	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It's a surprisingly funny movie, the best of the 1970s recycling jobs (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"The movie's advertising tagline ('Starsky & Hutch - they're the Man') needs to be amended. The film belongs, completely and utterly, to Snoop Dogg."	NEG
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"Even when the material falters, the movie glides along on a sincere love of 70s TV action"	NEU
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"It may not be big or clever but neither are we, which might explain why we laughed so much (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Blessed with sporadic moments of cheeky fun, director pic isn’t painful but seldom advances beyond costumes and hairstyling in terms of creativity."	NEU
United States	Paul Clinton CNN	"Stiller-Wilson chemistry carries movie (...) It will warm your funny bone if given half a chance."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Despite all the knowing winks tipped at the audience, thirtysomethings and fortysomethings might be a bit disappointed at the relative paucity of in-jokes"	NEG
United Kingdom	Alan Jones Radio Times	"By cleverly respecting his source material and skewering some much-loved clichés, co-writer/director Todd Phillips (...) nails this big-screen version (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
