I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Brilliant and touching

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

...that isn't a Broken Lizard movie. The gang's all here doing cameos, and Jay directs too - and there's a great homage to Super Troopers - all of which help make this an hilarious movie. I've never seen an episode of the series and never had any interest to do so, so that helps me love this because it's not "spoiling my childhood memories" as one reviewer put it. But I also love all the Broken Lizard movies, so perhaps it's only natural that I'd love this too. And what's not to love? It's hilarious and fun. I cannot fathom why so many people bash Jessica Simpson, but from many of the negative comments I read about her, I suspect a ton of people are jealous of her for some reason. Personally, I think that she is not only gorgeous and sexy, but she's also a very talented and convincing actress. She's great in another of my favorite movies: Employee of the Month. In this she's perfect, and I can't imagine anyone else playing Daisy Duke - and that includes whoever played her in the series. I never want to find out who that was because I don't care. Jessica Simpson is Daisy Duke for me. Sean William Scott and Johnny Knoxville are hysterical as Bo and Luke. I've never watched a Jackass movie or episode, but Knoxville is funny and likable in this and The Last Stand - and also a convincing actor. The humor is goofy and funny in this as it is in every Broken Lizard movie - who couldn't find the scene funny where Bo and Luke wear Japanese name-tags and crash the college campus and the science nerd calls them by their Japanese names and Sean William Scott's like "What did you call me?" I give this movie 10 out of 10.

Loveless bargain film-making. Several cocaine fueled "meetings" took place over a miserable weekend for two hookers in order for the screenplay to be written. From there the cruelty continued, first a director was forced to compromise his artistic integrity, then actors were forced into similar situations of compromised morals, until finally we, the audience, were then forced to betray something good when we watched it. A legacy of shame, passed along from one victim to the next all so some horrible sociopath can collect revenue. Great job Human Race what with that whole letting-the-world-be-run-by-evil-men thing, I think it's working out just fine.

Here's an opinion from someone who adores the TV show.Jessica Simpson isn't Daisy Duke (Horrible legs by the way, HORRIBLE!). Burt Reynolds isn't Boss Hogg; Reynolds looks like a stinking corpse, stinking as both drunk and musty. If it wasn't for his white outfit; he could have been unseen. He's deprived here of everything; presence, wit, capability of speak! Where was Danny DeVito for god's sake ?! Johnny Knoxville as Luke Duke and Seann William Scott as Bo Duke have nothing to do with the original characters unless their ages. They seem like dumb, sex maniac, and foul-mouthed kids which is faraway from the original 2 Dukes. Maybe this is the 2000s cinematic interpretation of them then! In this bothering manner, M.C. Gainey as Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane was mean, just mean; whether as a different interpretation, or a try to squeeze any comedy out of the comic series ! Junior Brown as The balladeer / narrator was palely written, with no memorable character or funny remarks. Lynda Carter as Pauline didn't do anything at all. I don't know what the need for her character was in the first place?! As long as we talk about the same TV show, I don't recall a character by the name, and of course the antics, of Derek "Sheev" Sheevington (played by Kevin Heffernan). Most probably it's an addition from this movie's director Jay Chandrasekhar inspired by his previous, absolutely UGLY, comedy (Super Troopers – 2001) where Kevin Heffernan played a very imbecile, very disgusting Vermont state trooper named Farva. So why not to remake it under the name of Sheev, and in the world of The Dukes of Hazzard, sorry; this less innocent, more filthy alternative world of The Dukes of Hazzard ?!!! So the casting sucked, rather shocked. And the changes sure stretched to damage big part of the show's authentic taste. Take for little instance the TV show's sweet elegance. It used to have the sexist gals at the time, even for the cameos, while here the 2 girlfriends of the 2 leads look away from that. For bigger instance; seeing Uncle Jesse, the head of wisdom in the TV show, smocking weed reminded me with the transformation of Huggy Bear, the street hustler / bar's owner of another 70s-80s TV show Starsky & Hutch, into florid pimp in the very show's cinematic remake, one year earlier. I was surprised (or not) when I knew that the 2 remakes were written by the same guy : John O'Brien. Clearly he wanted to take the known-by-heart characters into the next level. But why that next level had to be dirty ?! The original Dukes of Hazzard was a kids show, with teen jokes, and adult chases I suppose. Now we follow a teen everything, even Jessica Simpson looks like a 14 year old girl (who wears her mother's makeup heavily !). They thought that by adding endless, and needless, F words, pot smoking, sex jokes, plus Sheev character; the movie would work fine with the audiences of 2005, with naturally the demographic of today's teens, or – according to this movie's mindset – today's empty-headed teens. Nevertheless, they – the producers – forgot that the audiences of the from-1979-to-1985 TV show, who where kids back then, became parents by 2005, so most of them must have felt nauseated and turned off out of the casting, the changes, and the way things run this round.So aside from losing the show's moral code, the movie lost considerably the old glamorous touch, in many ways, which did annoy badly, especially without compensating it with as good or better new stuff. That's why all the original Dukes (Tom Wopat, John Schneider and Catherine Bach) declined the offer of having cameos in this movie according only to reading its script. I believe they found their show's name but not its spirit, with sauciness instead of suaveness.All that being said, the rest of the movie is a nice action. The script led the matter as unceasing light ride from start to finish, with interweaving cleverly the mission of saving the title characters' hometown, along with the big car race, and the final trial where all the facts around Boss's evilness expose. The action is very well made; hence it was entirely – if not shamefully – unfair from the Razzie's judges to nominate Jay Chandrasekhar for the worst director of the year. Without his eye for the good chases, and the heart-capturing jumps, this movie could have been far from watchable, and far from the TV show as well ! Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse Duke was the only casting's shot to be aimed rightly. He was fit as the real Uncle Jesse, and provided fun on-screen time. I had a blast while hearing the show's beautiful theme song at the closing credits. Loyal before nostalgic that was. Yet, this movie shortly destroyed that feeling by showing the bloopers, like Burt Reynolds's car movies of the 1980s, where totally unfunny and gross stuff were being thrown at us like Seann William Scott complaining in laughter about Johnny Knoxville "He showed me his BALLS" !!! Actually that's the problem with this movie; not swerving away the harmless TV show inasmuch as making a layer of good, followed by a layer of ugly. Waylon Jennings, the TV show's balladeer, used to sing "Just two good ole boys..", well, I think they should have changed it also to be "Just two ribald teens.." ! Simply, this movie's teen glee wasn't amusing. Thank god that the movie's rest was.
