Overview

Dan Aykroyd must have practiced for months to perfect his Jack Webb inflections for Dragnet. Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz's directorial debut also written by Mankiewicz, along with Aykroyd, and Alan Zweibel is a gentle spoof of the legendary '50s television police drama -- pitting '50s conservatism smack up against the attitudes of the '80s. Basically, the film is another 48 Hours or Beverly Hills Cop clone. Aykroyd stars as Joe Friday, the nephew of the original Friday. But with his brown suit, fedora, and lockjaw, he could just as well be the incarnation of Jack Webb. He is involuntarily assigned a smart alecky, street-wise partner, Pep Streebeck Tom Hanks, and they are charged to investigate a series of religious cult

Overview

Dan Aykroyd must have practiced for months to perfect his Jack Webb inflections for Dragnet. Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz's directorial debut also written by Mankiewicz, along with Aykroyd, and Alan Zweibel is a gentle spoof of the legendary '50s television police drama -- pitting '50s conservatism smack up against the attitudes of the '80s. Basically, the film is another 48 Hours or Beverly Hills Cop clone. Aykroyd stars as Joe Friday, the nephew of the original Friday. But with his brown suit, fedora, and lockjaw, he could just as well be the incarnation of Jack Webb. He is involuntarily assigned a smart alecky, street-wise partner, Pep Streebeck Tom Hanks, and they are charged to investigate a series of religious cult murders in L.A. The two cops follow the trail to a phony televangelist, the Reverend Jonathan Whirley Christopher Plummer. From there, they are only at step away from uncovering an Orange County-based religious cult calling itself P.A.G.A.N. People Against Goodness and Normalcy. After sneaking into a secret ceremony, Friday falls in love with the sacrificial victim Connie Swail Alexandra Paul. So much so that even after his superior Captain Gannon Harry Morgan, reprising his role from the '60s revival of the Dragnet program orders him off the case, Friday continues on, with the requisite car chases and crashes that usually climax any '80s cop movie or comedy.

    Great Comedy with Hanks and Aykroyd

    Definitely not a 48 hours or BHC clone (of course, if you take the time to watch the movie, this should be clear). This is a great comedy focusing on the 'odd couple' relationship between Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd. There are plenty of one liners. The action is well done, but a lot of it is spoofing movies like 48 hours. It also provides interesting commentary on how society perceives alternative religions (when the movie was released and even today). For anyone familiar with the original Dragnet series, it is pretty funny parody with some good comedy (both physical and spoken) with some light action thrown in.
