Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) ***

A sequel to the 1980 hit about a band of car-wrecking musicians. The film really comes to life during its fabulous musical numbers, featuring the very best of blues, soul, r&b and bluegrass. The non-musical segments suck, but they are few and far between. Great cameos from James Brown, Aretha Franklin, BB King and others.
