Review by
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
If it's wild, frantic energy that
fuels adolescence, then The Blues Brothers is a
summer entertainment par excellence for the young at heart.
It is packed with lively music, fantastic chase sequences,
and nonstop slapstick comedy. Everything in the movie is
taken to the limit, which ought to please just about
everyone who gets high on unbridled vim and vigor.
