The Blues Brothers (1980)

Second viewing.

Two brothers, one of them just released from prison, try to reassemble a rhythm-and-blues band, and also pay a religious institution's income tax debt.

It is hard to say anything new about such an abundantly seen and commented film. That it somehow has an excessive fame, it's been said and it's correct. That the musical numbers are good, ditto. Other than that, there is a humor based on mayhem that is mildly funny.

Rating: 58 (unchanged)
