Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke Duke (Johnny Knoxville) are a pair of good-ol'-boy brothers who tear through rural Hazzard County, Ga., transporting moonshine for their kindhearted Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson) in their tricked-out car, the General Lee. When they learn that corrupt political kingpin Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds) is evicting farmers so he can sell their land to an evil coal mining operation, the boys and their comely cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) decide to fight back.

Critics Consensus

A dumb, goofy, and vacuous adaptation of a TV show where plot is simply an excuse to string together the car chases.

If rubber-burning car chases and short shorts are your thing, this is the summer remake for you.

Time Out

Whether you find all this inane or offensive will probably depend on whether you buy the Dukes' defence of 'never meaning no harm'; either way it's pretty hard going.

'...the brand promises hot cars, country music, corn-poke humour and pretty girls and that's what Chandrasekhar delivers...'

Behind The Lens

Unfortunately, this is a film that begs comparison to the television series and because of that draws more criticism than were it to stand alone - although standing along it still insults the intelligence of every moviegoer out there.

The List

A hollow-but-happy film that has no pretensions above its lowbrow station.

Charming and Unique. Feels like southern comfort food in an easily digestible 104 minutes. Worth a watch if you're into dumb fun with a southern twang. 3.89/5

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The Dukes of Hazzard boasts a decent cast, but the movie’s doesn’t rev enough throttle and humor as the TV show. It’s just a silly, over-the-top adaptation. Grading: C-

Really good movie. Comical, fun, and fast cars. Nothing like the original tv series but it wasn’t trying to be and I can respect something or someone who try’s there own thing and puts there own twist to a series Acting is top notch with a loaded cast and loaded soundtrack. I would definitely give it a watch it may not be for everyone and that’s fine but I sure do love this movie I do not know why it’s rated so low!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I really don't understand why critics scored this movie so poorly. It isn't The Godfather. It isn't meant to be a blockbuster. This movie delivers EXACTLY what it was supposed to. ................. This movie is just like the old TV series. Two southern boys driving around in a loud orange muscle car, stopping the greedy rich guy from getting away with stuff, all while running away from the cops. ................. It is a simple story. And the movie did a great job of turning it into a fun comedy. NOTE: I had a Dukes of Hazard slot car set. And a General Lee bedspread. I was a happy 10 year old.
