Movie Reviews of Doctor Detroit
Movie Review: Doctor Detroit
Summary: 4 Stars
Classic Dan Aykroyd film from the 80's. I love the 80's films. Dan plays a pimp in the film. Hella funny.Movie Review: IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS I REMEMBERED!!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
My family got cable tv in the early 80's, and I remember, as a kid, watching Dr. Detroit several times and liking it a lot. I even taped it so that I could watch it when cable stopped showing it as much. Well, flash forward over twenty years later and I just watched it again and, for whatever reason, the movie just didn't do it for me. I chuckled a few times at some of the situations, but no out loud laughs. The "Dr. Detroit" persona seemed more stupid than funny. The "Mom" character that I remembered as so funny...wasn't. Obviously, this movie is just not as good as I remembered. The only memory of the film that I had that DOES still hold up is Donna Dixon: she IS as unbelievably gorgeous as I thought. But since there's no Donna Dixon nudity here, I can't find any reason to recommend it.Movie Review: I actually liked this?
Summary: 2 Stars
I remember loving this movie when it came out. Just watched the DVD after not seeing it in 20 some odd years. What was I thinking? I actually liked this? It has it moments but unless you just want really bad 80's flashbacks...don't bother.Movie Review: Dan Akroyd
Summary: 2 Stars
Dan Akroyd, always a great actor. I would say this was still a good movie I enjoyed it.Movie Review: "Xanadu" is reviled and not this pablum?!
Summary: 1 Stars
Dan Akroyd = comic genius, everybody knows that.
Trouble is, this is a typical early-80s waste-fest.
Witness:
* Walking mannequins with gross amounts of make-up
* every other word is profane and is supposed to pass as humor
* A vague and inane plot regarding a sleazy situation
* delving into stereotypes to drive purportedly funny scenes (they're not)
* anti-nerd (Akroyd's character)
Typical of the time and, trust me, that's not saying much.
I had sat through the first 30 minutes, and my attention quickly wandered as the proceedings continued.
Want good Akroyd? Find "Ghostbusters". Dr Detroit is a malpractice case. Want a movie Akroyd should have been in?
