Author Topic: Starsky & Hutch Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-22-2004 12:52 AM                        Screened our Sneak Preview tonight with our paying audience seeing that we didn't get the print until 4pm today. All in all, a decent film, taking into consideration what it is meant to be. I really wanted to see the film whe nI first saw the banner. Then I saw the trailer which pretty much changed my mind. Overall, the acting typifies what one would expect from both Wilson and Stiller. Snoop is, well, he's simply Snoop. I'd give this a 2.5 out of 5. Not a must see by any stretch of the imagination.  |  IP: Logged Nick Engstrom Film Handler Posts: 23 From: USA Registered: Dec 2003 posted 03-05-2004 03:27 AM                    agreed, I pretty much gave it 2 out of 5, while I laughed a ton, for the most part, I thought it was dry and dull I was sadly disappointed, especially by how much they played off Old School  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 03-05-2004 12:33 PM                        This movie SUCKED!!!! Anything remotely funny was already in the trailers. It's not worth the money or the time to watch this stupid movie.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-05-2004 01:47 PM                     The 2004 Suck-A-Thon continues with Starsky and Hutch. Bad, bad, bad.  |  IP: Logged William Leland III Master Film Handler Posts: 336 From: Charleston, SC, Registered: Aug 2002 posted 03-05-2004 04:13 PM                        i like Vince Vaughn, but he couldn't save this sucky movie, it sucked  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-05-2004 05:27 PM                     I rather enjoyed this one but not as much as Old School. I found it funny about the "homage" to Old School during the Bat Mitzvah scene.  |  IP: Logged Dennis M Dow Jr Expert Film Handler Posts: 141 From: Bloomfield NJ USA Registered: Oct 2003 posted 03-05-2004 11:22 PM                       I thought this movie was ok.... First off it was nothing like the original series nor was it meant to be.... the costumes and hair styles were way over the top as was some of the acting. Overall 2 out of 4  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-10-2004 01:45 AM                     The movie itself was not too bad, I have seen far worse so far this year... What was bad was the GIGANTIC CRAP code that had HUGE orange dots in a pattern that was half the screen width wide! and almost all of it in bright light colored scenes in the film! And this coming from Technicolor Hollywood, not DeLuxe!! -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-10-2004 04:04 AM                     Aaron, you might want to reject that reel. None of my prints had cap code like that.  |  IP: Logged James Leon Rockett Jr Film Handler Posts: 7 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 03-11-2004 01:45 PM                     I can't be the only one who liked it.. Todd Phillips directing Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson? You can't expect more than a laugh riot, and that's what I got out of it.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-11-2004 01:56 PM                    When are they going to give it up. Stop making movies based off of TV shows. They just do not work. I didn't like Mod Squad I didn't like Charlis angels and I didn't like Starsky and Hutch. Owen wilson was being himself stupid and numbing to the senses. I did like Ben Stiller doing Starsky especially when he went under cover.....Do it! Do it!.....Wilson's humor is so stale in movies and you can't look at him without having to brake your stare from that screwed up nose he has. I give this one *1/2 stars out of four.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

Can anyone tell me what was so funny about the scene showing a horse or a pony being shot to death at a child's birthday party? -Claude  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 03-11-2004 04:53 PM                        Stiller's undercover bit was a blatant reprise of his "Do it Man" character from the Ben Stiller Show ten years ago. Yes, it's a funny bit, but it's the fact that he used it at all that made me cringe. They must have run out of ideas. I was walking through the auditorium last weekend as a full audience viewed the film, and they were laughing hysterically at things like poking a corpse in the crotch with a stick. What, that was funny? I'm so out of touch with today's movie-going public. (Or, perhaps, I've just developed taste ... well, that can be argued, too.)  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-18-2004 01:04 PM                    I guess it makes it more funny when you have never seen the Ben Stiller Show. Claude, that whole scene involved a shoot out the pony was inside a tent. Nobody new it was there.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 03-18-2004 01:32 PM                        Darryl, Yes, I know the shooting of the pony was unintentional in the movie but I still cannot understand why it should provoke people to laugh when that happened. Being an animal lover, my heart ached when I saw that scene in the trailer and I knew I was not going to spend my hard earned money on a movie that makes fun of a killing of one of God's innocent creatures. -Claude  |  IP: Logged
