Critic Reviews

The sequel offers more of the same, only less.

-Joe LeydonFull Review

Once upon a time, it was funny.

-Rick GroenFull Review

Once the new sequel gets past its cumbersome plotting and gets down to its music, it overrides the temptation to suggest buying the soundtrack recording and forgetting the rest.

-Lawrence Van GelderFull Review

'I always thought there was another story to be told,' Landis says in the film's notes. Fine; then tell one.

-Roger EbertFull Review

It's a pity the film doesn't respect the art of acting as much as that of music.

-Bruce Westbrook

It makes an audience pay for every two seconds of pleasure with 10 seconds of pain.

-Mick LaSalleFull Review

Blues Brothers 2000 isn't anywhere close to the landmark its predecessor was, but it's still enjoyable.

-James BerardinelliFull Review

It goes without saying that Blues Brothers 2000 doesn't carry the original's significance and R-rated personality, yet select treats remain, while the soundtrack wails triumphantly.

-Brian OrndorfFull Review

Endless scenes of pointless buffoonery and crashing cars.

-Sandra ContrerasFull Review

There must be a niche audience for this travesty -- probably among teenagers whose hearing and mental faculties are impaired.

-Full Review

This isn't a sequel, it's a remake.

-Full Review

Another time, another planet.

-Cole Smithey

Buy the soundtrack and rent the one with Belushi.

-Tom MeekFull Review

Easily one of the most worthless, shameless, and unnecessary sequels ever concocted. Not even the music can save it.

-Scott Weinberg

Landis apparently lost almost any trace of inspiration or creativity.

-Dragan Antulov

The greatest car crash ever, but not a funny movie.

-Fred Topel

Not bad. Too bad it's not good, either.

-Alex Sandell

Virtually worthless without the music. But the music's so good, it doesn't matter.

-John R. McEwenFull Review

Like the original, it's a rambling wreck of a movie that's more fun than it deserves to be.

-Margaret A. McGurkFull Review

Blues Brothers 2000 is a modern shocker: a musical-comedy that actually works.

-Ted DrozdowskiFull Review

A ragtag comedy that makes it clear that God works in mysterious ways.

-Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatFull Review

It would take divine intervention to breathe freshness into Blues Brothers 2000.

-Ed KelleherFull Review

There's a lot of music in Blues Brothers 2000, and it's great stuff.

-Jack GarnerFull Review

The main problem is the absence of a similar focus on the music, replaced by a more cynical attempt to re-create the past.

-Scott RenshawFull Review

Belushi is rolling in his grave, can't you feel it?

-Christopher NullFull Review

If simply copying the original Blues Brothers wasn't bad enough, writers Aykroyd and John Landis dumb it down, removing any memorable characters, and replacing them with flashy, but unbelievable, magical gimmicks.
