I wanted to but couldn't!

Good concept, poorly executed.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Wow .... My head is still processing the utter mindlessness of the cretin who made this nonsense. I barely got through 20-minutes of it on Netflix before changing movies. What an utter mess. A ton of bad acting and sad directing, alongside horrible casting choices, characterization, script, and plot. Total crude and mindless humor at its dumbest. Completely insulting and shaming the classic series, which was a family-oriented show, and hugely entertaining. Bo and Luke were down-home good 'ole boys---not lust-driven, dimwitted playboys, always provoking brawls. Uncle Jessie was a God-fearing, rule-thumping fatherly patriarch, and Daisy was NOT a bimbo blonde, but an attractive, sexy brunette with real brains behind a pretty face. Roscoe and Enos were the comic relief, serving under the comical deviousness of Boss Hogg. Thank goodness I didn't waste my $ on a movie ticket, at its release. I'd have demanded a refund.

The only reason this movie has a 5/10 rating is because of all the die hard Duke's of Hazard fans who watched the TV show growing up. The fact of the matter is if you have never seen the Dukes of Hazard TV show, or don't have a sentimental love for the show, then this movie is worth a watch. Johnny Knoxville and Sean William Scott clearly have great chemistry throughout the movie, the plot line isn't boring or hard to follow, and there are definitely some funny moments from start to finish. Jessica Simpson, Willie Nelson, Burt Reynolds, and Kevin Heffernan are some good extras who make the movie more enjoyable as well. Dukes of Hazard isn't the funniest movie you will ever see, but it deserves more than a 5/10 rating. I was shocked when I saw how low the IMDb rating for this movie was until I realized it's because of all the Dukes of Hazard TV show fanatic reviews. I got some good laughs out of this movie and I think it deserves more than 5 stars.

Not as bad as everyone says this movie is.************************************************The first thing I notice when I read all of the negative comments about this movie, the writer always points out that he or she was a HUGE fan of the show way back when.........One of the things You have to remember is that absence makes the heart grow fonder.......and with the Dukes of Hazzard TV Show being off of the air since the mid '80's ...these people have watched reruns over and over and these probably undoubtedly remember the TV show as being far better than it actually was(or at least in their minds anyway). ******************************************************************** *I liked the Dukes of Hazzard movie. I liked the sex jokes (I was slightly disappointed that there was no serious nudity shown in the film). I thought the drug humor was indeed funny (not enough of it)BUT! ! ! ! having said that......... I also believe they could have made this same movie and not have used the "Dukes of Hazzard" name,likeness or characters .... Because I also understand that "Dukes of Hazzard" has a lot of appeal to children(mainly boys between ages 10 and 14) , and to use the Dukes of Hazzard as a show case for "Sex, Drugs, & Rock'N Roll" really isn't the message we should be giving our youths. Showing the Duke boys smoking weed and getting laid probably wasn't the right thing to do..............although I really did like this movie and thought it was very funny, I still think that they should've made this movie with it's own identify. Because this same movie could've been made without the Dukes of Hazzard name on it, and it would have been just as good.

I wasn't a devoted fan of the original TV series, but that only means it took me a while to get in the habit of watching every week, and I wouldn't mind seeing the remaining episodes now. It just gets expensive to watch old shows.But there wasn't much to like about this movie compared to the old series. That's not to say I didn't sort of enjoy it. It just won't hold up in a comparison between the two. There were fun car chases and wrecks and, of course, the General Lee jumping.Speaking of the General Lee, this movie is somewhat more politically correct than the series. We are reminded that some people think that Confederate flag is offensive. We never saw the cousins' feelings on the subject, but they were driving through the black section of Atlanta with that racist symbol on display. Some rednecks applauded their devotion to the South, some people showed they were offended.Was there any good acting? Burt Reynolds, of course. But I couldn't like him as much as the adorable Sorrell Booke. And Rosco? The difference between this man and James Best reminds me of when I saw the movie "Hogan's Heroes" was based on. The movie Rosco was like the movie Schultz--not as much of a moron, not as likable. James Best would have been more like the TV Schultz. You just had to like him in spite of things. TV Enos was more of a moron, but movie Enos was somewhat likable.More cops, too, than on TV, and these cops were to be taken seriously. That's actually more realistic.The only truly bad acting I remember was Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse. Of course I like Willie Nelson the singer, and I thought he was better at playing himself in an episode of the TV series "Monk". The idea of someone like Willie playing Uncle Jesse is an appealing one, but the results just weren't always ideal. The cousins weren't quite as appealing, and when they had a disagreement--well, they just didn't seem appealing any more. But they were good enough.Jessica Simpson was tougher than Catherine Bach, and hotter. She took off her top in one scene. And then in another scene, she took off a trench coat to show what she had on under those short shorts. The top matched the bottom, and what wasn't covered looked fit, tan and amazing. And all that blonde hair. Simpson didn't seem at all bothered by putting herself on display, and that's just fine with me. She still showed intelligence.Pretty girls wearing skimpy outfits or towels were a big part of this movie. I liked the girls who helped out with the big mystery. Was it worth seeing? I can't say. You may be better off never having seen the series, or you'll try to compare the two.
