What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's uneven and occasionally somewhat aimless, but Starsky & Hutch benefits from Stiller and Wilson's chemistry and a surprisingly warm-hearted script.

Stiller and Wilson are still hilarious as the supercool detectives–there hasn't been a comedy duo this good since John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Go to Full Review David Ansen Newsweek 03/13/2018
Snoop Dogg, as a superfly snitch, and Vince Vaughn, as a drug lord, are wasted in obvious supporting roles. It's harmless fun--and too lazy to be more. Go to Full Review Antonia Quirke London Evening Standard 12/20/2017
At a time when the Hollywood studios seem locked in a competition to see who can make and distribute the most witless spoofs, pastiches and tributes, along comes one that is genuinely funny. Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 09/19/2022

Amiable enough, and there are a couple of genuinely hilarious moments. But guys as smart and witty as Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are just wasting themselves on ’70s TV nostalgia. Go to Full Review Glenn McConnell The Post NZ 10/15/2021

R B @RT04347138 Jul 9 Ben Stiller puts in a great performance, but his co-star thinks the film is titled Starsky and Wilson and the whole thing is a pretty soggy cardigan. See more Stoner J. @Stoner May 24 Pretty hysterical throughout and underrated. See more alan G @agenser May 2 Pot head Poop Dog stupid "actors", Ben Stillborn and Owen washedup are a trifecta of bad actors and a bad plot. None can act. Anyone thinks this movie is funny needs to be on heavy duty antipsychotics. How did this piece of shit get greenlit? See more Stephen C @bob25009 Apr 7 The worldwide gross is $170,268,750.00 over a budget of $60,000,000.00. See more Philip H @ScottyH168 Oct 5 Audience score should be way higher. Great script helped along by an all star cast. What homages should all be like. See more Olivia J @RT02808372 Oct 2 Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller work well together. They always work well together. So, if you're a fan of the two, it's worth seeing. See more Read all reviews
