Movie review: Space Jam: A New Legacy

Space Jam, the 1996 Michael Jordan-Looney Tunes live action-animation sports comedy family film, was never my jam.
And 25 years later, the sequel - which is currently showing in theatres here - is still an air ball, albeit one that tries really hard to make the jump shots.
How the messy, manic concept ended up earning a jaw-dropping US$250 million (S$340 million) at the global box office back in the mid-90s is beyond me, so A New Legacy may just repeat the feat.
