You know, this effing stupid movie is sticking with me for some reason, so I'm gonna generously raise my rating from 1.75 stars to, oh, how about 2.375 stars. That's borderline "Recommended". A couple people I work with were like me - They'd seen the trailer and decided this wasn't for them. Then someone dragged them out to see it over the weekend, and damn if they didn't like it. One thing I like about it is they crashed real cars, not CGI cars. Also, the shotgun blasts in the opening car chase sounded real good (what was the shotgun's name? I forget). Hey, I'm trying hard to turn lemons into lemonade here!  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-09-2005 06:50 PM                     quote: Barry Floyd My crowd... left their trailer parks around 6:00 p.m., stopped by the check cashing store, and then headed to the drive-in.

I thought it didn't open in the U.K. until the end of August.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2005 09:57 PM                     I was surprised that it wasn't as bad as I imagined. I thought I would puke and run screaming from the theatre, but somehow I made it through to the end only mildly bored and insulted. My two main criticisms, have to do with the Grecko factor: 1) There were no less that 3 occasions where the filmmaker did not follow Daisy Duke's ass out of the shot. After all that poor girl did 4-months of squat-thrusts to get in to shape and had to try on over a hundred pairs of shorts. 2) Every other ass that followed by the camera, was substandard and not imaginatively costumed. I'm sure that was a contractual obligation that no ass appear in the film to upstage Jessica Simpson. Is there anybody making moonshine today, and does the ATF care? They could have re staged it in Humbolt County, made the Dukes Marijuana growers, and had the duke boys collage students that go astray. They could have staged all the chases with a Toyota Prius, until the end when they break out a new Dodge Charger. Product placement is key. Perhaps they should have stage it so that the Dukes were Mexican Coyotes smuggling illegal aliens in to the country, I would have enjoyed seeing Selma Hyak as Daisy. And jumping washed out bridges in a Ford Econoliner full of Mexicans, would have been more exciting that pausing every stunt mid shot to have a laconic voice over. Like we needed to have the movie explained to us, while it was going on!!! And how old are the Duke Boys supposed to be? Jonny Knoxville is 34 and looks older than me at 43! He has better hair I'll admit. And Jessica Simpson looked like she was wearing some plasic mask. A little restraint with the makeup please. I did have fun briefly re-imagining the film as a porno. Ok, this movie blows chunks, but I was unconscious so I didn't leave when I should have which was right after the V for Vendetta, trailer. Natalie Portman looks bitchin' with the buzz cut.  |  IP: Logged Max Einhorn Film Handler Posts: 13 From: Middletown, PA, USA Registered: Sep 2005 posted 10-02-2005 09:48 AM                        Plotless with humor that will make you demand a refund.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 10-09-2005 02:37 PM                        can't wait for the sequel then, eh?  |  IP: Logged
