The Wax

March 07, 2004

Starsky & Hutch -- eh.

Overall, S & H is a fair movie, entertaining, memory-inspiring and generally likable. The problems are with the casting of the two main leads.

Ben Stiller, as Starsky is the same as Ben Stiller in Meet The Parents, or Ben Stiller in There's Something About Mary, or Ben Stiller in just about anything he is ever been in in the last 5-10 years (with the exception of Zero Effect which was pretty good).

Owen Wilson is the same. I couldn't get over their one-trick-pony acting styles.

One "actor" who really shines through is Snoop Dogg. I usually squirm when I hear about another Rapper gone actor, because to rarely is the transition successful. In this case, it is. Snoop is a great nouveaux Huggy Bear.

twostar -- I wouldn't put it first on your list. But it could be worth a matinee.

Would you describe it as Zoolander 2? Is it really , really, rediculously good looking?

It has a blue steel feel to it...but...

Snoop was good but he is always like that. No different from Wilson and Stiller in their rolls. But how about the worst of them all? Vince Vaughn has played that character 100 times!

Davidissimo...this is Hollywood, babay!! If the shoe fits, wear it!

Don't forget Permanant Midnight for Stiller. That was an excellent role.

I'd give S&H 2.5 stars.
