Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson--dark, wiry, and tense meets blond, lanky, and loose--make a solid comic team (and previously appeared together in Zoolander), but the funniest man in Starsky and Hutch is Vince Vaughn. Vaughn dives into his role as a sleazy drug dealer (who nonetheless buys a pony for his daughter's bat mitzvah) with the offhand zest that he brings to almost every role (from Swingers to Old School) and effortlessly steals every scene he's in. Vaughn has concocted a new and undetectable kind of cocaine, and only two cops who aren't afraid to break the rules--our titular pair--can catch him. But the plot isn't the point; mocking-yet-loving jabs at the '70s, including the homoerotic overtones of Starsky and Hutch's partnership, are what this movie is about. The satire is surprisingly mild but entertaining nonetheless, particularly when Vaughn or Snoop Dogg (as informant Huggy Bear) hold the screen. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Starsky & Hutch For A New Generation!!!
If you have seen the original series in the 70's, you may or may not like this version. Because it's more funny, and they get Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughan, Will Ferrell, Amy Smart, Carmen Electra and Snoop Dogg to be in it. So they wanted people that young adults and teenagers would like. Pretty much everyone from 'Old School' is in it. It's still very funny. It even has cameos from the original Starsky and Hutch! If you love comedy, and the original series, maybe you'll love STARSKY & HUTCH!!!
Rating: - Ben Stiller, Disco King! Hilarious movie with great action.
This is one of those rare comedies that makes me laugh pretty much uncontrollably. "Starsky and Hutch" is well written and directed with a stellar cast including Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson in the title roles and featuring Vince Vaughan, Jason Bateman, Carmen Electra and a hilarious performance from the great Fred Williamson as the police captain. Some examples of the hilarity: Starsky and Hutch's captain (Williamson) regularly calls the boys on the carpet using hilarious profanity over their misguided efforts at law enforcement. Starsky tries to convince a suspect to confess using a fake game of Russian roulette. What Starsky doesn't know is that there's really a bullet in the gun (and the suspect speaks Korean and can't warn him). Starsky and Hutch go to arrest a suspect not realizing that his kid is a knife-throwing martial artist - the kid's dad keeps yelling to the kid in Korean "throw more knives." And perhaps the most hilarious of all: a disco dance off between Starsky and some overweight king of "Saturday Night Fever". Starsky is high on cocaine, which he thought was sweetener and poured into his coffee. There's much, much more. The 70's setting and music are terrific. The stunt driving and other action is great. I was never a real fan of the series, but I loved this take-off. And yes, the original Starsky and Hutch have a cameo. Oh, and Snoop Dogg is perfect as Huggy Bear. The extras include a fashion show by Snoop, explaining the 70's pimpwear worn by Huggy. Highly recommended.
Rating: - one of my favorites
this movie is one of my all time favorites, i can watch it over and over again.
Rating:  - More fun that it has a right to be
Starsky and Hutch is more fun than it has any right to be, even if it does depart from the series in many ways. Stiller has Paul Michael Glaser's mannerisms down to a tee (he even has Glaser's bizarre run, like a hyperactive duck doing a windmill impersonation, down to perfection) but otherwise is another of his trademark anal neurotics while Owen Wilson takes Hutch even further away as a laid back dude not above a spot of robbery to supplement his salary. But it is funny, good natured and doesn't outstay its welcome too much. The only real bum note is giving the final glory to Snoop's terrible Huggy Bear, a charmless, boring and lazy performance constantly outshone by his own bodyguards.
Rating:  - Bacardi and Cola-Do It!
Hysterically funny, and you might feel dumber after you watch it, but it is a classic!
