“Space Jam: A New Legacy” (*** out of four) was a delightful sequel to the 1996 smash about a rogue artificial intelligence agent (Don Cheadle) who kidnaps the son (Cedric Joe) of legendary basketball player Lebron James (playing himself) who has to travel into the outer regions of space to team with Bugs Bunny and win an intergalactic basketball game! Story doesn’t always make sense but is so packed with enthusiastic energy, psychedelic and stunning visuals, and upbeat performances that it’s fun from start to finish and easily tops it’s double-dribbled and fumbled predecessor. James is charismatic and likeable in the lead and many others show up in uncredited supporting roles which make it even more entertaining.
