The film is lame comedy surrounded by high energy blues and some pop, rock and country music. And dont leave early After the end credits James Brown does Please, Please, Please. Its as if director John Landis had such good James Brown footage he had to use it, even though there was no room in the main plotline, which mostly involves updates on characters from the original 1.

Sister Mary has another idea He should do a little mentoring for Buster J. Evan Bonifant, a 1. Buster gets his own Blues Brothers uniform, plays some harmonica, and gets Elwood charged with kidnapping but whats he doing in this story Apparently Landis originally conceived the role for Macaulay Culkin.

Hint Bars in the United States do not usually advertise that they are licenced. The 1. Nazi bad guys. This one has a right wing militia group, with a leader whose pep talks are unnecessarily offensive. Ive noticed a disturbing trend recently for lightweight comedies to toss in racist language under the guise of establishing the villains. Vile language doesnt require additional currency. But I stray from the heart of the film, which is good blues music. Just as the 1. 98. Town Green District presents the 17th annual lunchtime summer concert series Blues, Berries and Jam.

Blues Brothers 2000 is a 1998 American musical comedy film that is a sequel to the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, written and produced by John Landis and Dan Aykroyd. Aretha Franklin and Cab Calloway, this one has great musical segments by Aretha R. E. S. P. E. C. T., Eddie Floyd 6. John Popper and Blues Traveler Maybe Im Wrong, Lonnie Brooks and Junior Wells Checkin Up on My Baby, and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band version of Born in Chicago. What is amazing is that the numbers by the guest artists are outnumbered by the Blues Brothers including little Bonifant, who are backed up by a terrific band. There is food for thought in the sight of the late, great Junior Wells playing backup to a couple of comedians. Its not so much that I didnt enjoy their numbers as that, lets face it, with backup like these guys get, Irv Kupcinet and I could be the Blues Brothers.

New Republic that explains how the Blues Brothers destroyed the Windy Citys musical heritage. It opens in a smoky dive on the South Side where the true blues still live, and then sniffs at the North Side clubs where suburbanites pay 8 entry fees to hear tarted up and smoothed down blues. But surely it has always been thus The true blues come from, and flourish in, a milieu of hard times hard emotionally, economically, racially, and not infrequently in lifestyle and substance abuse choices. Move the music to an affluent paying audience, contract the musicians to two shows a night, mix in some soul and R B to lighten the blues heavy load, and thats entertainment. The notion that a professional blues musician can be authentic on demand i. Its like they say in the theater The most important thing is sincerity, and if you can fake that, youve got it made. What the Blues Brothers do is worse than Eigs complaint about the posh blues clubs. They take a musical tradition and dine out on it, throwing scraps to the real pros. If Junior Wells, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, B. B. King and James Brown want to sing in a Hollywood musical, theyve got to be supporting characters for the Blues Brothers. I dont suggest that Aykroyd and Belushi, in the 1. I do suggest that the Blues Brothers schtick has outlived its usefulness. Watching Blues Brothers 2. I found I had lost all interest in the orphanage, orphans, police cars, nuns and mentoring. I wanted more music. Its said that the climactic sequence of BB2.

And really shot in Chicago. Or New Orleans would be OK. Not Toronto. Ive heard Toronto called a lot of things, but not the home of the blues.
