7.9 / 10

After the release of Jake Blues from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit "The Penguin", the last of the nuns who raised them in a boarding school. They learn the Archdiocese will stop supporting the school and will sell the place to the Education Authority. The only way to keep the place open is if the $5000 tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The Blues Brothers want to help, and decide to put their blues band back together and raise the money by staging a big gig. As they set off on their "mission from God" they seem to make more enemies along the way. Will they manage to come up with the money in time?

They should have had Chuck Berry n this movie, I could definitely c him playing a character n this movie, he was the forefather, godfather and n my opinion the real king of rock and roll anybody disagrees speak now or forever hold your peace - @Saturday, May 12, 2018 8:46 PM

They should do a reboot of Blues Brothers. Jonah Hill as John Belushi and Miles Teller as Dan Aykroyd I can totally see Jonah playing a blues brother with sunglasses and hat. - @Sunday, August 28, 2016 11:12 PM

@Juliaflo I mean, think about it. The Blues Brothers has: - action - adventure - romance - music - comedy - car chases What other movie that you can name so perfectly blends all those categories and is STILL really good? - @Friday, January 6, 2012 1:36 AM

In loving memory of: Alan Rubin, Charles Napier, Cab Calloway, John Candy, Jeff Morris, Carolyn Franklin, and of course, John Adam Belushi. - @Wednesday, January 4, 2012 6:31 PM

@AManWithABigUsername I totally second that. This coming March 5 will mark 30 years since the talented John Adam Belushi left this world for a better place. John Adam Belushi: 1949-1982-- Gone but not forgotten. - @Wednesday, January 4, 2012 6:30 PM
