My Favorite Movie

I have a reason of it being my fav. It is because this is THE first movie I remember seeing. This movie is great. I cant stop watching it. It mixes 2 of my favorite things........... Basketball and Cartoons. I'm glad Michael Jordan knows how to act well. Watching Bugs on the Bigscreen and as well as Roadrunner and Coyote was a real kick. I liked the fact that the plot was interesting as well as a killer soundtrack. I'm very glad I saw this movie because I'm never going to forget it. The Monstars were at points hilarious and also the hilarious Halftime Scene. (not to spoil a thing) I'm glad it ended on a happy note. This mixes my favs of realism and cartoon like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" and "Looney Tunes:Back in Action." 10/10 from me maybe its because its my favorite movie.
