Editorial Review:
A TIMID COLLEGE PROFESSOR, CONNED INTO POSING AS A FLAMBOYANT PIMP, FINDS HIMSELF ENJOYING HIS NEW OCCUPATION ON THE STREETS.
Doctor Detroit Reviews:
I have been waiting for this release 
2009-05-09 - I discovered Dr. Detroit on cable and became addicted to it. I have been checking for years, waiting for it to be released on DVD. That happy day has arrived. Mr. Ackroyd, the cast and the soundtrack (DEVO) make it a classic.
Doctor Detroit 
2009-03-19 - Classic Dan Aykroyd film from the 80's. I love the 80's films. Dan plays a pimp in the film. Hella funny.
Doctor Detroit
2009-01-06 - Purchased as a gift for my 30 yr old son. He is a great fan of Dan Akroyd, as are we, his parents. He has had a great time viewing the movie and has recommended it to all his friends.
"Xanadu" is reviled and not this pablum?! 
2008-12-28 - Dan Akroyd = comic genius, everybody knows that.
Trouble is, this is a typical early-80s waste-fest.
Witness:
* Walking mannequins with gross amounts of make-up
* every other word is profane and is supposed to pass as humor
* A vague and inane plot regarding a sleazy situation
* delving into stereotypes to drive purportedly funny scenes (they're not)
* anti-nerd (Akroyd's character)
Typical of the time and, trust me, that's not saying much.
I had sat through the first 30 minutes, and my attention quickly wandered as the proceedings continued.
Want good Akroyd? Find "Ghostbusters". Dr Detroit is a malpractice case. Want a movie Akroyd should have been in?
Just Plain Funny

After all these years, this movie is still funny . Was lloking for a long time for this "blast from my past" movie. Haven't stopped watching and laughing since I got it.
