Starsky & Hutch Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson dish on their comedic chemistry...
...their new film, a campy remake of the campy '70s cop show Starsky & Hutch, Stiller and Wilson play their set roles broadly. They sat down with TIME for a chat about the film, the pressures of being a comedy duo and hitting on women. The suitable-for-a-family-magazine parts appear below...
Starsky is fastidious to the point of compulsion and deeply paranoid. Hutch is so laid-back he's almost comatose, cool as a penguin holidaying on ice. In life they would be a screeching misalliance. In a more or less comic movie they are a match made in heaven. And it must be said that tense, tidy Ben Stiller and loose, louche Owen Wilson are perfectly cast in this movie version of the old TV series...
...must also be said that Starsky & Hutch has moments of hilarity a little greater than you might expect of a movie that is just out for a lazy good time. There is, for example, Starsky's visit to his mother's grave. She was a cop too, and he solemnly leaves a doughnut on her headstone as a tribute to a police legend now on her final, eternal stakeout. There's a nice locker-room bit where, after a shower, the men grab hand towels instead of bath towels to cover their butts. And you don't want to know...
