Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)

Cast: Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues), John Goodman (Mighty Mack McTeer), J. Evan Bonifant (Buster Blues)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Blues Brothers 2000 page.

I think that this movies comes down to the fact that John Belushi (who starred in the original movie The Blues Brothers with Dan Akroyd) is impossible to replace. The chemistry John Belushi and Dan Akroyd shared in The Blues Brothers wasn't repeated in Blues Brothers 2000.

Perhaps we should have known to be wary when a movie with 2000 in the title was released in 1998. It made no sense, but I rushed out to see Blues Brothers 2000 anyway. I love the original. It's a cult classic. The new movie is anything but a classic.

If you want to relive the experience of The Blues Brothers, buy the DVD or rent it from Netflix. It's wonderful and well worth another look no matter how many times you've seen it. Stay away from Blues Brothers 2000.
