Starsky & Hutch

Pros: Funny and entertaining
Cons: Silly at times

There are several movies out now or that will be out soon that I want to see. Thankfully work is starting to slow back down for me, so I’m getting a chance to go to more movies again. I had a chance to go to a movie today and I ended up seeing ...

Pros: Funny, very funny in parts, retro feel, good performances
Cons: Much more could have been made of some characters (including all_of_the_women), sloppy pacing

Let me make it known from the start, I don’t remember ever having seen even a single episode of the original TV series of Starsky and Hutch, so you won’t find any comparisons to it here. What I can tell you is that it’s a very ...

Pros: Snoop Dogg's performance; Nostalgia factor
Cons: Nothing unique about the movie; Have to look at 1970's fashion and culture

The 1970’s were known for many bad things. The fashion was awful. The music was forgettable. The Vietnam War was fought for half of the decade. Nixon served as president for nearly four and one- half of the decades ten years. It was a span of history ...

Pros: funny, Stiller has a good movie for once
Cons: could be better, but then again, most movies "could be better"

Ben Stiller has been very disappointing as of late. His role in Meet the Parents was the last time that he’s been in an enjoyable film, and so when the first preview for Starsky and Hutch was shown, needless to say, I was excited. I’m not quite ...

Pros: Snoop, Humor, Short-Shorts
Cons: Stiller

Genre: Comedy Sub-categories:Cop Comedy, TV Laugh Factor: Some Snorting Look-at-these: No Nudity Synopsis: The legendary Starsky and Hutch are resurrected and brought to the silver screen 25 years after the show ...

Pros: A light hearted comedy.
Cons: Questionable topics of sex, drugs and I suppose a bit of rock and roll...

I was never a fan of Starsky and Hutch while growing up. I'd heard of them, but doubt if I watched a single episode. Hubby and I have been working renovating and redecorating our bed and breakfast, which hasn't left a lot of time for Epinions. Time for ...

Pros: Stiller and Wilson are a good match, Snoop, funny spoof
Cons: slow at start, female roles wasted

They’re lean, mean, 70s crime fighting machines and will stop at nothing to uphold the law, with some gags and silly jokes along the way. Stiller and Wilson team up again coming from their successful pairing in Zoolander and Meet the ...

Pros: Funny, actual story line, cameos
Cons: May be too out-there funny for some

I'm not the type to always be drawn to goofy movies, and I originally had no plans to see Starsky and Hutch. However, I finally broke down and saw it last night and I seriously enjoyed it way too much. I don't understand man, I don't ...

Pros: It's funny.
Cons: Sometimes, it's not.

Starsky & Hutch. They're good guys, I guess you could say. David Starsky, played by Ben Stiller in his most typical mode, is a wound-up cop who goes over-the-top when he's trying to stop crime, but at least tries to do his job. His efforts have ...

Pros: Perfect casting, laid back feel over all.
Cons: Really funny, but I was expecting pee your pants hilarious

Movies based on TV shows are definitely a mixed bag. (Though that certainly hasn’t slowed the trend down any) For every great remake like “The Fugitive”, there seems to lurk a real stinker such as “Beverly Hillbillies” or “Leave ...

Pros: Succeeds where Zoolander and Meet The Parents failed… it’s funny!
Cons: Undeserved hype due to TV show

I don’t know what the attraction was for me to this movie. I’m not generally a fan of action/cop type films, and I’d never even heard of the TV show, which was apparently on during the 70s. Thanks to the hype surrounding this film, I knew ...

Pros: Cast, script, period feel
Cons: Maybe a little too funny for the material on which it was based

I have to admit that I liked Zoolander. I'm going to get that off my chest right now so that you have some time to deal with it. It was a stupid movie, and it made me cringe at points, but in the final analysis I really enjoyed it. That was the worst ...

Pros: story is always interesting, funny and not very predictable
Cons: sex and drug content might be a tad much for a PG-13

As much as we like to rip on the 1970's for all its problems, there's still a lot of love for the pop culture of the time. When I heard of the big screen production of "Starsky & Hutch" I was worried it would be an updated version like "Charlie's ...

Pros: Extremely funny, retro scenes, Zoolander pair (Stiller and Wilson)
Cons: Plot is nothing new, a little fluffy but still good (like cotton candy)

Well... not quite. I was fortunate enough to miss out on the swinging seventies, being little more than a twinkle in my father's eye at the time. So what you will get from me is a perfectly objective review based solely on this movie's merit and not ...

Pros: Great acting performances by all!
Cons: None

Having grown up a few years after the peak of the original television series of “Starsky and Hutch”, I really had no idea what to expect from the newly released DVD of the modern movie version of “Starsky and Hutch.” Although, I really didn’t know much ...
