In Starsky & Hutch, the origins of the charismatic crime-fighting duo David Starsky and Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson are explored when these undercover Bay City detectives are partnered for their very first assignment. Ben Stiller plays the tightly wound Detective David Starsky who is thrown together with Owen Wilson's easygoing Detective Ken Hutchinson on a high-stakes case. Platinum-selling rapper and actor Snoop Dogg plays their savvy street informant Huggy Bear. Vince Vaughn also joins the cast as Reese Feldman, a smooth-talking entrepreneur with an eye towards the future.

Description of Starsky & Hutch (Widescreen Edition):
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson--dark, wiry, and tense meets blond, lanky, and loose--make a solid comic team (and previously appeared together in Zoolander), but the funniest man in Starsky and Hutch is Vince Vaughn. Vaughn dives into his role as a sleazy drug dealer (who nonetheless buys a pony for his daughter's bat mitzvah) with the offhand zest that he brings to almost every role (from Swingers to Old School) and effortlessly steals every scene he's in. Vaughn has concocted a new and undetectable kind of cocaine, and only two cops who aren't afraid to break the rules--our titular pair--can catch him. But the plot isn't the point; mocking-yet-loving jabs at the '70s, including the homoerotic overtones of Starsky and Hutch's partnership, are what this movie is about. The satire is surprisingly mild but entertaining nonetheless, particularly when Vaughn or Snoop Dogg (as informant Huggy Bear) hold the screen. --Bret Fetzer

2008-12-17 - Love this movie! If you love like Ben Stiller Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn this is a must have to add to your collection.
Like An Upgrade From The Series
2008-11-21 - This movie of STARSKY & HUTCH is awesome and funny and even better than the STARSKY & HUTCH TV show with David Soul(Ken Huthinson) and Paul Michael-Glaser(Dave Starsky) that ran on ABC for 4 years from 1975-1979, since the movie with Ben Stiller(Starsky) and Owen Wilson(Hutch) has more action and more drama in it and explaining the true story behind Starsky & Hutch's partnership and relationship and how they met and got started before they became partners along with the fact that Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller do an astonishing job at playing STARSKY & HUTCH.
This movie was also a lot funnier than the TV series was and I loved this movie even though I was never a very big STARSKY & HUTCH fan when it was on ABC back in the 1970's, even though it was a very popular police drama back then when David Soul was a sex symbol and a teen idol, since he became well-known for his big hit love song "Don't Give Up".
Additionally, this movie also made and formatted everything to look exactly like things did back in the 1970's, including cars, hairstyles, clothing, music, disco, etc., plus they played a lot of popular oldies from the 70's like "Use Me" by Bill Withers, "Back Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightengale, "We've Only Just Begun" by The Carpenters, "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton, "That's The Way I Like It" by KC & The Sunshine Band, "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal, etc.
I also found it interesting when they showed the new Starsky & Hutch(Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson) come face to face with the old Starsky & Hutch(Paul -Michael Glaser, David Soul) at the end of the movie when Paul-Michael Glaser gives the keys to the red Ford Gran Torino to Ben Stiller that they always used on both the movie and the series too.
