Critics Consensus

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

One of my all time favorites, loved the tv show. This is a funny adaptation, willy Nelson, burt reynolds, Johnny Knoxville and sean william scott, and Jessica simpson make a great team. So much car action to enjoy. I wish they'd make another

The only reason to watch this is to have on in the background the dumb but entertaining car chases that drag on what feels like an eternity. The acting is ok enough despite everyone having one dimensional characters Knoxville & Scott bring a energy and charm (Especially Scott) to the roles and make it entertaining enough. Everyone else is just ok and forgettable. The cinematography is the highlight being half decent with well framed shot many times and fun to watch (Although pointless and repetitive) car chases that add nothing to the plot and take up half the runtime. It drags so much that eventually I'm 99% sure the licensed rock songs run out and they have to resort to generic country/rock songs to keep the music going which is ok overall. The editing and pacing are atrociously bad in this. It takes about 20 minutes for any plot to unfold than we get about 5 minutes of a plot setup and than that's it, the rest is just an excuse to throw the Dukes into stupid situations where they use the car to get out of stuff. This shouldn't have been made into a movie. Unless your a fan of Scott and only after you've watched everything else you can watch this. Otherwise skip this.

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...'

Rated: 3/5

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.

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