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.

It was a fun film. Critics want an Oscar winning film from every movie ever made... this wasn't that not was it nostalgia bate for the original series... I watched it with fresh eyes and open mind, I was entertained by the raunchy comedy, over the top stunts and hillbilly caricatures... it dares to defy the standard and stands out as a unique take on a classic piece of media It's a unique film because it's short comings are in many ways its best qualities... I can appreciate introspection or character depth but I can also appreciate Jessica Simpson in booty short and a model in a bikini every 5 minutes (there were so many)... It was a raunchy comedy that made sense for the time and context it was produced and it fit a specific type of humour that no longer exists in 2025. Its a cinema classic for those who just wanna enjoy watching a movie without pretending they are snobs of high society

I loved it! Why compare it to the series or original?, even the critdicks do that?, but never mind. Goofy fun, good ol' boys and just mayhem 🤪 The cast all performs convincingly and after I've seen "the making of" it, a lot went into the movie. Not for everybody, but I can not think that the majority thinks it's "mindless" and "empty"(vacuous)??

Filme legal, o roteiro é legalzinho, as cenas são legais, o elenco é bacaninha, e só a dupla do seann William scott junto com johnny knoxville ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é boa, os personagens sao bacaninhas, e com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.

This was most definitely the worst remake I have ever seen. It was pathetic.

I do not care what anybody says but this movie is amazing. I grew up watching this with my dad and found it absolutely hilarious. Today it is still one of my favorite comedies ever. I know plenty of people don’t like this movie but I don’t care because this movie was my entire childhood.
