Very Cool!!!

So much average

Sadly Over-hyped

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

You me and Dupree really is a horrible film and was a big disappointment to me. I usually like Kate Hudson, and Matt Dillon has certainly been involved in good material in his professional acting career, but this garbage is just sad. This film has a potentially funny plot and had some potential to be good quality comedy, but it wasted that good potential on unfunny content, lackluster jokes, and wooden acting from the cast. Owen Wilson was annoying and just unfunny as our star, Dupree. And Kate and Matt really didn't have any true noticeable chemistry as a couple, they looked fake and unbelievable. Oh and Michael Douglas is also in here in a small supporting role, Kate's father, and I really hated him in this film, I thought he was just dumb, unnecessarily annoying and completely unfunny. The script is dull and it is void of any and all possible jokes that would work well. This "comedy" film, if you can even call it that, falls flat and disappoints big time. 1/10 for You me and Dupree.

Dupree (Owen Wilson) is the lovable slacker best man for Molly (Kate Hudson) and Carl Peterson (Matt Dillon)'s Hawaiian wedding. Carl is working for his property developer father-in-law Mr. Thompson (Michael Douglas) who keeps trying to emasculate him. Molly is a schoolteacher. Dupree becomes homeless and jobless. Carl takes him in for a few days which Molly reluctantly accepts. However, a few days don't last a few days.Dupree is the house guest that overstays his welcome. He makes me want to kick him out and that's how I feel about the movie. It could still work with Owen Wilson as a likable goof but Matt Dillon is too intense of an actor. The chemistry is off. It would be better if Carl is played by a comedian or somebody with a lighter touch. It also makes Carl's later jealousy much harsher and darker. None of that is particularly funny.

A great romantic comedy? Never. This is so awful it makes you wanna close your eyes. I feel for people who actually paid to see this. This is something that you feel excited about but in the end you wish you never were. Disappointment. Owen Wilson is quite a funny actor. He has done good job with many roles but he has done a disservice for himself here. Just terrible, not even close to funny. Kate Hudson is a sweet girl. It's sad to see her in this movie. And how in the earth they got Michael Douglas to play in this wanna-be comedy?Listen to me, don't watch this movie. This is a favor to you. You gonna thank me later. I'm serious. Just like your face if you still decide to see that.

Upwardly mobile couple, just married and back from their honeymoon, play hosts to the groom's semi-Neanderthal best pal from boyhood. With no job, no car, and no other couch to sleep on, the friend moves in and takes over the house; soon, the wife begins to appreciate the scruffy guy and the way he helps out, but the husband begins to think his buddy is trying to steal his girl. Familiar theme barely updated. Owen Wilson, who also served as one of the producers, is a really odd presence here as Dupree--he's both overeager and annoying (and a little creepy). As the married couple, Kate Hudson has several good scenes, and she's put some thought into her characterization, but I'm not sure how well-cast Matt Dillon is (he doesn't look comfortable playing the patsy, he doesn't match up quite right with Hudson and, although he makes an attempt to be loose, he can't bring laughs to his role). A sub-plot involving Dillon working for his property developing father-in-law (Michael Douglas, phoning it in) fails to jell with the rest (doesn't Hudson know what a sonuvabitch her father is?), and the third act of the movie manages to lose all the bounce from the first half-hour. It is often torturous to sit through. *1/2 from ****
