John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd bring their iconic Saturday Night Live characters to the big screen in John Landis’ The Blues Brothers, a turbo-charged and music-infused, eminently quotable and chaotically outrageous comedic adventure following the boys on a mission from God to raise money and save an orphanage.
“There’s never been anything that looked quite like [The Blues Brothers]. But director John Landis has somehow pulled it together, with a good deal of help from the strongly defined personalities of the title characters. Belushi and Aykroyd come over as hard-boiled city guys, total cynics with a world-view of sublime simplicity, and that all fits perfectly with the movie’s other parts.” – Roger Ebert
