Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: This essentially modest movie is reported to have cost about $30 million, and what did all that money buy? Scores of car crashes. Too many extras. Overstaged dance numbers. And a hollowness that certainly didn't come cheap.
Fresh: Given all the chaos, director and, with Aykroyd, cowriter, John Landis manages to keep things reasonably controlled and in a straight line.
Fresh: There's even room, in the midst of the carnage and mayhem, for a surprising amount of grace, humor, and whimsy.
Fresh: The film retains a huge nostalgic kick, thanks in large part to Aykroyd and Belushi's easy rapport, a smattering of daft, shaggy humour and some truly iconic musical sequences.

"We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses-Hit It!" The Blues Brothers is one of the best movies of all time!
