Based on the cartoon, this live-action comedy follows the adventures of Dudley Do-Right (Brendan Fraser), an enthusiastic, if somewhat dim, Canadian Mountie. When Dudley's childhood crush, Nell Fenwick (Sarah Jessica Parker), returns to their hometown in the mountains, he is eager to spend time with her, but his attempts at courting her are foiled by the villainous Snidely Whiplash (Alfred Molina), who is up to his usual schemes. Can Dudley win Nell's heart and curtail Snidely's wicked ways?

The fanciful associations and bad jokes are more often stupid than silly, making all the spectacle and contrived dance numbers seem a colossal waste.

Why in the wide, wide, world of sports would anybody make a big-budget feature film from a decades-old, animated cartoon parody of Nelson Eddy/Jeanette MacDonald movies?

It’s a shame this isn’t a better movie. Fraser and Molina are so good. And yes, this movie has a lot of issues but I got a few chuckles; Ironically and sincerely.

Oh my god was this movie bad. Everyone always talks about how bad the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie is (which I love) but this is SO much worse. And how this got made before the other is beyond me.

This movie was actually pretty funny. Sure, it's dumb, but yall need to lighten up. It's not at all a serious movie.

An odd choice for a live-action adaptation, Dudley Do-Right is clearly trying to recapture what worked in the George of the Jungle movie but, aside from a scene-stealing Alfred Molina and a cartoon preceding the movie that's much funnier, its humour trying too hard to appeal to both audiences, unfocused plot and the jokes falling flat most of the time - the very short runtime doesn't help - shows that not every cartoon that had 15 minutes of fame needs to turn their protagonists into real boys and girls (or alternatively, glorified cosplay)...Molina does give it some "so bad, it's good" entertainment value.
