Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: Dan Aykroyd John Belushi Run time: 133 minutes Rating: R Amazon.com: After building up the duo's popularity through recordings and several performances on Saturday Night Live, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd--as 'legendary' Chicago blues brothers Jake and Elwood Blues--took their act to the big screen in this action-packed hit from 1980. As Jake and Elwood struggle to reunite their old band and save the Chicago orphanage where they were raised, they wreak enough good-natured havoc to attract the entire Cook County police force. The result is a big-budget stunt-fest on a scale rarely attempted before or since, including extended car chases that result in the wanton destruction of shopping malls and more police cars than you can count. Along the way there's plenty of music to punctuate the action, including performances by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and James Brown that are guaranteed to knock you out. As played with deadpan wit by Belushi and Aykroyd, the Blues Brothers are 'on a mission from God,' and that gives them a kind of reckless glee that keeps the movie from losing its comedic appeal. Otherwise this might have been just a bloated marathon of mayhem that quickly wears out its welcome (which is how some critics described this film and its 1998 sequel). Keep an eye out for Steven Spielberg as the city clerk who stamps some crucial paperwork near the end of the film.--Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - This won't give you the blues; that's for sure... I remember when I was a kid visiting Universal Studios with my family and we always stopping in the street to listen to the Blues Brothers. There was a huge crowd of people gathered around to `boogie' as it were; shaking their money-makers for two middle-aged men in black suits. It was awesome. I was very young at the time, pre-teen, and so the idea of watching the movie from which all this fun came from was not within my reach. My parents were very strict when it came ...

Great blues type music through out the movie, a lot of great musician cameos, and one of the best SNL made movies ever. Rating: - classic comedy When Jake and Elwood Blues are reunited after Jake's stint in Joliet, Jake finds that the beloved Bluesmobile has been replaced by a former City of Mount Prospect police car, and the Blues Brothers Band has been disbanded. They visit "the penguin," the nun who runs the orphanage where they grew up, only to find that the orphanage will be shut down unless they come up with $5000 in back taxes. Since she vetoes any suggestion of ill-gotten gains, Jake comes up with a plan: put the band back ... Read More Rating: - The Blues Brothers It's the BEST Movie ever according to my brother!
