It's hard to ignore the sad and conspicuous absence of the late John Belushi, but this long-delayed sequel to 1980's The Blues Brothers still has Dan Aykroyd--as Chicago bad boy and blues rocker Elwood Blues--to keep the music alive. Once again, Elwood's trying to reunite the original Blues Brothers Band, and this time he's got a strip-joint bartender (John Goodman) and a 10-year-old orphan named Buster (J. Evan Bonifant) joining him at center stage. Believing that Elwood has kidnapped the kid, the cops are hot on his trail as the reunited band hits the road for the Battle of the Bands in Louisiana and the All-Star Blues Jam that ends the movie in a rockin' blaze of glory. It's a shameless clone of the first film, and nobody--especially not Aykroyd or director John Landis--seems to care that the story's not nearly as fun as the music that's used to stretch it out. Of course there's a seemingly endless parade of stunts, including a nonstop pileup of police cars that's hilariously absurd, but what really matters here--indeed, the movie's only saving grace--is the great lineup of legendary blues musicians. Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Junior Wells, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Jonny Lang, Eddie Floyd, and Blues Traveler are among the many special guests assembled for the film, and their stellar presence makes you wonder if the revived Blues Brothers shouldn't remain an obscure opening act. The collector's edition DVD includes production photos, the theatrical trailers, and a behind-the-scenes featurette about the making of the film including interviews with the principal cast. --Jeff Shannon

This is a must see if you enjoyed The Blues Brothers. It follows on in the same madcap way with more excellent music, You will not be disappointed,

Making a sequel of the 1980 megablockbuster "Blues Brothers" after the 1983 death of John Belushi is, at its gentlest, a very bad idea, and at its starchiest, a universe-altering affront bordering on celestial heresy.
The uneven and overall creepy sequel named "Blues Brothers 2000" (which came out in 1998) is--simultaneously--very good and very awful. The ghost of John Belushi floats above the whole affair, and that ain't good. Oddly, the music in the sequel is really, really good, ... Read More

I love this movie, it's funny, the music is great & it has a great cast. The musical talent in this movie is amazing.
This is a real band playing real music, no lip syncing here. If you like The Blues give it a try it's really a good movie.

4 stars for Effort. The best part is the speech that Elwood gives the Band when they want to quit after they run out of gas, etc. LOVE IT! 100 Stars for that speech! Very poignant. & there are alot of other fun scenes in this movie. I think that most Blues Brothers fans will enjoy this movie, but think that the original was Far superior. The worst parts: a phone-sex office scene? An excellent blues band in a strip club? Awful! I mean blues music should be fun and enjoyed, but I also feel that ... Read More

Leave the movie alone! All the reviews I've read so far are beating a dead horse, repeating the same thing over and over! I haven't seen this much repetition since all the reality shows! Believe it or not, despite how everyone thinks this movie is a piece of crap, this is the movie that got me into R&B. I've seen both movies and can honestly say they were both excellently done. The amount of musical talent; Aretha Franklin, Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Sam Moore, B.B. King and the rest ... Read More
