When I heard they were making a Starsky & Hutch movie, I was really looking forward to it, as I had been a big fan of the television series while growing up in the seventies. In the late 80s I even owned a 76 Torino as a daily driver (but not with the paint job). I started to watch the movie but had to turn it off after a short while. I was expecting a gritty crime drama with maybe a lighthearted moment or two, but this movie is just straight up slapstick comedy. The characters as written really do not represent the spirit of the original series, which was a police drama, not a comedy. Stiller and Wilson make a great comedy team, but this was the wrong movie for them, and the script was the wrong one for this movie.
