Starsky & Hutch

Starsky and Hutch I found this film to be a series of amusing sketches, badly stitched together. It just felt a little slow at times, as the story struggled to get to the next sketch.

However, the look of the film was spot on. The Gran Torino was the obvious star, with all the wheel spin and tail sliding that we all love. Stiller and Wilson played their parts admirably, but felt incomplete. Snoop played a well dressed Huggy Bear, although somewhat higher in the chain than the original.

An occasional poke at the 70s, and anachronisms common to these types of film, kept me vaguely entertained til the end. I think for these kinds of movies you have to feel the entire cast and crew were having a blast. Maybe they did, but I didn't catch that vibe.

It was stitched together better than the 2nd attempt of one other 70s remake I could mention, but then that had 3 lovely ladies playing the leads. Mind you, "Staci" (Carmen Elektra) and the others were good eye candy.

Your review disappoints me. I was hoping it would be better than that. Owen Wilson probably was having a good time. He doesn't get as serious as Ben Stiller does. Do you think his nose is for real? It seems to take on different shapes like putty sometimes.
