“In Bay City, when you cross the line your nuts are mine.”
Classic mid-2000s comedy. Star studded cast (I miss the hella random but always hysterical Ferrell & Bateman cameos in comedies from that period). A little formulaic, especially at the end when it felt to be losing its charm a bit. But overall, a really fun time with so many laughs. Also, really dug the random nod to Easy Rider in this, wouldn’t have expected that. I didn’t know going into this that it was a remake but I dug ending with the nod to the original too.
Ok first of all I'd like to apologise for my prior 1.5 star rating of this movie. Probably wasn't stoned enough back then. I just wasn't able to see the genius behind this movie and I have to admit, I really love to see Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson together. Really gotta give those Zoolander movies a second chance someday. Also: SNOOP DOOOOGG!
“I found your nine-iron, bitch.”
2000’s comedies that have any combination of Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller always do it for me.
owen wilson is genuinely one of the best actors I've ever seen, that is not sarcasm and idk if it's just because his roles are always tailored to him, but I mean it, this man is an incredible actor and the academy can suck it
I’ve seen this movie probably four times over the course of sixteen years and every time I think to myself, “oh yeah, I forgot Jason Bateman was in this.”
It’s just funny. It’s stupid but it’s funny and that’s all I really wanted from this movie. The “DO IT” scene is so funny omg.
As a man who actually remembers the original television series starring David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser, it pains me to say that Todd Phillips got most of the feel of this film right. Turning it into an action comedy took a little of the shine off it for me, but when the laughs come they're pretty good despite the presence of Owen Wilson and the terminally unfunny Vince Vaughn.
Keeping the seventies setting was a good idea. It gave both Stiller and Wilson the chance to rock those seventies outfits and also let Snoop Dogg wear his own clothes as pimp-daddy Huggy Bear. Giving us an origin story of Starsky and Hutch getting together also set the scene for…
kinda fruity of them to show starsky and hutch wearing shirts that said 'starsky & hutch' in rainbow lettering when they broke up
Though there is a plot in there somewhere, Todd Phillips' "Starsky & Hutch" is little more than than Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Snoop Dogg, and Jason Bateman vamping in attire de la '70s under the guise of adapting a TV show from that era to the big screen; and it is nearly sublime. Bringing the cop show to the cineplex, Phillips imbues the comedy with an easy, sunkissed energy and era-rich designs while his cast, including Amy Smart, Juliette Lewis, and Fred Williamson, rolls mirthfully and good-naturedly through the story. Stiller and Wilson drive it all with chemistry and charm, and the entire affair sticks its appealing, semi-self aware landing.
