All rights reserved.| Movie Description It was inevitable that THE DUKES OF HAZZARD would leap onto the big screen, and now, thanks to Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar (SUPER TROOPERS, CLUB DREAD), it finally has. Slipping into the boots made famous by John Schneider and Tom Wopat, Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville play moonshine-selling cousins, Bo and Luke Duke. Along with their ridiculously gorgeous cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and joke-telling Uncle Jessie (Willie Nelson), the Duke boys love to get the goat of Hazzard County's most crooked law enforcement officials, including Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey) and county commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). But when they discover that Boss Hogg is using his leverage to run them off their farm in order to turn Hazzard County into a strip mine for coal, things get personal. With the help of their faithful friends, Bo and Luke set off on their riskiest adventure yet. Showing his reverence for the classic 1980s show, Chandrasekhar incorporates freeze-frames, humorous narration, and extended action sequences, resulting in a crowd-pleasing romp that promises to introduce a whole new generation of fans to the Duke boys. While Scott, Knoxville, and the scantily clad Simpson deliver the goods, it is The General Lee--the pair's electrifying orange Charger--that steals the show.

Top Reviews Review created: 11/11/06 by: 6 of 7 people found this review helpful. Its a well known Hollywood tradition to make horrible remakes of classic movies. Just recently we had the Poseidon Adventure, the Longest Yard, the Fog, War of the Worlds and the list goes on. Now, Hollywood in its infinite wisdom makes a movie out of the Dukes of Hazard TV show. While that show was campy fun with cool car chases, corny jokes, and Daisy Duke, this movie is just plain dumb. This movie fails for so many reasons but lets just stick to the obvious ones. First, there is no real plot to speak of, well none worth mentioning anyhow. Second, the acting is simply awful. I like Willie Nelson, and Jessica Simpson is gorgeous, but they're not enough to salvage this film. There's no character development, the jokes aren't funny, and the car chases are boring and predictable. Finally, maybe this is one of those times when someone in the Hollywood board room should have realized that this series isn't made for the big screen. The movie has none of the fun of the original series and I'm not the only one to think so judging by its quick exit from the theatres. The Dukes of Hazard Movie is awful and should only be watched on cable, when its free, if nothing else is on. Review ID: 10000000002339009 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
