The Blues Brothers
film — USA — 1980

6.5
After some thirty minutes I was already fast asleep, and I had no clue why this is considered to be a good movie. The plot was nowhere close to interesting, characters - uninspired, etc, etc. But then suddenly everything changed. No, I don`t mean to tell you that I found any interest in the storyline. It was the music, performances by celebrities of R&B that made the difference. And the Blues Brothers band also rocked quite hard. Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, John Lee Hooker - now that`s what I call musical entertainment. Once again it`s the soundtrack that saves the day.
