Say what you will about the comedic talents of Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler or Mike Myers but they share something in common in terms of making their name on comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live. As a result, Jake and Elwood go on a mission to re-form their old blues band and raise the money required. They soon find out that the orphanage is to be shut down due to lack of funds. When "Joliet" Jake Blues (John Belushi) is released from prison, he and his brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) pay a visit to the old Catholic home where they grew up. Without a shadow of a doubt, The Blues Brothers is (still) that kind of film. That said, sometimes the film is just so much fun and so enjoyable that you know why you hold it in such high regard in the first place. There's likely to be a tinge of nostalgia or reminiscence, making it difficult to judge it objectively. It's always a tricky one when you revisit a film that was a big part of your adolescence and in some ways responsible for laying the groundwork on your love of movies.
