Topic: Reviews: Starsky & Hutch Forum: JoBlo

IN SHORT:Ben Stiller + Owen Wilson as Starsky & Hutch= Funny!! THE GOOD: I loved the original series as a kid,hey i even remember the action figures.Actually im trying to remember which station is running the Starsky & Hutch marathon!! True this movie doesnt have the serious tone of the show its a spoof and take off on the show and Stiller as the uptight by the book Starsky and Wilson as the ladykiller,walking the fine line between criminal and cop Hutch .They make it work on screen.Kudos to director Todd Phillips for getting the style and feel of the 70's hit show on the screen right down to the low tech spyware and shows playing on the t.v.I also enjoyed Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear and his high I.Q associates.Great cameo by Will Ferrell. THE BAD:The bad guys,Vince Vaughn ,Juliette Lewis ,Jason Bateman were fun but definitley underused.The disco with that Ron Jeremy lookalike was kind of lame. i think i have seen this same sequence in three different movies in the past six months.Carmen Electra and Amy Smart were sexy(nice kiss by the way ladies) but underused also.And my major pet peeve scenes that were in the trailers but not in the film!!!! IN THE END:Scale of 1-10 a solid 8 go see it plus pick up the dvd when it hits the shelves,which will likely be loaded with extras.
