Starsky & Hutch

Day 10 - 1/10/09 - Movie #10

BEFORE: Another film I taped and put on DVD about 2 years ago, and just never found the time to watch. I loved "Dodgeball" and "Night at the Museum", so I have high hopes for another film with Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.

THE PLOT: Two streetwise cops bust criminals in their red-and-white Ford Torino with the help of a snitch named Huggy Bear.

AFTER: Y'know, I rather enjoyed it, even though I never watched the original TV series. This was pretty funny, even though the TV show wasn't (intended as) a comedy. I liked all the jokes that poked fun at the 1970's, and cop shows from the 70's. Stiller + Wilson made a good pair, with good cameos by Patton Oswalt and Will Ferrell.

RATING: 8 out of 10 little white packets.

  1. Didn't S&H drive a Dodge Charger? Or was that the Duke boys?

  2. I think it was the Duke boys. General Lee was a Dodge Charger. Starsky + Hutch - 1975 Ford Gran Torino, according to the interwebs.
