Starsky and Hutch
Last weekend, I went with my roommate, another friend, my sister, and parents to see Starsky and Hutch. I was actually suprised that the movie was quite good. While it was by no means fantastic, it was entertaining, and held my attention. The film is based on the 70s sitcom by the same name and stars Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. The two are the police version of The Odd Couple. Starsky is very prompt and detailed, whereas Hutch is very messy and relaxed. When they are first assigned to be partners, Hutch shows up late. Here is the conversation they have:
Starsky:It's 10 o'clock, you're late; I've been here since 8.
Hutch: 8 o'clock? I didn't even know this place opened that early.
Starsky: It's okay though, because crime called in sick, it's going to get a late start too.
Hutch: Crime called in sick, I like that...
The entire movie is filled with humorous dialog such as that. The supporting cast is quite large as well, including Vince Vaughn, Snoop Dogg, Juliette Lewis, Amy Smart, Carmen Electra, and Jason Bateman. There were also cameos from the original Starsky and Hutch. The film had its share of laughs, crys, and action. I enjoyed the film a lot and would actually consider buying it.
