    Editorial Reviews

    Expanding on their Saturday Night Live characters, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star as Jake and Elwood Blues, two white boys with black soul. Sporting cool shades and look-alike suits, Jake and Elwood are dispatched on a "mission from God" by their former teacher, Sister Mary Stigmata (Kathleen Freeman). Said mission is to raise $5000 to save an orphanage. In the course of their zany adventures, the Blues Brothers run afoul of neo-Nazi Henry Gibson, perform the theme from Rawhide before the most unruly bar crowd in written history, and lay waste to hundreds of cars on the streets and freeways of Chicago. In case you aren't swept up in the infectuous nuttiness of the brothers Blue, you might have fun spotting film's legion of guest stars, including James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Steve Lawrence, Twiggy, Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman), Frank Oz, and Steven Spielberg.

    "On a Mission from God"by Anonymous

    August 07, 2006: Who can forget the riffs, the laughs, and the goof-ups of those cool men in dark shades and questionable suits known as the Blues Brothers? On a mission, legitimate or illicit, to finance money for Sister Mary Stigmata, they are "on a mission from God." So, as heroes depart, must put the band back together and, of course, destroy a couple of police cars and supermarkets in the process. John Belushi, may you rest in peace.
