I became obsessed with this movie after seeing the trailer. The premise is so strange and should have never been green lit by a studio. But thank God it was. Opening shot is Dan Ackroyd power walking set to Devo and I immediately had a smile on my face. Then he finally becomes the titular character and does that insane voice for no reason and I couldn’t get enough. One thing I’ve noticed when I revisit 80’s comedies is how sparse they are on actual jokes. So many of them are just lighthearted hangout movies. Doctor Detroit has a bit of that but definitely made me laugh out loud a few times. It should’ve had more of the Doctor but made for a solid Friday night flick.

I’m not a fan of the auteur Donald Farmer as you can tell.

Honorable mention to Honorable Men.
