High-strung workaholic David Starsky (Ben Stiller) and laid-back ladies' man Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (Owen Wilson) are detectives who patrol the crime-ridden streets of Bay City, Calif. When the murdered body of a drug dealer is found on a local beach, Starsky and Hutch follow the clues to repeat offender Reese Feldman (Vince Vaughn). But time and again the mismatched cops fail to apprehend the shifty Feldman, while under their noses he goes about planning his biggest trafficking operation yet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Audience score should be way higher. Great script helped along by an all star cast. What homages should all be like.

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.
