Space Jam: The most underrated film of our generation

According to IMDB, here is the basic synopsis of Space Jam:

"Swackhammer, owner of the amusement park planet Moron Mountain is desperate to get new attractions and he decides that the Looney Tune characters would be perfect. He sends his diminutive underlings to get them to him, whether Bugs Bunny & Co. want to go or not. Well armed for their size, Bugs Bunny is forced to trick them into agreeing to a competition to determine their freedom. Taking advantage of their puny and stubby legged foes, the gang selects basketball for the surest chance of winning. However, the Nerdlucks turn the tables and steal the talents of leading professional basketball stars to become massive basketball bruisers known as the Monstars. In desperation, Bugs Bunny calls on the aid of Michael Jordan, to help them have a chance at winning their freedom."

Cast: A short list of the important human characters.

• Michael Jordan: People who can't even READ know who he is.
• Wayne Knight: Easily his 7th role as a bumbling, fat slob.
• Charles Barkley: One of the most politically incorrect public figures of the past two decades.
• Bill Murray: Pretty cool old guy.
• Larry Johnson: The same basketball player who cameoed as "Grandmama" on Family Matters.
• Random NBA talent: Patrick Ewing, Muggsy Bogues, Shawn Bradley.  However, bear in mind that Shawn Bradley really was never all that talented to begin with.

Looney Tunes: We all are familiar with them, so I'm not going to spend too much time explaining who they are, but suffice it to say, seeing Bugs Bunny attempting to get laid is pretty comical.

Monstars: They kidnap Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes, and perform some sort of genetic mutation to learn the game of basketball from a group of washed up, aging players in hopes of gaining revenue for an intergalactic theme park.

Soundtrack: Until last year, this was the ONLY soundtrack I ever purchased in my life, and it was also on cassette.

I will lay it out pretty simply as to why this movie is awesome:

• Michael Jordan
• Looney Tunes
• Aliens
• R. Kelly & Coolio
• Wayne Knight

When you take into account the five amazing elements listed above, there really is no reason as to why this masterpiece is currently receiving a 5.9/10.

Maybe if you weren't picked last for basketball year after year, you probably wouldn't be such a prick.
