7/10
A hilarious 90 minutes for your buck

Warning: Spoilers
*minor spoilers included* I had originally gone to see this movie because of the "Harry Potter 3" trailer. Strangely enough, I came to the theater too late to see it, but the movie itself made up for missing the trailer. "Back in Action" was one of the funniest movies I've seen this year. However, the rating might be PG and it may be intended for kids, but younger viewers may not get all of the jokes. For instance, I nearly fell out of my seat during one scene where Bugs reenacts the 'shower scene' from "Psycho", but someone who hadn't seen "Psycho" wouldn't have thought of it as hilarious. Not to mention some of the content in the movie may not be suitable for the younger kids. I saw at least a dozen under-12-year-old's at the movie and they didn't laugh as much as their parents or their older siblings did. Not only is the movie a great comedy, but the animation and cinematography are very well done. The picture quality is amazing and the live action/animated scenes look very convincing. The only major peeve I had about this movie was the acting. I'm not saying anything bad about Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman, but judging by this movie, I don't think they have had much experience in a live action/animation movie. Their acting seems too fake in some of the scenes with Bugs and co. Be sure to catch some appearances by Jeff Gordon and Timothy Dalton, to name a few. To wrap it all up (I'm sure some of you may be asleep from reading this by now) "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" is a hilarious and fun movie that leaves you feeling like you didn't just waste $7 to see it ($30 if you bought popcorn, soda, and some nachos) My rating: 7/10
