Anyone old enough to remember the seventies tv show would know that although the series had some humour it was not a comedy. Sure every episode there would be something funny but it was essentially a cop show.
Todd Phillips decided it would be great as a comedy and cast two well known comedy actors and threw in Snoop Dog for good measure and it worked. Vince Vaughn gives his usual comedic touch to proceedings in a well worked and often very funny film. Will Ferrell's cameo was hilarious and although the plot was nonsense the two leads captured the seventies look and feel brilliantly. The real star of the tv show was that Gran Torino and it still gave me goosebumps when it roared onto screen. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson give Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul a run for their money as the titular heroes and that car took me back to my childhood. -
I get that Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson were at the top of their game in 2004 after their successes with Meet the Parents and Zoolander amongst other film. But seriously does Hollywood have to cave in to their every need?
This is a predictable and mostly not funny comedy which just felt like it didn't need to be made.

Não me recordo de a série ser tão virada para a gargalhada fácil porém nada a apontar. Muito divertido.

Better than I thought it was going to be due to the likeable presences of Stiller, Ferrell and Wilson.

Straight out of the "It was a popular television show once so it should be a popular movie now" files comes Starsky and Hutch. By the time this movie came out adapting an old TV show into a movie is pretty much the norm but unfortunately those movies usually get a bad stink on them because.... well they stink, they just are not good movies. Starsky and Hutch though I thought made a good showing foe itself.
That said I had never seen a single episode of the television series so I didn't have that to drag me down the same way I did when I saw something like The Beverly Hillbillys for example. I was able to separate the…

Funny. Good direction

I'm just not sure about this movie.
On one hand, it was actually enjoyable and I did like it. On the other hand, as a comedy, it really wasn't very funny and a lot of the jokes just fell completely flat.
The movie is average to good at best but the humour just didn't help here.

Great music, actual funny jokes, 70s buddy cop action and Snoop Dogg. That's all I need to say.
