Summary: Love It, Hate It, It's Still The Blues.....Brothers!
Review: Love it or hate it, it doesn't matter, this is still a great blues film. Sure this sequel has a silly plot, but so was the original....it's a joke, get it? I found myself laughing repeatedly as the plot continued to satirize the entire concept of a sequel.....if it was too subtle for you, watch it again....it's right there, brazen as can be.But who on earth would watch this film for the plot? True to the original, 2000 is a great blues MUSIC sequel. You've got to admire the script writing that has Elwood earnestly trying to convince his band they can compete in a battle of the bands against Clapton backing B.B. with Clarence on sax, or Aretha actually delivering a better take on Respect than on the original film, or John Goodman doing James Browns' cape.....this is great stuff.....and what really matters is that the musicians are having a ball.....and it comes through loud and clear, with soul to spare. Buy this one for the music, the charisma that jumps off the screen and realize that Belushi would have loved it no matter what.....after all, it still celebrates the blues!

Summary: Major laughs and true to the original
Review: The movie takes place 18 after the original. Elwood gets out of prison and finds out that his brother Jake has died. It get's him down until the nun that helped raise him said that the guy that was the only father figure in his life(who had also died) had a son. Elwood automaticly figures this man to be his brother, but before he leaves the nun sticks him with a kid in the hopes they can relate to each other. He gets a job that doesn't last long, then starts to reunite the ban again.

Summary: The Dead Horse recents yet another Flogging
Review: As far as i am concerned the original blues brothers is an classic film, it has everything a good comedy should have and more. Unfortunately this film was made and is called its sequel, John Belushi (given a crazy drugged up fool at the time of its making) was a comedy genius and damn good blues singer. He will be spinning in his grave, god rest his soul, after making this muck. Whoever financed this film should be shot. Dan Ackroyd and John Landis, even though in there own right usually produce good work, need to be told off for unleashinging this on an unsuspecting public and for being stupid. This film has little or no plot (there is no reason to re-start the band), the music is over produced, the acting is so wooden and it just made me cringe the whole way it. I felt really cheated after the film because on looking at the cast, creative writing force and amount of money that was put into the movie, something far better should have been produced. Essentially what made me love the first movie isn't there. Watch this film at your own peril and disappointment!

Summary: Excellent! A Real THRILLER!
Review: A GRRRRRREAT MOVIE! Aykroyd was excellent, but the best cast member was actress/model Shann Johnson (Matara-the exotic dancer)! This model/actress/former Soul Train Dancer is a rising star! Superb! I hope to see her in many more movies! She is the next "J.Lo"!

Summary: Not for grocery store and eleveator music fans
Review: I LOVE this movie. If you like comedy and R&B you can't miss this flick. If you went to a Catholic school as a kid (as I did), well then consider this homework, or humor therapy, your choice. The line up of significant musician treasures is unbelievable, B.B. King, Lou Rawls, Eric Clapton, Aretha good God the list goes on and on at that 1st class level. Check it out! Anyone who reviews this movie less than five stars has some sort of perception impairment. If you have the blues, this movie will cure what ails you. Not recommended for serious grocery store and eleveator music fans.

Summary: You won't regret this purchase
Review: I can't say that this is the best movie ever made, but it is certainly one of the best. The plot and the musical shows go hand in hand, and combination of Dan Aykroyd and John Goodman is quite successful (Although I have to admit, that Belushi was a much better match for Aykroyd).
