Doctor Detroit is Dan Aykroyd's first big solo vehicle, and it has some traditional Motown problems: It sputters and wheezes and lurches, never does run smoothly, never does satisfy.

Aykroyd fills the film with a ton of manic energy and there’s some great songs including a DEVO opener and a James Brown dance number. I just wish more of the absurd goofball humor was actually funny.
