Another Great Wilson/Stiller/Vaughn/Ferrell Film

I don't know what changed but after seeing it a few times on the Movie Channel, Starsky and Hutch started to grow on me.

This movie is hilarious... it just took me a couple of views to realize it.

Wilson, Stiller, Vaughn, and Ferrell are perfect, and the laughs keep coming throughout the entire film. Snoop Dogg is a great addition to this film as a high-level snitch.

Final Verdict:

4/5

Rent or Buy?: After a few views opened my eyes I rushed out and picked up a copy of this great comedy. This movie belongs in any comedy fans DVD collection.

You've got three funny characters in this movie... Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. How can you go wrong! Add Snoop Dogg and you've got yourself a funny movie! It's based on the 70's TV Series Starsky & Hutch. Good item for the Starsky & Hutch Fan.

  Excellent DVD
Review created: 02/04/08

I bought this DVD after seeing part of it on regular TV. It was pretty funny so I had to see all of it. My favorite part was seeing the real Starsky and Hutch at the end. My six year old son really liked it too.

In fact, my twin sister lives in another state. She was a big fan when were little so as soon as I got it in the mail, she was telling me to hurry up and watch it so I could send it to her. After we watched it, my son said "She's going to send this back right?". I told him I would get him another one. I think he really liked it!

  Nothing Like the TV Series…
Review created: 08/10/07

After watching it for the first time, I did not like it very much. Being a HUGE fan of the TV show, I really did not like what was done with the characters.

The characteristics of Starsky, Hutch & Huggy are totally off base. If you’ve never seen the TV show, watching this movie will not motivate you to do so; which is a shame, because the TV show is SO much better.

The movie was suppose to be about how Starsky & Hutch first met, albeit their friendship starts out on shaky ground. That’s all well and good, but after you meet the person that ends up being your best friend, your personalities won’t totally change from the Ben Stiller / Owen Wilson version to the Paul Michael Glaser / David Soul version. As an example, the Batman prequel, “Batman Begins” has a much better transition to the Michael Keaton era films.

Starsky wasn’t afraid of his car, nor was he wishy-washy and unsure of himself. He handled the car with ease and was confident and aggressive when necessary.

Hutch wasn’t the bad cop-on-the-take, screw-up. He was the health conscious, level-headed, keep-things-calm side of the duo.

Huggy had more style and finesse than what is portrayed by the flashy, pimped-out version in the movie.

Thankfully, the car is as cool as ever and a joy to watch.

Once I was able to set aside my loyalty and comparison to the TV show and watch the movie solely on its merits alone, it wasn’t that horribly bad. There are many funny scenes that are enjoyable, and the car stunts are great.

During the credits at the end of the movie, there is one blooper scene with Snoop Dogg and the iguana that is pretty funny, and if you love the car, there is the blooper during the scene when Hutch sees the car for the first time that will make you just cringe…

All-in-all, the actors did a good job with a good story line, and the scene with the cameo appearances of Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul is enjoyable.

As I watched the movie for the second and third time, it began to grow on me. I really enjoyed the Director’s Cut feature where Todd Phillips takes you through the entire film and explains a lot about the scenes, what was done to them, from adding the computer generated subway at the beginning of the film to telling some behind-the-scenes stories. The story about Snoop Dogg’s 1976 Lincoln is pretty interesting.

I understand the concept and the point of the movie, but my initial dislike was hard to suppress.

I would love to see a new Starsky & Hutch movie with Paul and David back in action!!

i'm so sick of seeing that blonde guy's smug, ugly face. how did he ever make it? i vaguely recall this movie as mildly amusing but it's really just another 'american pie' type comedy. a dime a dozen.

  Starsky and Hutch Takes us Back to the Dreaded Seventies
Review created: 08/08/04
by: Bryan_Carey-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies

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 marked by stagnation and most people were happy when it ended and grateful that its mark on society has been mostly erased. But one area of the 1970 s that was marked with memorable moments was television. And one of those 1970 s hit shows has now been brought to the big screen. It s Starsky and Hutch, a movie that brings together the popular...

  Starsky and Hutch - Match Made In Heaven
Review created: 04/15/04
by: Rock_On -- a member of Epinions

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 old enough to have seen the old Starsky and Hutch series in the 70 s, but being a fan of Owen Wilson and a fan of cop comedies, I couldn t wait to see it. There had been a little drought in new movies coming out, at least in my eyes, but Starsky and Hutch was a nice little refresher to keep theaters alive. The movie Starsky and Hutch starts out with a..

  Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are Starsky and Hutch
Review created: 03/09/04
by: dragonfire88-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies

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 Starsky

  Starsky and Hutch - well I can't think of a good title right now, okay!?!??!?!
Review created: 03/31/04
by: captaind-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies

Pros:
Funny, very funny in parts, retro feel, good performances

Cons:
Much more could have been made of some characters (<i>including all_of_the_women</i>), 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 entertaining and enjoyable film, though I felt it could have been even better. Starring Ben Stiller as the totally straight-laced cop (except when he s driving) David Starsky, while Owen Wilson is the rather more criminally-minded cop (as in he doesn t mind augmenting his pay checks with the occasional illegal profit) Ken Hutchinson (or Hutch , as Hutchinson just isn t..

  Starsky & Hutch: Stiller Bombs, Snoop Booms
Review created: 03/07/04
by: tbthorn -- a member of Epinions

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 met it's end. An unlikely duo fights crime with a little help from their friends. Analysis: I can't help but begin to wonder whether or not perms and paisley will begin making a reintroduction into 21st century fashion. Throwbacks to the 1970's have become pervasive, from Blow and Austin Powers 3 to That 70's Show. Now Starsky
