6/10
Not even nearly as good as the first one as a movie, but, oh that music!
13 September 2001
As far as the movie goes, it is pretty lame. The main problem is obvious-Dan Ackroyd and John Goodman don't have the comic timing or rapport that Ackroyd and Belushi did. Not even close. But when yu look at the musicians involved-the Blues Brothers Band, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, the line-up that fills out the Louisiana Gator Boys, Jonny Lang, so many others I probably overlook, that's worth it alone. Buy the CD if it's available. As a movie, it would probably serve better if the negative were cut up and used for guita picks (except for most of the musical numbers). Music-10, movie-0
