In a land where cartoon characters and flesh-and-blood people work side by side, one little black duck lands in a big pot of trouble in this comedy, which brings the beloved Looney Tunes characters into the real world. Daffy Duck (voice of Joe Alaskey) has grown tired of his status as Warner Bros.' leading avian second fiddle and demands that if he can't be given equal billing with his rival Bugs Bunny (also voiced by Alaskey), he wants to be released from his contract. Kate Houghton (Jenna Elfman), Warners' vice president in charge of comedy, is way ahead of Daffy and orders studio stuntman D.J. Drake (Brendan Fraser) to kick the duck off the studio lot. D.J. soon discovers getting rid of Daffy is no easy task, and the duck is in tow when Drake makes a startling discovery -- his father Damien Drake (Timothy Dalton), a movie star best know for playing ultra-suave secret agents, really is a secret agent, and he's been kidnapped by Mr. Chairman (Steve Martin), the evil leader of the monolithic Acme Corporation. Damien knows the secret hiding place of the priceless Blue Monkey Diamond and Mr. Chairman will stop at nothing to get it, so D.J. and Daffy set out to rescue Damien and save the diamond, one step behind Acme's musclemen and one step ahead of Kate and Bugs, who now realize how important Daffy is to the Looney Tunes franchise. Looney Tunes: Back in Action also stars Heather Locklear as a lounge singer working for Yosemite Sam (voice of Steve Babiar), Joan Cusack, John Cleese, Stan Freberg, and Roger Corman. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

In the cold open, the Griffins watch a sitcom called "Sherry and the Anus." Later, the family goes to visit Brown University (Brian's [voice of Seth MacFarlane] alma mater), where Meg (voice of Mila Kunis) talks to the dean about admission. The only extracurricular activity she's involved in is the Luke Perry Fan Club. "I don't have a future," she complains. She decides to try to work for the high school paper. The editor tells her that he'll hire her if she can get an interview with Quahog's mayor, Adam West (voice of Adam West). Meg tenaciously scores the interview, where she learns that the batty mayor believes someone is "stealing" his water, and is using taxpayer money to investigate. She writes up an exposé and leaves it on the editor's desk, but Peter (MacFarlane) believing that political scandals are old hat, decides to write something flashier, and sneaks into the school to replace Meg's story with his. Meg returns to school to hear the accolades of her peers, which pleases her, until she sees the paper's headline -- "Luke Perry is Gay." When Perry himself sees the article ("I'm just going through every high school newspaper in the country to see if there's anything about me," he tells his wife), he decides to sue. Peter feels responsible, and decides that the solution is to seduce Perry and get photos of them together. He succeeds in getting a photo of Luke Perry vomiting. Stewie (MacFarlane), meanwhile, gets thrown out of Brown's chem. lab. Fed up with being small, he invents a mind control device, so that he can harness Chris' (voice of Seth Green) size, and immediately sets about trying to get Chris to murder Lois (voice of Alex Borstein). ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
