Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Looney Tunes: Back in Action
LOONEY TUNES : BACK IN ACTION is a movie directed by Joe Dante in 2003.

Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman must find The Blue Diamond that has the magical power to turn people into monkeys. In the company of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, they will go to Las Vegas, Paris and Africa. The mean Steve Martin, head of ACME, wants the diamond for business purposes and is right behind our heroes.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar

Daffy Duck is upset over all the attention and bigger paychecks that Bugs Bunny gets. The Head of the Animation Department at Warner Brothers, Kate fires Daffy and a security guard called Bobby. Daffy follows Bobby home, where he finds out that his secret agent father has been kidnapped by the Evil Head of the ACME Corporation, Mr. Chairman. They go off to save him. Meanwhile, back at Warner, Kate realizes that Daffy is the real star. They follow Bobby and Daffy, and start a mission to find the mythical Blue Monkey diamond. This film is very funny, and Steve Martin is amazing as Mr. Chainman.
