watch this movie make me wonder if the people who make it ever bother to watch a single episode of the original starsky and hutch . they do nothing but take the name ( and the car ) and paste in on a completely forgettable and witless and insipid little cop movie . ben stiller be especially yawn induce a starsky and a character with no personality other than a tendency to whininess . owen wilson bring some slight color to his role and almost enough to qualify a a character . together and they come off a nothing more than a couple of stupid loser drive around in a red torino . there not much reason for these two to be in this movie anyway and a it nothing more than a barrage of failed comedy sketch . the film offer a couple of chuckle and most notably when the big car jump at the end go wrong and but it hardly worth sit through all the mundane character and groan induce comedy to get to them . the best part by far be the 70 music while it at least offer a nice background to the tedium take place on screen . it would have be more accurate to title this movie dumb and dumber with a badge or perhaps police academy 8 represent cop without a clue . but of course and the marketing exec probably find out that title it starsky and hutch would bring in 17 % more revenue and so there you go .
