Classic Friday : The Blues Brothers (1980) 9/10

Starring : John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Carrie Fisher
Director : John Landis
Running Time : 126 mins

Jake Blues (Belushi) is let out of prison and, when visiting the orphanage he was brought up in with his brother Elwood (Aykroyd), they discover it’s going to be closed down if the nuns can’t raise $5,000 in the next 11 days! Accepting their "mission from God", the brothers hastily attempt to reform their band to hold a concert in order to raise the money, whilst trying to avoid the police and Jake’s bitter ex (Fisher).

If you haven’t seen this, then you’re probably dead inside. Although not the best comedy ever written, it is definitely one of the silliest! The plot is feeble to say the least, but the set pieces are great and the amount of guest singers they managed to dig up is phenomenal!
