Critics Consensus

It's uneven and occasionally somewhat aimless, but Starsky & Hutch benefits from Stiller and Wilson's chemistry and a surprisingly warm-hearted script.

It's funny. It's hard to gauge the criticism of this movie as I haven't seen the original TV show. But I think the movie stands on its own just fine and is very funny.

Although I'm unfamiliar with the 70s TV series, this movie reboot of Starsky and Hutch was funny and entertaining, albeit silly and predictable. Wilson and Stiller's chemistry makes for a great buddy cop comedy. I liked that they brought back the OG actors for a cameo, too.

It's fun but not as much as otherStiller Wilson comedies. Vince Vaughn is preetty good and he steals every scene he's in. Snoop Dogg is fun and there are some nice jokes in it

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Neither overly funny or having great action scenes, this movie comes across as an ordinary attempt to cash in on an iconic tv show. Disappointing.

Stiller and Wilson are still hilarious as the supercool detectives–there hasn't been a comedy duo this good since John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.

Newsweek

Snoop Dogg, as a superfly snitch, and Vince Vaughn, as a drug lord, are wasted in obvious supporting roles. It's harmless fun--and too lazy to be more.

London Evening Standard

At a time when the Hollywood studios seem locked in a competition to see who can make and distribute the most witless spoofs, pastiches and tributes, along comes one that is genuinely funny.

Rob's Movie Vault

Amiable enough, and there are a couple of genuinely hilarious moments. But guys as smart and witty as Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are just wasting themselves on ’70s TV nostalgia.
