They're the man.

Detective David Starsky (Ben Stiller) is the most dedicated undercover cop working the mean streets of Bay City, California USA. Maniacally devoted to his job, when he's on duty no crime goes unpunished - and he's always on duty.

Detective Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (Owen Wilson) is having career issues - he's a good cop, but his hazardously laid back personality and desire for a quick buck don't always get the job done. He has excellent instincts, he just needs a little bit of focus to keep him on the admittedly less profitable side of the law. Exasperated Bay City Police Captain Dobey (Fred Williamson) has found the perfect solution for two of his biggest problems: pair up Starsky and Hutch and put them out on the streets.

As soon as the two mismatched crime fighters unhappily begin their first day on the beat as a team, a "floater" turns up on the Bay City coastline. With the help of Hutch's dynamite, street-savvy informant Huggy Bear (Snoop Dogg), the two begin to unravel the mysterious murder case.

Theatrical report

Starsky & Hutch is fun to watch and you don't even have to remember the original TV show. In fact, you don't even have to remember the 70s, but who does?

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are a funny comedy duo in that straight-laced vs loose-cannon kind of police pairing that seems to be a standard operating procedure. Watch with popcorn and Choc Top.
