Critics' Reviews

75
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
A surprisingly funny movie, the best of the 1970s recycling jobs, with one laugh ("Are you OK, little pony?") almost as funny as the moment in "Dumb and Dumber" when the kid figured out his parakeet's head was Scotch-taped on.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Mike Clark
There may be no crying need for this movie, but we could use the laughs.Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
Were detective Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and his partner, Ken Hutchinson (David Soul), hot for each other when they started working undercover in Bay City?... you can watch Starsky and Hutch on the big screen and see subtext stiffen into hard and hilarious evidence.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
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.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
A perfect example of a really good not-great movie, the kind that would be classified as a guilty pleasure were it not executed with guilt-free honesty and good nature.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: A.O. Scott
The movie's advertising tagline ("Starsky & Hutch — they're the Man") needs to be amended. The film belongs, completely and utterly, to Snoop Dogg.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
To turn fondly remembered TV trash into a movie that knows it's cruddy -- and that isn't, therefore, quite as cruddy as it might have been -- takes a perverse pinch of talent, if not style.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Ty Burr
Stealing the movie, however, is rapper Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear, the pimp/informant originally portrayed by Antonio Fargas on the TV show.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
The second-best film parody (after The Brady Bunch Movie) of a '70s TV phenom that unaccountably looks better the further you get from it.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Dennis Lim
S&H's chief pleasure is the spontaneous, sometimes quite touching rapport between the two stars.Read Full Review »
