Starsky and Hutch DVD
Pre Order
Release Date July 20 |
Coming off the heels
of his hilarious college romp OLD
SCHOOL, director Todd Phillips returns with a film that mocks the
television cop dramas of the 1970s. Based on the crime-fighting television
series of the same name, STARSKY & HUTCH follows the exploits
of two west coast detectives. David Starsky (Ben Stiller) is a
by-the-books officer who would like nothing more than to expose his
partner Hutch's bouts of inconsistency. Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson
(Owen Wilson) is a far more open-minded spirit with a tendency for
meandering. Added to the mix is the world's coolest informant, Huggy Bear
(Snoop Dogg), who wears an endless parade of stylish outfits. Starsky and
Hutch's rival is the charming yet brutal Reese Feldman (Vince Vaughn), a
maniacal drug lord with an absurd moustache who is prone to dramatic
outbursts. Phillips uses freeze frames and slow-motion to up the comic
ante, while Stiller and Wilson prove that they are a truly compatible duo,
and, finally, Will Ferrell makes yet another scene-stealing cameo--all
factors that ensure a long shelf life for this raucous spoof. |
