Starsky Hutch 2004

Set in the 1970s in a metropolis called Bay City this is the tale of two police detective partners Ken Hutch Hutchinson and Dave Starsky who always seem to get the toughest cases from their boss Captain Dobey rely on omniscient street informer Huggy Bear and race to the scene of the crimes in their soupedup 1974 Ford Torino hot rod telling the story of their first big case (as a prequel to the TV show) which involved a former college campus drug dealer who went on to become a white collar criminal.

Review

Of all the recent buddycop movies released lately this is one of the better ones.

Biggest strength of this movie is in the two main characters played by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. They are such a great screen duo together and have some great team chemistry on the screen. The movie is filled with many other great comical talented actors such as Vince Vaughn as the main villain Snoop Dogg and Will Ferrell and some smaller roles for famous names such as Chris Penn Carmen Electra Amy Smart and Juliette Lewis.

But the movie is more then just an ordinary buddymovie it also is a priceless parody of ❰'s TVshows in general. It uses some of the same camerapositions and style of editing at times especially in the action sequences. But also the way of acting dialog and costumes perfectly spoof all those silly ❰ TVseries. I'm not sure if everybody catch or understood this but I really laughed out loud at some moments.

The comedy can be put in the category silly so this movie is clearly not suitable for everyone. The humor is really overthetop but I for one really enjoyed that. The characters are really silly but the professional comedy actors portray them extremely well and likable.

A perfectly fun comedy to kill some time with.
