Anyone gonna be seein it?

Got potential, I'm thinking that it will be an entertaining piece, since they've got Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson in lead, director of Old School/Road Trip doing it. My problem is Snoop Dogg in a major role.

That's funny. He did star with LL Cool J in "S.W.A.T"
But, yeah, I plan on seeing Ben and Owen.
yea but ll cool j never had a rap career or movie career, so i guess samuel's not contradicting himself
Ben & Owen in their 'S&H' gear is a ridiculous site to behold! I can't wait, it should be hilarious.
:shock:
God Bless Todd Phillips.
I think this will be great.

So true!
So where's the trailer already?
Wow. Vince Vaughn was born to wear that mustache. Now my only reservation is that this is going to be a PG-13 movie (I thought that's what I heard).
Damn this things gonna be classic. I hope its as funny as it looks. And Vaughn's a legend.
Holy shit, at first I was dismissive of this movie, but these shots look really great. Vince Vaughn stole my mustache, but it looks better on him anyhow.
What's the release date?
IMDb says March 5 2004
I've never seen "Starsky and Hutch" before but if Stiller acts anything like he did in the Cops skits on The Ben Stiller Show then this will be classic. I still say he's the funniest actor working today...."Along Came Polly" (maybe) aside....who knows though, it may surprise me...."Safe Men" is an indy classic.
has anyone else seen this?

it looks like the funniest thing ever. supposedly comes out this summer.
Dodgeball
Stars: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Christine Taylor
Plot: When the financial future of their favorite gym is threatened to be taken over by a national fitness franchise, a group of friends (led by Stiller) agree to compete as a dodgeball team at a "winner takes all" competition in Las Vegas against a team (led by Vaughn) that's the best the big corporation can buy.
Stiller looks like one of those Cobra guys off "G.I. Joe." Coobraaaa!
And, yes, I will preorder my tickets for this.
He stole my mustache!
It's Owen Wilson for christsakes! The man's a legend!
I'm praying every night that Will Ferrell does another movie with Ben Stiller. Praying, man. Owen can come along too. The Time Of The Comedians has come
'Old School' would've been way better had Stiller been in place of Luke Wilson. Stiller/Ferrel/Vaughn. Just a thought.....

snoop is like Christopher Walken 2.0 now, it's like everytime you want a funny cameo/ co-star, you just call snoop.
but about sam jackson's comment, I think Ice Cube is a real actor. He wrote Friday, which was a really funny movie, and was in Three Kings. Sam's never written no funny movie and never really played any character outside "The Baddest Shittalking Motherfucker in the Entire Movie", even in arthouse pics like The Red Violin, and even when he sits in a wheelchair.
plus I don't really see how necessarily better it is to lend credibility of colin farrel or vin diesel.

I saw a movie poster of this at the theatre and I'm very excited. I hope it goes for the 70s look and shoots for the R.
Official Trailer in Quicktime:
Hi-Res (http://media.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/starskyandhutch/trailer_hi/trailer_a.mov)

Lo-Res (http://media.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/starskyandhutch/trailer_lo/trailer_a.mov)
this movie will be hilarious. the narrator and standard cutting in the trailer try to make it look terrible, but its ultimate funniness shines through regardless.
i think the narration actually works. goes with the whole 70s look and feel.
yeah i'm sure that is real representative of what the actual movie is gonna be like.
I watched this trailer 5 times this weekend...
If the actual movie is even half as good as the trailer looks, this could easily be the funniest movie of the year!!!
Ben Stiller's hair & posture + Vince Vaughn = fun movie

I just saw this tonight. It's funny... It was a little better than what I was expecting.
It was pretty much as good as Zoolander... maybe Zoolander was a little better, but it's hard to tell after one viewing.
I would see it again on dvd, but I don't think I'd ever buy it.
Overall, I was scared it was gonna suck because there are so many funny people in it and that often spells disaster, but it didn't suck and was definitely worth shelling out eight bucks to see in the theater.
i LOVE zoolander, so if this is close to as funny as that, its as much i can hope for.
Don't think I should create a thread for a non-movie, so I guess this is the best place for it...
So Todd Philips says there's no Old School 2 anymore. The details from CHUD:
Q: How about the rumors about an Old School 2?
Todd: No, we're not going to do Old School 2.
Q: Why not?
Todd: I had a little fall-out with DreamWorks over this movie Eurotrip. I felt like they really marketed it off of my two movies even though I had nothing to do with it and it looked like the worst movie ever, but somehow I got dragged into it and it made me crazy. I said, 'If you do this, I won't do Old School 2.' And they said, 'Well, this is business and we've got to worry about this movie right now.' So, I said, 'All right.'
Q: It has a really similar plot to Road Trip...
Todd: Ah, I don't want to talk about it. I didn't see it, I won't see it and it pissed me off, so I won't do business with them. It's a bummer.
So it looks like we get no more further adventures of 'Frank the Tank.' FUCK EUROTRIP! :evil:
Quote from: Weak2ndAct...it looked like the worst movie ever...
I kind of did think it looked pretty bad (eurotrip)
Who gives a crap about Sam Jackson...he's pretty much the worst actor I've ever had the displeasure of seeing.
I'll take Ice Cube's "Doughboy" over anything I've ever seen Jackson do. And no I don't believe Sam is a badass.
Quote from: Weak2ndActTodd: 'If you do this, I won't do Old School 2.' And they said, 'Well, this is business and we've got to worry about this movie right now.' So, I said, 'All right.'

haha, oh 2ndact. how you forget. todd phillips doesnt own the rights to shit. the studio, whenever they are ready, will find some other hot upandcoming comedy director and make Old School 2 anyways! they could take a big shit on todd phillips head, they dont care!
I saw it last night and I didn't think it was that great. For all the funny people involved, it should have been a lot better than it was. Vince Vaughn's character wasn't that funny, and it even seemed in some scenes like the movie really wanted you to take him seriously as a villian. That was the main problem with the movie, the tone was all over the place. In some scenes it was a goofy comedy, and then in other scenes it was more of a straight action flick. I hate to break it to Todd Phillips, but I thought "Eurotrip" was a lot funnier than this movie, and I think most audiences are going to react the same way too. Maybe Phillips just isn't as funny when he makes a PG-13 movie- "Road Trip" and "Old School" were both R.
The best part of the movie was Ben Stiller reprising a character he used to do on his sketch show- the old Jewish guy who says "Do it. Do it"
yeah exactly, i was let down by this. Road Trip and Old School were so god damn funny, but this hardly had me laughing. There were too many scenes that had no laughes in them when there should have been. And yes...fuck Eurotrip...fuck them in their posing asses.

did you like ZOOLANDER?
Well, Oldschool had Will Ferrell in a very active roll and was pretty damned funny, but S&H is better than Road Trip, which went for shitty cheap laughs, and not very professionally either.
I don't think Starsky and Hutch took itself at ALL seriously, just barely enough to keep a plot going. The action was way too ridiculous to think that they wanted a real action movie.
The audience I was with was cracking up and raving about this movie. It will do well.
*Bump*
Anyone going to see this tonight?
Quote from: MyxomatosisAnyone going to see this tonight?
Why? Do you need a date?
I really hope this is better than Old School, which was the funniest movie ever for the first 25 minutes, then didn't register on the laugh-o-meter for the rest of the time (well, maybe except for Will burning himself). That was my biggest let-down of last year. Please let S&H be as good as the trailer makes it seem...
i saw this and i am not a fan. it seems like todd phillips is under the impression that setting the movie in the seventies and having the characters wear seventies' clothes is funny enough in itself to make this a comedy, but it really isn't. It was funnier in the preview than in the the actual movie. There really aren't too many jokes, and aside from Will Farrell as the inmate who likes dragons, and Owen Wilson singing, i didn't laugh out loud at anything else.

Yeah, the trailer got me excited too, P.
I think PTA was a guest director in the disco scene. Patton Oswalt played the DJ, there were lots of steadicam swish pans, and something about the lighting was very Boogie Nights-esque.
Any PAs on Starsky & Hutch out there that can confirm/deny this?
i just saw this. everything about it was hilarious. ben stiller and owen wilson are obviously a perfect team (see Zoolander). owen and ben playing opposite each other at all will be funny. ben stillers character sort of reminded me of him as chaz in The Royal Tenenbaums. him being somewhat flustered and psychotic at times. i dont know. i love the 70s. i never saw the t.v. show, but i doubt you need to. i couldnt imagine anyone else but snoop dog as huggy bear. on conan, snoop mentioned chris rock and don cheadle as being up for this role. i cant believe this part was not written for him. vince vaughn with his 70s mustache was genius. the soundtrack was classic 70s and fit really well. the women in this film are hot.....70s hot. i wont say it was funnier than Zoolander, but it was funny nonetheless. just a great, fun movie.
I thought it was funny. The film didn't seem to concentrate all the humor on the crazy 70s styles like I've read in a few reviews.
Quote from: FishbulbThat was the main problem with the movie, the tone was all over the place. In some scenes it was a goofy comedy, and then in other scenes it was more of a straight action flick.
yeah i saw this yesterday and i have to agree with you. the tone to this movie was really bizarre. its almost as if, for the most part, they wrote a script that could've been played 'straight' had they cast more serious actors in the 3 leads, but in casting 3 comic leads and allowing them to basically, well 'what if you guys were on the show?!' it creates some weird semi-serious tone most of the time. i blame todd phillips for this. i was under the impression that the movie was going to be more like a parody, allowing for as many jokes as possible and completely silly. instead, it was sort of like the Charlies Angels movies in the way that, although ridiculous, they still somewhat want you to follow the story as an action vehicle. the concept, had someone pitched it to me earlier, i think is a REALLY interesting one, like had they taken a real script from an episode of S&H and allowed vince, ben, owen to play those parts and improv on them, i think SOUNDS like a great idea. but this just wasnt as funny as it could've been. the whole idea was half baked.
Fuck. This was real promising for a while. All these bad and okey reviews just makes me wanna post a sad smiley :( It could've been great.
Okay, was it just me or did anyone else think Starkey & Hutch were gay?
This movie was okay, and Stiller and Wilson are the perfect team, but they aren't given much to do here and it comes no where near the hilarity that is Zoolander. It seemed like series of vignettes strung together with no regard for a basic plot; even giving in to the cliches of a buddy cop film. There was so much in the tv show just ripe for parody, and it's seen a bit in the opening where Starsky is chasing a perp (and again in the montage when they're shaking down thugs) - complete with hand-held, snap-zooms and the 70's score. But instead it felt as is the film played a it with a 'okay, it's set in the 70's, let's make fun of the era'. That said, it did have a pretty cool soundtrack though.
Quote from: MacGuffinOkay, was it just me or did anyone else think Starkey & Hutch were gay?
Yeah, I noticed that too. On "I Love the 70's" they mentioned something about some of the things on the t.v. series were rather...homoerotic? So, I'm guessing the movie just played off that to a larger extent.
Had its share of moments though. Will Ferrel is the best.
yeah it wasnt bad by any means. probably better than most comedies right now, but just fell short of its potential greatness by quite a bit. stiller and wilson are great, and it had its share of really funny stuff, but cant hold a candle anywhere near zoolander (or even old school).
I really liked this... very much... all the characters were funny and well done... even Snoop who I usually dont like... Will Ferrel as usual hilarious... Vince Vaughn was great... and Stiller/Wilson excellent...
I think they did a very good job... they could have easily fucked it up but they didnt...

Exactly.
Zoolander had some funny moments, but most of it wasn't that funny. Even as a stupid fun comedy it didn't do much for me.
Favourite scene from Zoolander "What is this? A school for ants!?". I watched that section of the trailer so many times.
For people in England, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are being interviewed together on Jonathan Ross's Chat Show on Friday Night, BBC. If they warm to him, which I'm sure they will, it should be extremely funny.
Still waiting for S&H to go wide here on the 19th. It will be the first time I've been to the movies for quite some time.

i thought it was pretty funny and enjoyable though i think it could have been something great. WF was the obvious highlight.
I liked that sucker ! I laughed quite a lot. I saw it in french and the translation was pretty god damn good (for once).
Hated the thing with the 'actual' Starsky and Hutch in the end though ... seemed out of place.
The best thing about this movie was Har Mar Superstar's cameo as Disco Rick. Though he was totally wasted, he should have been the singer at the bar mitsvah.

Some thoughts,
This movie was much better than I thought it would be, I thought them playing it as a buddy action film worked, I likened the film more to Lethal Weapon than Zoolander, etc.
Now on the subject of Zoolander, the movie has a few Great, great great moments but the rest kind of falls flat.
Everyone mentions Will Ferrell as being the best part, I disagree...Ferrel's humor wears thin on me and I only think he works as a supporting role (which in this he works).
As a buddy film the film is an enjoyable ride.
EDIT:
I didn't realize that was Har Mar Superstar but I think he is horrible. I saw him at a concert a few years ago...he got booed of the stage and people threw stuff at him, lots of stuff.
Quote from: SHAFTRon the subject of Zoolander, the movie has a few Great, great great moments but the rest kind of falls flat.
well i guess comedy is subjective, but HOW does it fall flat? i think its one of my favorite comedies ever.

When every single moment of a film is supposed to be funny, or is trying to be funny...it often doesn't work. Now there are some great moments in the movie, but there are also a lot of times when the jokes are thrown out a mile a minute and they just don't work.

I saw it this evening and really enjoyed it...for a movie I snuck into, although I wouldn't have minded paying for it either. I thought it was really funny, in a pleasantly understated way. It's the kinda movie that you look back on and smile, and if you manage to remember it, it gets funnier the more you think about it.
The homoeroticism was terrific.
