I've seen this about a billion times, but surprisingly, I'm not sick of it. I'm still immensely entertained by it. The song and dance routines are really exciting and dynamic, and the car chases are simply the best ever. You don't see gleeful pandemonium like this in movies anymore, and if you did it would probably be all computer-generated. This is also one of the best Chicago movies, and undoubtedly the best movie to ever be spawned by Saturday Night Live. Loads of fun.
8	Paxton	75 _78%
Plays like all great heist films, assembling the band instead of a crew and orchestrating a concert instead of pulling off a robbery. The more I think about it the less I like Ocean's Eleven twenty years later. But the original Ocean's Eleven was twenty years earlier than The Blues Brothers. Now I don't know what to like less.

Goddamn this film is a lot of fun. The cast, the cameos, the chaos, the music. It really shouldn't work, but it comes together beautifully. It has a fairly unique charm. Gets bonus points for having those credits at the end where they show the folk. Full disclosure: I have a T-shirt that says "Orange Whip", with a picture of John Candy. Highly recommended.

Great music! Epic Car Chase! Good Story! Non stop entrainment!
4	Johnny6Gun	95 _99%
Only reason this gets 95 instead of 100 is that some of the cut scenes belong in the theatrical version and some of the scenes in the extended version should have stayed on the floor. This is the kindest gift to all styles of American music that I've ever seen, filled with legendary icons of song. The slimy antics of Belushi and Aykroyd, the amusing disregard for ignorant asses and the outlandish antics in this musical comedy can hardly be contained. The Blues Brothers is a treasured classic.
4	BeeDub	85 _63%
Uneven and overlong (the screenplay is a mess), but undeniably great music and fun performances from the leads.
4	TimeCapsule	92 _95%
John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star as the infamous Blues Brothers in this comedy classic. All-time great musicians are featured through-out in this celebration of music captured on film. Throw in possibly the greatest cinematic car chase ever, and you have a purely entertaining movie.
4	lrampartl	92 _95%
Let's see: Best car chase ever. Bluesmobile. On a mission from God. Rawhide. Carrie Fisher with a bazooka. Yup, just checking - it's freaking awesome.
3	lachapelle	100 _99%
This is my all time favorite movie. From campy schtick to great cameos. Cool music and a strong plot drive this fantastic movie. "It's 106 miles to Chicago, We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses." - "Hit it!"
3	xacviant	95 _98%
One of the most purely entertaining films of all time. A celebration of music, fittingly packed with great songs. A joyous comedy, with some of the best comedy scenes in cinema. A great thriller, with arguably the greatest car chase in film history. THE BLUES BROTHERS is all of these things and more, and it all fits together beautifully. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are at their best here; so is nearly everyone else. Scattered moments don't quite work, but they're washed away in a tide of joy.
3	Corbad	85 _90%
Understated comedy is joined to caricature and absurdity in a unique and totally entertaining sprawl of a picture. The endless accruing of enemies, the heroes' casual acceptance of comically exaggerated attempts on their lives, the superb car chases, regular rhythm & blues dance numbers . . . it all somehow works, wonderfully, together. Lots of fun.
3	Vandelay1	71 _78%
Good Movie
3	Pickpocket	9 _93%
A hilarious, fast paced, over the top, fun, good time. If you don't like this something is seriously wrong with you. Great soundtrack, two great car chases, and enough great cameos to satisfy anyone. A classic.
3	DavidBlast	35 _20%
More of a sing-along marathon than an actual movie. 'The Blues Brothers' offers good music and an impressive range of cameos, but virtually nothing in terms of story or actual entertainment, except, perhaps, for the ending, which is as delightfully over the top as it is pointless.
3	Dorkovsky	9 _96%
Films don't really get more fun than this.
3	Quintonjamin	80 _79%
It shows you something absurd and then somehow keeps topping itself, especially in the car chase scenes. It's able to work because it's so unique. The cameos, music, and just plain ridiculousness somehow come together to be something that's a lot of fun.
3	AgentSnipe	93 _98%
A comedy trip that goes anywhere and everywhere in the mythical adventures of Jake and Elwood Blues. Straightfaced lunacy is the name of the game in a film full of great music and great car chases.
2	Anomaly	84 _83%
Funny over-the-top comedy. A bit too uneven at times, but quotable and the final action scene is seriously great.
2	Mentaculus	87 _85%
"When I woke up this morning, [applause! cheers], I heard a disturbing sound! [clapping intensifies]! I SAID: when I woke up this morning, [hallelujah, reverend! Praise be to God!], I HEARD a disturbing sound! The jingle jangle, of a thousand lost souls! AAAAMENNNNN!" Hits me with the power of laughter every time as if it was divinely inspired to do so. Perhaps they were on a mission from God.
2	Gim	85 _67%
I admire the amount of cars that were destroyed in this movie. Awe-inspiring.
2	Ryan Lueders (ReelRyan)	95 _94%
Talk about a film that won't give you the blues! This movie was hilarious. This was my first time seeing this film and I must say, what have I been doing these last 30+ years? Dan Aykroyd not only did some fine acting but did some great writing for this movie. John Belushi was also awesome as Aykroyd's brother Jake. I nearly busted a gut laughing in this, especially in the many amazing chase/crash scenes with the cops, Nazi's and angry people from Nashville... [Full Review]
2	Leonardis	92 _72%
Pretty damn funny, The Blues Brothers is funny and full of catchy tunes. I appreciated the car-chase scenes.
2	Ununnilium	88 _89%
This movie just really enjoys everything it's about. Big explosions! Car chases! Jazz and blues and the culture and lives of the people who created it! A lot of spectacle-based movies end up being oddly dispassionate about it, asking you to turn your brain off in a way that makes it difficult to truly engage with what's going on. The Blues Brothers, by contrast, gives you a river of things to enjoy, that you can't help but get swept up in.
2	KasperL	70 _65%
I was balancing between being unimpressed and having an okay time through most of this and the entertaining finale sort of won me over.
2	SirStuckey	85 _87%
There are three movies that I will quote with my dad consistently. The Blues Brothers is one of them.
2	gorejunky	100 _92%
Funny, great music and wonderful action make this one of the most perfect comedies ever. Belushi and Ackroyd have amazing comedic chemistry and some awesome musical talent. I didn't want this movie to end! Very highly recommended!
2	bbkd3b	92 _95%
One of my very favorite comedies, and a classic at that, Blues Brothers brought my favorite performances from both Belushi and Danny boy. The music is catchy as hell, the plot is hillarious, and the car chases are some of the best ever filmed. Heck, I even like the backing band in this movie. Jake! Elwood! The Blues Brothers! Yeah... seriously, Carrie Fischer even makes you laugh with her homicidal madness. Loved it.
2	luc	85 _94%
Beautiful musical with great songs. Ray charles, Aretha Franklin and James Brown were excellent in this great comedy movie. Nice movie for Christmas.

I hate Illinois Nazis ...
2	hotsake	65 _61%
I finally sat down and watched this movie. This is one of those movies that's a prefect example of guilty pleasure or so bad it's good.
2	SirRobbie	70 _53%
After giving it another shot I admit, I was wrong about the Blues Brothers. Great fun and even better music. The number of car stunts, explosions (those made by Princess Leia) were staggering !!! Landis knows how to pull off a high budget comedy.
2	Bojangles	45 _29%
The reverence for early R&B is appreciated, but there's too many throwaway gags I think.
2	vv238	78 _82%
A very funny movie when it wants to be. It combines two of my favorite stars of the era and blues music. Its plot does rely far too heavily on chase scenes which are at first funny because of their excess but the joke wears thin after the first one.
2	PeaceAnarchy	79 _57%
It'd be really easy to rip on this film for a ridiculous storyline and inconsistent pacing, but somehow it just works. The chase scenes are over the top but fun, the music is infectious and there's just something about Jake and Elwood that makes them fun to root for.
2	CloseFriend	100 _99%
This movie explains everything about why I became a musician.
2	Groovy_Souls	85 _82%
A high point in comedy. Aykroyd and Belushi do awesome jobs and deliver subtle yet awesome comedy mixed with extravagant and over the top visual humor. The whole movie is great itself, with great music and nice direction and choreography. It's really worthwhile comedy.
2	wayofthegun	70 _41%
It feels more like a series of vignettes more than a consistent movie, but there are some fun musical numbers and stunts despite the running time feeling about 30 minutes too long.
2	TheDiceman	80 _95%
A cult classic and a personal favourite of mine with many many fond memories.
2	Moribunny	65 _65%
None of the songs are original, but if James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles do anything for you, and if Cab Calloway is as much your idol as he is mine, then by god, they're all here! Unearthing Mancini's Theme from Peter Gunn is itself an achievement. You'll appreciate this even more if you're a musician. Ayk and Belushi are fun but they're not really enough to go on, and the stupid action scenes just ruin it for the music.
2	Vince Leo (Qwipster's Movie Reviews)	80 _86%
Easily one of the most entertaining films of its era, The Blues Brothers is a time capsule worthy collection, not only in irreverent comedy, but also in its reverence for some of the best music of the 1960s and 70s. [Full Review]
2	Nathan S	2 _21%
I was expecting to like this, but it's way too long and only funny occasionally.
2	VengefulKBM	95 _97%
One of the all-time great comedies, with some absolutely KILLER music. The Blues Brothers is a classic for the ages.
2	kito1	70 _73%
Massively enjoyable, cool but not too serious. A rightful classic. Sit back and jam along.
1	memozuma	95 _81%
what can i say for this excellent movie. perfect. belushi and akroyd are outstanding. musicians are great. scenario.. who cares?

Yeah I loved this
1	oxbaker	87 _90%
Rock and roll.
1	billkerwin	82 _52%
Amusing, great music, but over-long.
1	QuickyAPI	67 _56%
Once you get passed the idea that a movie is supposed to make sense, and once you let your body go with the flow of the music, this is a very entertaining movie. I loved the music, and I loved the action. Though to be frank, it did take about an hour, before I had gotten used to the kind of ridiculousness I was watching.
1	bratings	89 _74%
The Blues Brothers is a riotous comedic gem that benefits from its over-the-top style and soulful musical numbers.
1	antrock101	70 _53%
classic that shows its age
1	PetrosTser	80 _86%
An enormously funny action comedy featuring some of the greatest car chases ever, amazing performances by the two leads (John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd), unbelievable guest stars including Aretha Franklin, Frank Oz and Twiggy, hilarious dialogues, fantastic soundtrack and choreographies, surrealism and a very well-written script.
1	leekenn	79 _62%
Good Lord the car chases in this film are good! Some exceptionally funny scenes round out this film.
1	mwgerb	65 _77%
I think it goes a bit too over the top at times, occasionally crossing over the line from funny to silly, mostly by overdoing great things (see the number of car crashes and musical dance numbers). But the music is fantastic, the car chases are fantastic, the cameos are fantastic, the comedy is fantastic, and the characters are fantastic. Highly exciting and enjoyable film.
1	peyrin	70 _56%
The Not Ready For Prime Time Players were never my favorite SNL bunch so I wasn't expecting this to be a laugh riot or anything but it holds up pretty decently, especially when the last act devolves into nonsensical budget-flexing car chases. Surprisingly breezy too, even with the 2h30m extended cut.
1	Dizzley	88 _98%
Everybody must have had a great time making this. It always cheers me up.
1	ivanstrel	95 _86%
Good to see it classed as a Musical - it has more song/dance numbers than most musicals. It loses 5 points because it's slow in places, and can be difficult to watch if you've seen it 50 times like me.
1	Okkervil	88 _94%
"Fucking awesome" doesn't do it justice.
1	freqflyer	80 _55%
Amusing.
1	Anselmi86	46 _20%
Really overrated. I could not get myself into the comedy or the musical numbers.

I'm not any big fan of blues, but the music is what makes this movie special.

1	fenixdown	87 _95%
Great comedy action film from two masterful comedians, with a great supporting cast. The car chase sequence is one of the highlights.
1	cky4ever	100 _88%
perfectoooo
1	Piglet	77 _85%
Aykroyd and Belushi on top form, groovy music, car chases, you name it, a top top comedy.
1	judicaret	95 _92%
Amazing combination of swing and deadpan! John Belushi fares very well with his singing in a company of musician legends. Recommended especially for grownups, as the plot revolves on getting something back together again (be it a group of friends, or a music style you loved). Somehow I didn't appreciate this film as a teenager, nor did most people I knew who saw it. Now that experience feels like from a different world, even if our tastes mostly haven't changed that drastically.
1	svnhf	62 _39%
First of all, I can see why this has gained a cult following but personally, I just didn't feel it. Maybe I am not just in tune with this particular brand of American comedy, although the sudden appearance of Carrie Fisher carrying grade-A military equipment did get me to chuckle a few times. A lot of it feels ham-handed and inconsistent, though. Before everyone beheads me, I will note that the musical acts were memorable as were the wildly insane chase scenes; especially the final one.

A perfect movie.

1	brandons	87 _84%
Too over the top for its own good, but ultimately rescued by the cast's charm, director John Landis' grace, and several soul-stirring musical numbers.
1	hsncrspywl	88 _84%
Good jokes, great songs, magic cars, and excellent central performances by Belushi and Aykroyd - though the film takes a long long time to really build up into a story, and the car chases lose their luster quickly. It has action on an impressive scale but the musical numbers are much more interesting to watch - though they aren't always as dynamic as they could be. The cast is great and the whole film has a level of excess and fantasy which elevates what could have been a standard storyline.
1	The Pirate	100 _99%
This is the definitive film of my life.
1	NBD Rab	85 _81%
This movie is just pure fun. Utterly ridiculous action, great music, and silly comedy.
1	jlworld	95 _89%
A fun and timeless classic.
1	verne	95 _98%
Genius combination of comedy and music. And James Belushi on mission from God of course.
1	rttntomatoes	86 _67%
Too over the top for its own good, but ultimately rescued by the cast's charm, director John Landis' grace, and several soul-stirring musical numbers.
1	m3tan	80 _93%
It's rare that such an immensely talented ensemble cast collaborates so unselfishly and synergistically to create such a thoroughly enjoyable romp. It's hilarious in parts and features amazing musical performances by some of R&B's most iconic legends.
1	DougieD	90 _81%
The funnest musical road comedy I've seen. Even running at well over two hours it never lets up with the laughs, action and music.
1	pianoo	80 _86%
Excellent!
1	Yiannos	80 _92%
T.B.B is good clean fun packed with big laughs, stellar songs, spectacular car chases and musical cameos that pay genuine tribute to R+B legends. Akroyd and Belushi are lovable dopes who exude effortless cool as T.B.B. They are on a mission from God to save a Catholic orphanage, eluding the authorities, angry nazi's, rednecks and a jilted lover on the road to redemption. Landis creates a thrilling sense of controlled chaos, and it's unusually cinematic and ambitious for a mainstream comedy.
1	hellboy76	70 _79%
Great r&b soundtrack and cast. It's pretty dated but still a lot of fun because it's so god damned goofy.
1	rant1229	60 _90%
My guess is this film is best appreciated by children of the 80's who bring a bit of their own nostalgia to the experience. I also suspect that it works best as a background movie, one put on during household chores and checked in with only periodically during the more exciting moments. Having finally watched it only recently, as an adult, and closely with a critical eye, I'm left with only one lasting impression - Damn that Cab Calloway is a cool cat!
1	Bagger	80 _84%
Probably the best thing to come out of SNL this side of the Lonely Island, if not ever. How can one movie get so many things right?
1	ilumos	90 _87%
Great film. The cast alone makes it worth the watch.
1	Scorpus	88 _88%
Possibly the greatest musical of all time, and certainly the funniest; The Blues Brothers will be remembered for years to come
1	CMonster	88 _87%
Thank heavens John Belushi died so he got to be remembered for this and Animal House because you know if he was still alive he would have gone to rehab, found Jesus, and started making a bunch of mediocre PG schlock only fit for children, retards, or retarded children...like his brother.
1	damil	65 _54%
I think I liked it, but it was a pretty strange film. It had similar elements to other comedies, but the structure was all over the place. I'm not sure if it would be better if it was tightened up, but it probably could've easily lost 30 minutes. I didn't think it was particularly funny, but it was entertaining. I really enjoyed the musical numbers. Having music legends appearing in the film was also really cool.
1	untrustable	85 _78%
Road trip movies featuring the Guiness World Record for biggest movie car crash are like my kryptonite.
1	Alon Reter	35 _23%
Heavy and greasy nostalgia I won't re watch.
1	upachaya	75 _67%
Better the first couple of times I saw it.
1	Insan3	80 _64%
It's no secret that John Belushi is one of the better comedians if you ask me. This movie, however, is rather hit and miss I thought. For one, I thought some of the scenes were unnecessary and the movie just felt far to long to me. There are scenes of comedy gold, though, such as the bar scenes and rather awesome car chase scenes. But, really, not one of my favorite movies.
1	thegreyfox	90 _93%
Like most "road trip" films, you HAVE to make it long enough to feel like it has been an epic "journey", and of course there is filler, but if you can't enjoy the energy, cameo roles, humour, over the top daftness of it all, and just great music, then frankly, I feel a bit sorry for you. The bar scene and the Nun ... just fantastic !
1	lethias	76 _31%
If I lived in the US and A and saw this in the 80's I'd also probably love this movie like everybody else. I don't and I didn't so...
1	sopachuco13	100 _95%
A perfect movie. The Blues Brothers is a movie that I go back an watch a few times every year. Everything about this movie is perfect. The music is something that makes me to my toes and don't asking to. I'm awed by all of the amazing talent that made this film. I wonder if the same kind of film could be made today with the same success. There are so many classic moments in this movie that it should be watched by anyone who is interested in film studies especially because if the comedic timing.
1	sacokhan	95 _87%
So cool!
1	fudgieb	91 _75%
A movie from my childhood. This would have gotten a 95 if they hadn't made a Blues Brothers 2000. It would have gotten a 100 if Blues Brothers 2000 hadn't starred John Goodman.
1	carnageace	82 _65%
Slow beginning gives way to frantic humour. Not the best film ever made but one that'll stick with you.
1	patabongo	94 _97%
Great gags. Great style. And the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. How often can you say that about a comedy film. This is just sheer genius.
1	Big_Mac	92 _98%
They're on a mission from God. Good enough for me.
1	jeg2	90 _98%
Old-fashioned no-holds-barred comedy classic. Best car chase ever. Honors the blues tradition.
1	TedDedon	80 _60%
Classic movie with fantastic actors.
1	Stain	95 _90%
One of the very, very few SNL movies that works. Engagingly nutty, yet has a unique quality that only the real works of art have. And don't you dare think that it's not art just because it features Belushi and Aykroyd and/or because it's funny
1	Bo_Dagger	99 _98%
I wish I could be Elwood Blues.
1	Matthias99	95 _93%
A great, fun movie. Akryod and Belushi play off each other really well, and the cameos are awesome. The soundtrack is great as well.
1	gtrmp	80 _73%
It would be the perfect movie if Jake and Elwood would stop gurning, and would let the movie get on with some fantastic chase scenes and some excellent song-and-dance numbers by people not named Blues.

1	patrickva	99 _98%
Near perfect on so many levels, and an important historical document of great 20th century blues/R&B talent.
1	fyngyrz	10 _96%
Cult classic. If you're made the mistake of "growing up", give this a pass; otherwise, if you still think young and aren't a toe-the-line member of society, this is funny as hell.

The only good SNL spinoff other than Wayne's World.
1	jonquill	92 _90%
How is it that in a movie this funny, this jammed with great music, that they still found room for one of the greatest car chases in movie history. Sweet Jebus this movie is awesome.

Even John Belushi can make a mistake in turning SNL characters into an extremely long and poorly paced film.
1	TheDenizen	80 _84%
A couple of sardonic bluesmen from Chicago are on a mission from God to put together their old band and raise money to save an orphanage. Some really funny comedy, great music, and one of the most insane car chases ever committed to film. Plus, Princess Leia with a machine gun!

John Landis's great accomplishment.

Blues Brothers is one of cinema's greatest adventure musicals ever. Its irreverent plot is perfectly deadpanned making each insane event funnier than the last. Awesome!

Landis, Ackroyd and Belushi at their very best.

A great chase scene but I found the rest of this to be pretty boring and unfunny. I'd imagine if I saw it in the 1980s then I'd have a remarkably different opinion

Hilarious, iconic, and really enjoyable, with superb music throughout.
1	driscarpin	100 _99%
Em honra de Aretha Franklin (1942 -2018). Tudo é motivo para rever a obra-prima do John Landis e, zeus, como amo esse filme! Se fosse para garimpar filmes que moldaram meu caráter The Blues Brothers certamente estariam entre os primeiros, não só pelo seu conteúdo anarquico e musical, mas também por sua qualidade, o timing cômico desse filme é brilhante e as escolhas musicais nem se fala. Além disso, você não sente saudade da época que Illinois nazis eram meramente um alívio cômico
1	mikeparasol	84 _71%
For the music.
1	Dustyd	70 _63%
Uneven but entertaining film that set a benchmark for random 80's zaniness.
1	tonydal	20 _2%
Just really stunk. No plot, no point--and what's Aretha doing in the middle of this mess? Oh yeah--acting like she's acting (or maybe doing an early music video). Another lame script by Aykroyd (I've learned to dread seeing his name on one of these things).
1	Seryxa	25 _43%
Fashionable chase comedy with so many stunts that its cost ran up to 33,000,000 dollars. The public stayed away, though it has gained a cult following since.
1	juicestice	80 _65%
Love this movie, love this music, once again understandably not an award winner.

So entertaining, so energetic, so over-the-top, so much wtf?! moments (Carrie Fisher lol), that it became one of my tops. The music of course is brilliant.

1	Melvin Smif	95 _96%
By far the best movie to come from a SNL skit. I think its my favorite road trip movie as well.
1	pompousass	60 _85%
The sensitivity to cultural discord often results in something quite touching, like the sight of these two white Negroes enclosed in an elevator and showered with a Muzak rendition of "The Girl from Ipanema." Aykroyd and Belushi look well and move well in their anonymous, Mafia-hitman suits and sunglasses, but it is never resolved satisfactorily what we are supposed to make of them as musicians.

Great movie, with a good mood nonsense, perfect cast and special participations of James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and John Lee Hooker. Classic of the decade of 80.

Once you get passed the idea that a movie is supposed to make sense, and once you let your body go with the flow of the music, this is a very entertaining movie. I loved the music, and I loved the action. Though to be frank, it did take about an hour, before I had gotten used to the kind of ridiculousness I was watching.

A cult classic with the best soundtrack on the planet. I think, this is a good example for what a right intention at the right time can do to deliver an immortal film. Some might say acting is not first class or some jokes are not funny. Well, I don't. I consider myself lucky for watching a surreal road film with Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker and Cab Calloway.

Very funny, with a shot of Milwaukee's unfinished freeway bridge, and the music! Oh, the music!

One of my favorites! I love Belushi and Akroyd. Hands down this movie is one of the funniest I've seen. Rocking soundtrack as well.

Classic, but I never really get into this movie. It's okay to watch, but not that good as they say.

As much as it pains me to admit it... This movie is not perfect. For all of its' strengths - A fantastic performance by John Belushi; A clear love for the blues genre in the writing; some of the best choreography you'll ever see; truly outstanding vocal performances; standard destroying stunt work andiIncredibly witty dialogue - there is one weakness: The length. It really does pain me to say it, but this movie is just too damn long. Still one of the best musicals ever, though.

Great fun. This will get you singing, dancing or laughing - perhaps all three. Quick paced and a great feel-good movie.

BEST CHASE SCENE IN ANY MOVIE EVER MADE. In fact, the whole movie is a chase scene, with Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and John Lee Hooker thrown in. Oh yeah...don't forget Murph and The Magictones. Classic.

Love this film. It brings me joy like a small child getting his first bike, or a teenager getting his first...

Your enjoyment will hinge on how much you dig the music, which they make lot of stops for. But really, this is a classic for all the right reasons.

Look i know its supposed to be a classic, but this movie is way too long i only scored it as high as i did, because of a few scenes and the writing (which was stellar) the movie itself just seems to drag.
