With Alexander Godunov, Maureen Stapleton, Joe Mantegna. 91 min. C/Rtg: PG

Dragnet (1987)

Here are the facts, Ma’am: Dan Aykroyd is Sgt. Joe Friday, following in his famed uncle’s gumshoed footsteps. Tom Hanks is Friday’s unconventional, wise-cracking partner, Det. Pep Streebek. Can these mismatched cops work together in order to take down the sinister P.A.G.A.N. (People Against Goodness and Normalcy) cult, in this hilarious spoof of the classic TV series? With Dabney Coleman, Christopher Plummer, Alexandra Paul, and Harry Morgan as Capt. Bill Gannon. 106 min. C/Rtg: PG-13
