Movie Reviews of Doctor Detroit
Movie Review: Nothing can stop the DOCTOR
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so ridiculous you gotta love it..... or hate it. Those are the two responses I encounter, loving it being my own. I know of no lukewarm reactions to this movie from those I know who've seen it.
This movie is produced and directed by the same person who directed the original Blues Brothers movie. I take this flick as a series of loosely strung together comedy skits. The plot is corny but its the perfect framework to hang a collection of verbal and visual puns, anecdotes and poking fun at stereotypes.
In this way it is very much the same formula used in the BB movie
The scene where Akroyd impersonates a southern lawyer, complete with a colonel sanders looking outfit he just bought from an attorney in the same courthouse is for me a laugh riot.
The movie was filmed in Chicago and as a native that appealed to me. Lots of visual and dialogue references to the locale.
I can't imagine I'm alone in appreciating this movie...... it's been recently reissued after being unavailable for a number of years........
