Critics Consensus

The movie isn't funny, the plot is too thin, and the production values feel more like a TV sitcom than a movie.

Childish, but you might find yourself giggling.

Comedies have survived with looser scenarios, but few prove as brain-dead as this one.

Leiner's lame-brained travesty shoots for wacky but instead ends up being intensely irritating.

As inept and moronic a teenage comedy as I've ever seen.

Dude,Where's My Car? isn't a good movie. But it is at least possessed of a certain vapid honesty.

This is horrible, but it’s also offensive as hell.

It’s not bad. It’s pretty corny and low quality, but it still is pretty funny.

Sure: Paperthin story, goofy humor, flat characters. BUT: Most gags land, it is funny and foremost very offensive. Works for me, it´s worth a watch

In the 90s, there were a lot of great comedy films released that were pretty stupid, and over time it seemed as though movie makers began to think the stupidity was the selling point. This film is a perfect example of that. It's vastly more stupid than funny, but maybe watchable, if you love stuff like Biodome. Ironically, I can never seem to remember much about this movie after having seen it.

This poor movie has a 16% rating but it is the peak cinematic masterpiece of 2000. This is my new favorite film and I think it deserves the world and you should watch it immediately right neow. The peak technological cgi used in this movie is breathtaking. The character development is beyond our years, and the storyline is very deep and meaningful. All around, a cinematic masterpiece. Thank you.

I can’t just brush this off as a guilty pleasure. If we lived in a world where the Kardashians won prime-time Emmys and Cheech Marin was Hollywood’s most decorated actor, then maybe—just maybe—I could wholeheartedly recommend this stoner comedy. It’s near perfection in its ridiculousness and, to be honest, just as fun as Bill & Ted in terms of comedic antics… just without the same lovable characters. Do I dare call it a truly stupid movie? I do. And I dare you to watch it—if you feel like shedding a few brain cells. Dude… Sweet!
