Dan Aykroyd is excellent and Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks, meaning incredibly enjoyable to watch. Some of the dialogue is just perfect, like the line about We Are the World.

This movie hasn't aged well at all. It has every 80s cop comedy cliche you could cram into it coupled with a bland, predictable story and a lot of jokes that fall flat. Not totally a waste of time, but not very funny either.

Dan Aykroyd raps

A horrible attempt to update what to me at least was a horrible TV show. Sadly, Aykroyd is perfectly cast

Comic rendition of a classic cop show. It works.

Aykroid and Hanks playing their favourite and defining characters from the 80s, namely deadpan fast-talker and juvenile charmball respectively. Their rapport is funny enough, but the story is simply too silly to warrant a view.

The idea of parodying the original "Dragnet" and other serious, older crime shows was brilliant. Even better, Aykroyd and Hanks were at the top of their comedic powers during the late 80s, and they make for one of the best straight/funny man duos I have ever seen. The story and jokes themselves are just moderately above average, but their performances elevate them to comic gems. A terrific, excellent comedy.

An average 1980s comedy featuring a surprisingly good pairing of Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks. And yes, at the time, you too probably thought the bigger star of the movie was Dan Aykroyd.

Never seen the TV show but have always enjoyed this late-80's pastiche. It’s a fun, funny ride with great leads (I still reckon Tom Hanks was at his best in these early comedic roles) and a plot that keeps things moving throughout. Christopher Plummer hams it up a treat as the baddie too. It's very 'of its era' – which can be both praise and condemnation – but for me that extra nostalgia factor just adds to its charm.

Loses points and a recommendation for a lame second act......
