Blues Brothers 2000

(Universal)

Unlike 1980's unfunny The Blues Brothers, Blues Brothers 2000 is a musical comedy that actually works. Dan Aykroyd is back in good, thinned-down form as Elwood Blues; John Goodman, outsinging Aykroyd, replaces John Belushi. But the film really cooks when its great blues and soul performers are on screen: B.B. King, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, the late Junior Wells, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Jimmy Vaughan, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, James Brown, Bo Diddley, Sam Moore, and more.
