High-strung workaholic David Starsky (Ben Stiller) and laidback ladies' man Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (Owen Wilson) are detectives who patrol the crime-ridden streets of Bay City, Calif. When the murdered body of a drug dealer is found on a local beach, Starsky and Hutch follow the clues to repeat offender Reese Feldman (Vince Vaughn). But time and again the mismatched cops fail to apprehend the shifty Feldman, while under their noses he goes about planning his biggest trafficking operation yet.

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.

Chicago Reader

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.

David Ansen

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.

Good fun. Get the popcorn or munchies and just enjoy it. Snoop dog is fun here as always. The soundtrack is great and after you watch it you will want a red Ford Torino too. PS the actors are hilarious.

One of the worst movies of all time featuring two of the worst "actors" of all time. Neither can act. Just mug for the camera. Why does hollywood keep wasting our time with these "never was".

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.
