The Dukes of Hazzard

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Good, stupid fun. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Nov 7, 2019
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. Go to Full Review

A hollow-but-happy film that has no pretensions above its lowbrow station. Go to Full Review

Cole D @RT78180295 1 day ago A fun car movie that has 2 mediocre comedians in it See more Carlos T @RT67858720 5 days ago 🏁 **VEREDITO** *Os Gatões* está longe de ser uma grande adaptação e não chega perto do impacto da série original. Porém, como sessão de entretenimento, funciona. É nostalgia, humor, carros e perseguições — exatamente o tipo de receita que fez *The Dukes of Hazzard* ser lembrado por gerações. **Não é cinema para pensar. É cinema para se divertir.** ⭐ **NOTA: 6,0/10** See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 12, 2026 The worldwide gross is $111,069,515.00 over a production budget of $50,000,000.00 which is almost triple the ticket sales. See more Ryan L @RT27360424 Mar 11, 2026 This was supposed to be an R-rated movie, so get the Unrated Version for sure. Stupid, funny, and broken lizard did their thing. Maybe it’s the southern one-liners or it’s just the nostalgia for me, but I always have a good time with this movie! It’s a great "throw something on the tv" movie. Not every movie has to be schindlers list. Of course it’s not Ruth’s Chris, but hell sometimes you just wanna hit the McDonald’s drive through and get a kids meal with a toy. The PG-13 version’s watered down, Unrated R version is a phile. See more Tyra T @TLT205 Feb 7, 2026 Fun movie with cool cars, quick dialog and good old country fun. One of my favorites! See more Taryn B @TarynBush Jan 30, 2026 Unpopular opinion,(but the right ones usually are unpopular) this movie is cinematic gold! Broken Lizard did great with this film all around,great chase scenes,loads of humor and fantastic casting right down to Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke because frankly she’s hot as balls in those cut off shorts!
