(1 - 47) of 47 OFCS Rating: 53% Rotten Page   1   "Because I got such a kick out of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson in 'Zoolander,' I'm happy they're back on track in 'Starsky & Hutch.'"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker A "This is sure to be one of the best comedies of the year."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Who could have anticipated that Snoop would be the saving grace of a major studio buddy flick?"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "For every solid rib tickler, there are about three bits that make the film's brief running time seem a lot longer."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger 2.5/4 "...the movie doesn't take any of its material seriously—a big plus—and the alertness of the characters usually results in some scenes of hilarious comic value..."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 1.5/4 "Any resemblance between the original -- and fun! -- 1970's TV series and this in-name-only Todd Phillips's dud is entirely accidental."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2.5/4 "Though there are a few chuckles to be had - mostly thanks to Vaughn's hilariously over-the-top performance - the film is curiously lacking in the guffaws department."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "... a delightful, if uneven, bit of pop culture snark."   Portland Tribune   Dawn Taylor 2/4 "The majority of the humor falls flat, the pacing holds no true momentum, and passing entertainment value turns to frustration before the first hour is up."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "The film is fitfully amusing but never quite reaches the heights it ought to."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "Todd Phillips is the succubus of filmmakers. I can only assume that’s how he keeps getting jobs. By giving them."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B "Stiller and Wilson are becoming the most memorable comedic duo since Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2.5/4 "...captures the quirky spirit of its original televised counterpart...spunky and spry...a groovy escapist piece of entertainment that hits more than it misses "   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "Reeks of mediocrity...the show was hardly a classic, but even so this insipid remolding doesn't do it justice."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "The key to the film's success is that it uses the burned out premise as the springboard for a comedy, not an action flick."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "never quite as good as you’d wish it would be, although there are a couple of scenes that are real gems"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2/5 "Wilson-Stiller comedy revamps a 1970s TV show for a few laughs -- but just a few."   Netflix   James Rocchi 7/10 "The closest thing I see to being a revival of the two-man comedy team is the pairing of Stiller and Wilson."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "The real standout in the supporting cast is Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear. Snoop steals every scene he’s in and is missed when he’s gone for long stretches."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 5/10 "The screenplay could have used at least a couple of more rewrites to be truly funny."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 66/100 "A humorous but ultimately unsatisfying comedy."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 6/10 "...inoffensive, sometimes charming, and often irritatingly dull. Its satirical jabs are aimed at easy targets, its jokes repetitious or redundant, its pacing a little slow."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Bad mimes, dead ponies, cheerleader threesomes, perverted prisoners..."Starsky & Hutch" is everything you would expect from a television upgrade and more."   Light Views   John Larsen 5/10 "Just stay home and wait for The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" to play on MTV2."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 1/4 "... anyone can see the only thing (the film) has to do with “Starsky & Hutch” is the car (and the car should have had top billing, too)."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 1.5/4 "I like Stiller and Wilson, but they need better material than these witless mainstream flicks."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "Director Phillips may have set out to update the classic TV show, but what he ended up with is a 21st-Century remake of 'Dragnet', the Tom Hanks-Dan Aykroyd two-star flick. "   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll B- "...Stiller and Wilson's opposing approaches to comedy are perfectly paralleled in their casting here and the 70's come alive again via fondue, AMC Pacers and Barry Manilow."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/5 "Too much of the script relies on smug, lazy strip-mining of second-rate pop-culture sources for no better reason that to give hipsters an opportunity to snicker at disco fashions."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "For what it is, Starsky & Hutch is a big success"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "[M]ight as well be called Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller Do Their Schtick in Funny 70s Clothes..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "I’m not sure that it would make me want to go back and re-watch old episodes of the show, but that’s all right. The show was then, the movie is now. And the movie is good."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "Genuine affection for the original and just the right touch of snarky post-modernism."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Judging by the looks of Todd Phillips’ tired Starsky and Hutch, it appears that 70s nostalgia has finally run its course."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "Stiller e Wilson certamente já provaram ser capazes de originarem uma franquia baseada não em personagens, mas em suas próprias personalidades."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca "I wish that director/co-writer Todd Phillips...could have come up with something a little smarter than this nonsense."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 3.5/5 "The casting is pure genius."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C- "That scraping sound you hear is postmodernism hitting the bottom of the barrel."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "An amiable comedy, boosted by some good jokes, solid performances and plenty of charm."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "Starsky and Hutch is a bit of amusing 70’s nostalgia that is a good vehicle for its stars."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "Capably accomplishes precisely what it set out to do in the first place...which is to deliver good, goofy laughs in a light and amiable setting."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B- "Mildly amusing and true to the spirit of both the show and its host decade."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "Moves slowly and without much grace; it tries to jiggle laughs out of us instead of letting them flow freely."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 7/10 "It's an easy, breezy romp of a movie."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3/4 "Starsky and Hutch is a rarity: a big-screen parody of an old television series that's actually pretty good."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 1/4 "The filmic equivalent of a roofie: you're sure that something happened while you were out, but damned if you know what it was."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 47) of 47 OFCS Rating: 53% Rotten Page   1
