There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The acting in this movie is really good.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I was like 14 when I saw this movie. I went with my best friend and schoolmate. Shortly after they started calling us the Blues Brothers at school... I don't recall a movie so hilarious with such great music. I've made all my family see the movie, however most hate it. My wife just bears with it. The car chases have no match.

Funny, destructive, and crazy movie that will live on as a American classic forever.

From 1980, "The Blues Brothers," starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, is good for what ails you. It's funny and offbeat with great music and one of the all-time classic car chases thrown in. As one critic said, it shouldn't work. But it does. Big time.After musician Jake Blues (Belushi) is released from prison, and he and his brother Elwood (Aykroyd) visit one of the nuns (Kathleen Freeman) who raised them. She needs $5000 to pay taxes on the boarding school she runs. The boys want to help, even though she can slap a mean ruler on their knuckles, so they reassemble their old blues band and then attempt to find some gigs, even taking one at a country-western bar that isn't theirs. Just one problem. Everyone is after them, including the law, neo-Nazis led by Henry Gibson, the owner of the country-western bar where they didn't pay their bar bill, and a diminutive woman (Carrie Fisher) who tries to get them with bazookas, flame throwers, and whatever she can get her hands on. The musical artists in this film include James Brown, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, and Aretha Franklin, and they're all fabulous, as is their music. The Blues Brothers band itself is terrific.Belushi and Aykroyd make a perfect pair. The funniest part for me was Belushi at one point begging for his life. Such a loss of talent. John Landis did a masterful job of directing what was in fact a multi- genre film that was in fact no genre at all, combining elements of comedy, musical, and action-adventure.What fun.

Who better to revive this awesome franchise than to replace Danny Belushi with that of the "Blues Baller" Bill Murray.Billy Murray & Dan Aykroyd. Not to mention a heavy bit of Chevy Chase in there. It must work, this bunch would make the funniest group of guy's ever.We haven't seen much of truly great films by them in some time. Why can't that time be now? Exactly... It can be now.Give it a thorough thinking-over. This could happen. Looking forward to it as well. Amp up the comedy to their finest days, today.Great movie.
