STARSKY AND HUTCH (Theatrical Release USA 2004)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

Starsky and Hutch works because of exceptionally good casting decisions that paired the unlikely team of Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller together. The well-written story holds its own throughout the movie. This turns into a good, comedy/action police show that is easy to follow and entertains.
