The day nobody knew about this movie:

Caught this with my nephew one afternoon. Never knew there was a Looney Tunes film that was released. The poster isn't even on Joblo.com. I decided to just look at some movies playing and voila! A Looney Tunes film. Look at Wikipedia for the synopsis for I won't be doing it here. All I will say is that my theater had at least 11 people including us. The bad marketing for this flick has pretty much put WB on some heat because they continue to shelve legacy characters. Look up Coyote vs Acme up; though there maybe some light at the end of the tunnel for that flick as you are reading this. 

As for this flick, there is a twist to the end of this film and it gets revealed why the flick is named the way it is. Your heroes as you can see is Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, whom are both voiced by Eric Bauza who does a fantastic job doing so. Petunia Pig also makes her re-debut here on the big screen though I don't recall her character much while growing up to Looney Tunes. 

All I am going to say is that this flick was ok for me. Some of the Looney Tunes slapstick makes it here while some parts of this flick is done to please a more modern audience. Especially the beginning where there are some butt jokes literally that maybe should had been truncated. Bugs Bunny sits this one out so I am spoiling it now that if you are expecting him, don't. I understand he is the flagship character of Looney Tunes, but for once, Daffy and Porky is all you have. Also, if you are expecting the Chuck Jones's version of Daffy, look elsewhere again. This is the Looney 30s/40s version of Daffy. The one that likes to go Whoo hoo, bounce around and smash things. This is the version I really grew up with so I had no qualms. 

As I write this, the film is starting to gain some momentum off the net, also allowing theaters to broadcast this flick for another week or so. If you are a big fan of Looney Tunes, you owe yourself this treat. Not much 2d animation around these days and this film delivers in this category. I think its worth a watch just to relieve any stress you've been dealing with as of lately. It doesn't hurt to see some wackiness on the big screen.
