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.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Good, stupid fun. Apr 22, 2008 Full Review Leslie Felperin Film4 If rubber-burning car chases and short shorts are your thing, this is the summer remake for you. Apr 22, 2008 Full Review Ben Walters 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. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com '...the brand promises hot cars, country music, corn-poke humour and pretty girls and that's what Chandrasekhar delivers...' Rated: 3/5 Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias 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. Nov 7, 2019 Full Review James Mottram The List A hollow-but-happy film that has no pretensions above its lowbrow station. Rated: 2/5 Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Frans B 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)?? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review thiago s 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Chastity E This was most definitely the worst remake I have ever seen. It was pathetic. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Hayden C 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review alan g The only thing with watching is Jessica Simpson's ass. Filled with no talent hacks, has beens and never wases. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. 3.69/5 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
