April Foolishness:The Blues Brothers

Yup this is my first time seeing this comedy classic ....In full.Like 10 years ago I attempted to watch the movie but was busy so I didnt get to finish ,but I saw it a few days ago

This 1980 film follows brothers Jake (John Belushi ) and Elwood (Dan Akroyd) on a mission to reunite their band to raise money to save the orphanage they grew up in

....This film is a blast.Its honestly facinating cause the film is less about plot and character....And more about sheer chaos and mayhem and good tunes which is fine with me ,cause my favorite type of comedy tends to be "How bad/insane can this situation get" type humor and while I'm not an expert on blues,I love good music and am a firm beliver of the power of music

Lets talk about music first cause the film is kind of a musical ,full of classic songs performed by not only the titular characters but also legendary musicians like Aretha Franklin,James Brown ,Ray Charles and Cab Calloway .Now Akroyd and Belushi are no slouches ,they sing some good tunes,with the concert at the end being great and showing their musical talent ,like I buy them as a musical act ....But I gotta tip my hat to the old pros,and while Ray Charles singing Shake ATail Feather is the most fun song .....Words cannot express the joy I felt seeing a 74 year old Cab Calloway perform Minnie the Moocher ,it is just such a magical moment to me

The humor is great,the brothers are very chill,not much seems to phase them ....And yet they cause chaos everywhere they go .By the end of the movie they are being chased by cops,cowboys,NAZIS and a heavilly armed Carrie Fisher (The reveal of why shes chasing them made me laugh and Fisher is so good in this movie )

I cant even get into the cast ,as the film is peppered with great character actors and cameos ,the funniest being the last cameo ,which is up there with ORSON WELLES in the Muppet Movie as one of the best cameos I have ever seen

Belushi and Akroyd are the glue of the movie,they legit work as not just a duo but almost mythic figures ,right down to having a holly mission .Without the oddness of these two the film wouldnt work

This movie is one of a kind and is just a hoot .Ive seen many peo-ple say its their favorite movie....I finally get it and you can call me a Blues Brothers fan
