Critic Reviews:
- " The Blues Brothers is the year's best film to date; one of the,
all-time great comedies; the best movie ever made in Chicago. All are true, and,
boy, is that ever a surprise. " – Gene Siskel
- " The Blues Brothers is unlike anything you've ever seen before, at once
touching and far-far out – and most of all, best of all, it is hugely
entertaining. " – Joe Baltake
- " With a simple narrative based around the- brothers trying to put
together a band and raising money for the orphanage that moulded them with
numerous complications along the way there are plenty of chances for viewers to
be entertained. " – Dave Sargent
