Starsky & Hutch Reviews |
What modest pleasure the film affords is largely thanks to the charisma of its genial stars. When all is said and done, though, how hard is it to make fun of a decade that gave us both the Ford Gran Torino and the Pacer, oversize aviator shades and that masterpiece of top-40 make-out schmaltz, "Don't Give Up on Us, Baby"? [read review]

The film's director is Todd Phillips of "Road Trip" and "Old School." I was not a big fan of either movie, but they both contained real laughs, and now in "Starsky & Hutch," he reaches critical mass. Will the movie inspire me to watch reruns of the original series? No. I want to quit while I'm ahead. [read review] 
-- (Chicago Sun-Times)
Maybe if you go in with low expectations, you'll enjoy it more than I did, but as it stands now, I would definitely recommend that you catch this movie on video one night, if only to check out some of its fun actors and Vaughn's hilarious turn as the "bad guy", but otherwise, I don't think it's worth investing your hard-earned dollars to see in theaters. Undercooked. [read review] 5/10

Even as a series, though, "Starsky & Hutch" had its fits and starts. By the fourth and final season, the once tough crime drama had devolved into self-parody, some of which is directly referenced in the film. So if the movie sometimes seems too silly forits own good, detractors can point their fingers first at the series. [read review]

Going into the film, I was of the opinion that, of all the '70s TV shows I might like to see on the big screen, Starsky and Hutch wasn't on the list. A laugh-filled hour and a half later, I was happy that the film had proven me wrong. [read review]

Starsky and Hutch is a breezy ride that no doubt will appeal to the same audience that loved Old School, but really, this is the kind of movie that's best enjoyed with lowered expectations. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
"Starsky & Hutch," the movie, has no weight or purpose. But it takes its triviality seriously enough to make it feel fresh. That's as good an excuse for its existence as any. [read review]
-- (L.A. Daily News)
It’s less inspired on a conceptual level than Zoolander, the other major Stiller-Wilson collaboration, but it isn’t saddled with Jerry Stiller making prostate jokes, either. [read review] 
--Jesse Hassenger (FilmCritic.com)
Affectionate spoof that delivers a constant stream of good gags and features a dynamic duo of delightful comic performances from Stiller and Wilson. [read review]
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Starsky & Hutch will remind you just how bad '70s cop shows could be, but its stellar comic cast will keep you laughing in spite of it. [read review]
--Kit Bowen (Hollywood.com)
"Starsky & Hutch" is a silly summer movie served up cold in March. But it will warm your funny bone if given half a chance. [read review]
--Paul Clinton (CNN Showbiz)
Even though it's got no Soul, the cool '70s cop show has been given a generally satisfying big screen comic overhaul. [read review]
--Michael Rechtshaffen (Hollywod Reporter)
I have to say that I was sort of disappointed, but was amused enough to recommend it as an entertaining night out. [read review] B
--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
The puffy hairstyles, bad nylon shirts and leather-thong necklaces are there, but the big laughs, alas, are not. [read review]
-- (Salon)
Good for a few laughs catering to the common denominator but lacking anything worthy of the talent assembled. [read review]
--Derek May (MovieWeb)
A worthy homage to the TV series, this is easily the most fun movie of 2004 so far. [read review] 7/10
--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
Will likely please and hand over what is craved [read review] B
--Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
Amusing but far from arresting [read review]
