Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Disjointed, inaccurate and unsatisfying
The lopsided nature of the book Wired is amplified in the movie version. While the book focused very heavily on Belushi's drug addictions, there were references to his work and other facets of his personality outside of the cocaine-addled, binging monster; there was at least an attempt to provide a rounded portrait of Belushi as a human being (admittedly a weak attempt, but one nonetheless). With Wired the movie, one gets little sense of Belushi as being anything other than an obnoxious celebrity ... Read More
Rating:  - really good movie
I read the book by the same name before watching the movie. The film has some scenes that are word for word from the book, which are basically word for word in which they were said in real life. THere are some things 9in the film that are not in the book, such as the gaurdian angel and Bob Woodward never met Belushi. But overall I liked the film. Chicklis did an incredible Belushi down to the voice and the movement. I'd say if you are a fan of either see it. Other reviews scared me but the movie was ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't waste your time or money
If you are a John Belushi fan or Michael Chiklis fan do yourself a favor... DON'T BUY THIS TAPE! This movie stinks! I am a huge Belushi fan and I like Chiklis in The Shield, but watching this movie just made me feel sorry for both of them. It has a rotten plot, premise and script. Please, for the love of humanity, stay away from this movie. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Rating: - Pretty strange for a Biopic
Not much could be said about John Belushi's life. He lived it way too fast and that was what killed him. I've only recently heard from a friend that they actually made a movie about Belushi, much like they did to other SNL stars who have passed on, like Andy Kaufman and Gilda Radner. It was then did I hear the film was blasted by numerous critics and fans at the box office, calling it a piece of garbage that would make John spin in his grave. I figured it was worth seeing, becaue I was a big fan ... Read More
Rating: - Even if this movie were better, it would still be awful
As others have mentioned, if this movie had been filmed in the book's style (worth reading, by the way), it could have been terrific. Instead, they messed up the movie with some really dumb fiction that ruins everything else. The movie starts out with John Belushi's body being wheeled into the morgue, and his ghost gets up off the table and does the whole "looking back on my life" bit. This is annoyingly unbearable! Even the most diehard Belushi fan will find this to be a frustrating waste ... Read More
