[net.movies] Dr. Detroit

ajk (05/13/83)

Saw Dr. Detroit the other night and you have to be a big fan
of Dan Akoroyd, and Howard Hesseman and/or James Brown to enjoy
it.  There are some pretty funny lines and Akoroyd ( however it is
spelled ) plays all the different parts well, but the movie spends
a lot of time trying to convince you it is legitimate.  During
these long spells, a funnier actor is needed, one who makes you laugh
when you look at him, like Steve Martin or Bill Murray or even Marty Allen.
So be warned, but see it if you are a sick puppy who lives for sex, drugs
and rock and roll, or if you have nothing better to do.....
