey, I haven't seen Looney Tunes: Back in Action in ages. Yeah, of course it's a children's movie and it's very silly, but for me this is kind of that adventure comedy I compare all others to, at least subconsciously, since it's about the first one I saw.Even as a grown-up I still find this movie funny. Yeah of course there are some corny childish jokes in there, but most of the comedy is still funny. The Looney Tunes character bring most into this movie. Sure, Brendan Fraser's character is alright and Timothy Dalton is good and all that, but still none of those characters beat Daffy Duck or Bugs Bunny and all those other characters we've learnt to love watching the Looney Tunes shorts. The story itself is pretty simple but it has so many hilarious details and the characters and the fun mix between live action and animation are the things that make this movie fun. It's not the best adventure movie out there, but it's hilarious, and what kid wouldn't love it?
. . . that it's not allowed to have its own home page on this site. FRANK TASHLIN'S STORYBOOKS: TONY AND CLARENCE can be found as a "Special Feature" on Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4, Disc 2. TONY predicts that the athlete formerly known as Bruce Jenner soon will replace Donald Trump as the U.S. Rich People Party nominee in the 2016 Presidential Election. Some may quibble that Jenner endorsed Trump already, and that Trump clinched the election yesterday when he was awarded the highly coveted American Purple Heart Medal. Though Freberg's narration of Tashlin's 1951 story symbolizes such metal disks as "pennies," Jenner's World Decathlon GOLD Men's Medal trumps Trump's Purple Thingee. Plus, Jenner has closer ties to the U.S. military, having been born the son of a veteran. Since Jenner meets the age and citizenship requirements for the American Presidency, and has a bigger footprint on U.S. "Reality" TV shows than Trump's Birth Certificate Baby Print-sized presence, Jenner is THE logical replacement candidate when Trump self-implodes once and for all. The controversial aspect of TONY AND CLARENCE is that CLARENCE is male--until she comes out as the female "Clarice," who cannot even use the Women's Room in North Carolina!
I remember watching this when it first came out on DVD. Even though I was a child then, I just wasn't a fan. The reason was because - it wasn't as good as Space Jam. I know we have Steve Martin, Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman on this and the fact that they are stars, but think realistically. The acting isn't really that great, yeah kids won't mind because of course, "Looney Tunes" is on the title. But what I'm saying is, it just isn't that good of a Looney Tunes movie.I am hoping that I hear news of it becoming a sequel in the future, I think this did all the damage in my opinion! If my future children want to see it, I would watch it no bother. I wouldn't be crazy over this, I would probably try to avoid looking at this again at all costs! :/
Using a similar idea to 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit', Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are real actors in this live action animated world. WB VP Kate (Jenna Elfman) has enough of Daffy Duck and fires him. She orders security guard DJ Drake (Brendan Fraser) to eject the Duck but chaos ensues. DJ gets fired also. DJ is a stuntman wannabe whose father Damien Drake (Timothy Dalton) plays an action superspy Bondlike icon. It turns out that Damien is actually a real superspy and has been captured by Chairman of ACME corp (Steve Martin). DJ and Daffy go to Vegas to rescue him. Meanwhile Bugs without Daffy isn't doing so well and Kate is about to be fired herself. She goes in search of Daffy with the help of Bugs. In Vegas, DJ contacts another superspy Dusty Tails (Heather Locklear). Then they discover the secret base Area 52 with Mother (Joan Cusack) where they find out about the secret Blue Monkey Diamond.It's a lot of chaotic sarcastic ridiculous Looney Tunes story. It's fun for about 30 minutes which is the duration of most Saturday morning cartoon runs. Then it gets way too tiresome. The nonsensical story is not worthwhile to follow. It's one sight gags after another. Brendan Fraser works well with the cartoon characters with a touch of heroism. That's his basic move anyways. He even references 'The Mummy'. Steve Martin plays the ridiculous chairman. It's so ridiculous that the character should probably be a cartoon as well. Its constant unrelenting bombastic nature never lets the audience off the ride and gets monotonous.
