A Major Disappointment
There had been a fad in Hollywood decades ago for making live-action versions of old television cartoons. None really worked, but this one has done more badly than the others. Of course, it didn't help that Dudley Do-Right cartoons were invariably shorts, rather ones that beget complicated situations.The cartoon had the premise of a strong and handsome but dense hero doing battle against the villain Snidely Whiplash, succeeding in the end when he finally uses his head. (One episode has him fooling Snidely into thinking some dynamite exploded when it didn't because he tricked him using a recording of an explosion-but Dudley had failed to defuse the real dynamite.) So what happens here? Snidely starts a fake gold rush, and Dudley eventually foils his plans. This could have been the basis of something good, but a confusing and unfunny story, ethnic stereotypes, and performers who don't correspond very well to their cartoon equivalents make this a bad movie. Even Dudley Do-Right completists should stay away.
After reading nothing but terrible reviews of this movie, I finally felt compelled to weigh in. I loved the Jay Ward comics... their irreverence and ability to be entertaining on both an adult and child level. I found the movie sweetly amusing and very loyal to the classic cartoon. All the actors were great in their roles. The writing was clever.I gave it to my twin nephews for their birthday, knowing they will enjoy it and my sister will love it. After reading such dreadful reviews, I watched it twice to make certain I wasn't missing something. NO. It's funny.
all the jokes was so worst. Barnedn Fraser don't know to choice a good movies which aren't the Mummy's movies. OK, he played good as well in George in Jungle.... that's all. i hated the twisted of bad/good/bad/good....... it just make headaches. also- i hated Nell's char. she isn't so active in the movie and don't so funny (alike ALL the chars....)in short: don't watch it. don't waste 77 mins on this movie. better to waste 77 mins on another movie.the idea of the story started nice- but it's quickly goes down and down as a tree rolled in a river and tries not sallow in the water.. nothing save it else. the end of the movie just make a shame to horses and to the vievers that wasted time on the movie.
No, not one tiny bit of this movie can be said to be even remotely funny. How come that so many seemingly sane people get involved in a movie that only two or three persons in the whole world would find funny? Were they tricked? The slapstick was downright pathetic and all the overcliché'd jokes make this one painful to eyes and ears. OK, there was the scene in which fireworks were being shot at attacking boats, but this scene was over before I knew, so even this will not change the rating I generously bestow on this hopeless attempt at creating humorous content.
