Plot: Jake Blues is just out of jail, and teams up with his brother, Elwood on a 'mission from God' to raise funds for the orphanage in which they grew up. The only thing they can do is do what they do best: play music. So they get their old band together, and set out on their way—while getting in a bit of trouble here and there.



Almost as old as I am but this film is so much fun. Zany, funny, off the wall with great music. Watched it once again earlier and it still brought a smile to my face.

I remember it as being great the first time I watched it late one night with my Grandad (possibly after Match of the Day). The last time I think I’d had a few too many drinks and thought it was a bit overblown - but fun. And the car chase was still great :)
