Disadvantages: none

This is a fantastic film...it
combines musical genius with comedy.

It tells the story of Jake and
Elwood Blues and their struggle
to reform their blues band. Along
the way, people try and kill them and
they get into all kinds of mischief. They
have to raise money to keep their
childhood orphanage open. Their on a
mission from God and they do it in style.
Eventually they ghet the members back together and the perform their gig. I
won't give the end of the film away but
it involves over $500,000 worth of
damage and breaking about 96 highway
code rules.

I never really knew how talented Dan
Akroyd was until I found out that he
co-wrote it.

It was such a shame that John Belushi
passed away in 1983 because he was such
a fantastic actor and singer.

You can tell throughout the film that everyone in the film really loved what
they were doing and I think this
reflects in the film.

The film contains some of the best
loved ators around: Dan Akroyd, John Belushi, and the late John Candy...as
well as some blues legends; James
Brown, Aretha Franklin are just a
couple amongst the fantastic.

The film also contains some of the
best music ever written and performed.
Such titles include:
Minnie the moocher,
The peter gunn theme,
she caught the katy,
Everybody needs somebody,
and shake ya tailfeathers!

these are just a few songs which
complete this hilarious comedy...

this is great film and should be viewed
by any conscious creature on the planet!
Go see it now!

Any comments would be appreciated!
Thankyou and goodnight!
