The startling effects of chemically induced short-term memory loss provide the backdrop for this resinous teen comedy. Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott) are two hard-partying du... read more read more...des who wake up after a very long night on the town to discover they've forgotten the presents they bought for their girlfriends Wanda (Jennifer Garner) and Wilma (Marla Sokoloff), twins who are more than a bit miffed that the stoners they've come to tolerate appear to have forgotten their anniversary. The presents are in Jesse's car, but they're so fuzzy on the details of the previous 24 hours that they have no idea where they left said automobile. Jesse and Chester set out to find their wheels, and along the way they discover that they had an even more eventful evening than they imagined, as strippers, aliens, a suitcase full of money, and a kitchen full of pudding become important pieces in the puzzle of the missing car. Dude, Where's My Car? also stars Hal Sparks, Kristy Swanson, Kevin Christy, and Fabio; it was written by Philip Stark, previously a writer for the TV series That 70's Show, which also features Kutcher in its cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    For some reason the "Sweet. What does mine say?" "Dude. What does mine say?" scene has become iconic for my friends and I. That was this movie's only redemption.

    Dude, Where's My Car? is a fun, dimwitted comedy about two hards partying stoners who've like the title of this movie implies have lost their car. The film is flawed yes, but it manages to be fun and wacky at the same time. This is the type of comedy you have to shut off your bra... read morein to enjoy, it really is the only way to. The gags on screen are bearable and the story is ridiculous but fun. I would say that this is one of my many guilty pleasures. The story is paper thin, and the acting isn't great, but to me, theres a certain appeal that I like about this film. The film is fun if you're in the mood for something totally stupid. If you don't like this type of humour, then Dude where's my car? is not the film for you. The film does manage to make you laugh, but it's never anything too hysterical. The funniest bit of the film were the chicks looking for the Contiuum Transfunctioner. I thought that was absolutely wacked and very funny. Kutcher and Sean William Scott are likeable, nothing too great. But I thought they managed something pretty decent. Dude Where's My Car? was never meant to be a comedy classic. I view it as an average enjoyable comedy with decent laughs. The film is fun, if you're in the right state of mind for this type of humour. Dude Where's My Car? is harmlesss fun simple as that.

    after a night they cant remember comes a day they wil never forget.
    Ashton Kutcher stars as Jesse, while Seann William Scott ( i like this guy he always cracks me up in movies)stars as his best mate Chester, theyre a couple of idiots, plain and simple. The movie opens after a pa... read morerticularly harsh night of partying, and they cant remember a thing and Jesses car is missing (hence the title) the rest of the film follows their various misadventures as they attempt to recover the lost car,and make up with their angry girlfriends.

    It has it's funny moments, but overall it's a bit silly with an even sillier story line......and then?

    This movie is so stupid... BUT... it CAN make you laugh like a silly idiot! If there's such as thing as a classic stoner movie, this is it.

    Dude Where's My Car suffers from nothing. Every critic is saying that is is too stupid to be taken seriously, but I honestly disagree, because it does not need to be taken seriously. It is one of the stupidest, dumbest and most provocative comedies I've ever seen, and I love it! ... read moreIt is definitely not good film by any means, but I still love it!

    It is all that could be expected from a movie like this, cute even funny at times. But it will not raise your IQ level.

    I understand this movie was meant to be stupid, but this is almost too stupid. The movie jumps right into the conflict of the "where's my car" issue. It started really fast, I didn't even get a chance to meet the characters yet. Then the whole plot is all over the place- sloppy, ... read morerushed and pointless. The Hangover meets Dumb and Dumber, except it's not funny.

    The characters are so stupid, I'm pretty sure I lost IQ points listening to them talk to each other. The word "Dude" was used so many times, it wasn't funny, it was annoying.

    This movie would probably be a hilarious movie, if you were drunk while you watched it. However, for the rest of us, it pretty much sucked.

    We all need a pick-me-up sometimes. This movie is like that.

    "Dude, Where's My Car?" is the most ridiculous movie I've ever seen. But that's why it's named "Dude, Where's My Car?" instead of, uh, "A unique humble introspective into the lives of two dudes". What you see is what y... read moreou get. Sweeeet!

    You need not think thoroughly as you watch, because the plot is simply laid out for you. The one-liners are redundant, and like everything else in this film, and hilarious when you account for the fact that Jesse and Chester are just happy stoners. This movie was in theaters when I was in high school. And it captures how small these self-absorbed stoners are in the perspective of the whole world, er, universe. Coooooool!!

    Dude, there's no responsibility placed upon the viewer in order to figure out any complex plot. Just remember how some of your stoner peers acted in high school, and you'll understand this movie! Sweeeeeet!

    The soundtrack wraps itself around silly nonsense such as Jesse and Chester's dialogue, Chester's facial contortions, and The Twins acting like they still have faith in the guys! Whoooooaaa!

    If you found any part of my review annoying, then you would take this movie too seriously, and therefore shouldn't buy it. But if you liked the lightheartedness, then enjoy!

    I give it 4 stars because this film knows what it is and doesn't need to be sophisticated! Don't think too hard, just sit back and enjoy!

Jessica Winter, Village Voice

Daft and lovable and even kinda daring, Dude deserves its truly clueless studio's belabored support. Full Review

Owen Gleiberman

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The definition of aiming low is when the John Hughes film you're ripping off is Weird Science. Full Review

Michael Rechtshaffen

Gratingly unfunny.

Wesley Morris
December 19, 2000
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle

Operates in a limbo between the relentlessly moronic and the legitimately entertaining, while almost solving the vehicular existentialism suggested by its title. Full Review

Ernesto Lechner

Ernesto Lechner, Los Angeles Times

Following these two clumsy, unpretentious doofuses as they jump from one brisk gag to another is a gentle, cozy experience, especially if you compare these harmless vignettes to the brutal and vitriol... Full Review

Jan Stuart, Newsday

To call this humor politically incorrect would be to unjustly credit its creators with any sort of ideology that could then be violated. Full Review

I was embarrassed that I enjoyed a movie so juvenile and stupid. But then I thought, 'Dude!' and I was OK. Full Review

Jonathan Foreman

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post

An almost chuckle-free mess, so amateurish and lame that the cast often has that embarrassed look you see on dogs given ridiculous haircuts.

James Berardinelli
December 18, 2000
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

A one-joke motion picture, and that one joke rapidly grows tiresome. Full Review

Stephen Holden

Stephen Holden, New York Times

A surprisingly sweet, mild-mannered movie for a teenage comedy spoof, and that's not a good thing. Full Review
