The General Lee is back and so are the Duke boys in this big-screen adaptation of the hit TV series, brought to you by Jay Chandrasekhar of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe. Set in the "present day," t... read more read more...he story follows Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) as they cruise around Hazzard County and wreck havoc in their classic 1969 Dodge Charger. Together with their scantily clad cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and moonshining Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), the two good old boys battle the corrupt county commissioner Boss Hog (Burt Reynolds) when he and local Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey) threaten to take away the family farm. John O'Brien has the lone writer's credit on the film, though additional uncredited rewrites were handled by the Broken Lizard gang. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

    ........Wait, this is a movie?
  • January 2, 2012
    The worst motion picture of all-time.
  • October 25, 2011
    A stupid, idiotic, ridiculous film that has no reason to exist apart from to cash in on a classic TV Series. Dumb, meaningless fun when your bored at best.

    Immense failure of capturing what was good about the original TV show, this film adaptation of The Dukes of Hazzard is a terrible mess of a film that doesn't work whatsoever, and is a very poor attempt at trying to make a good comedy. I hated this film and it was a waste of time.... read more The jokes were terrible, and the acting was awful. The story was also very bad. As a remake or adaptation is concerned, The Dukes of Hazzard fails to entertain, and just insults the viewer. The film is uninspired trash and everything about sucks. There is nothing to love about this. Now, in my teens I like the TV show, not a big fan, but I liked the show. However this film doesn't keep the essence of the series, it makes it hip for a young, teen audience, and overall the cast just sucks. This film is terrible, it's crap, and it sure as hell scraps the bottom of the barrel of bad, uninspired ideas. I'm not surprised one single bit that this film is in the 5$ bargain bin at Wal-Mart, the film awful. Hell paying five bucks seems too steep for this piece of trash. This is a stupid comedy that should be avoided at all costs. The Dukes of Hazzard should never have been made, and is one of the worst comedies that you can possibly see. Everything is so out of place, that there's almost nothing related to the original show except the Dodge Charger and the characters names. Aside from that, this is too modern a take on a classic TV show to make it work, and fails due to bad acting, and a very bad attempt at comedic relief.

    Loved this! Johnny Knoxville at his best!

    This movie sucked on many levels. The acting sucked, it wasn't funny, and the story was hoorible. It was one large Jessica Simpson porno where they tease us with big boobs and drugs.

    I thought it was pretty funny for what it was, but then again I was sold with it starring Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott. I think they honored the show enough and managed to have a lot good moments. I really think the only thing that brought down the movie was Jessica S... read moreimpson because she just didn't have the necessary talent.

    Poorly executed with raunchy humor that I actually felt myself laughing pretty hard at!

I hated this movie. It represents everything that's wrong with the studio system. Full Review

After the first chase scene, it's obvious that Scott and Knoxville don't have enough charisma to carry the film, or to even make anarchic destruction and evading the law into something if not sexy at ... Full Review

Like most movies based on old television shows, Dukes is all concept, with a few jokes written into its crevices. Full Review

So loud, so long, so dumb. Full Review

Mike Clark, USA Today

You can't blame the millions who will fantasize about Gen. Sherman burning the movie's negative, but when it comes to the home market, this will be a good one for its target audience to pass out to. Full Review

Peter Howell

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Delivering exactly what it promises -- car chasing, girl gazing and yee-hawing -- it takes the high road to low art by remaining faithful to the TV series that spawned it. Full Review

Mick LaSalle

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

In stiff competition for the lamest thing ever put on celluloid. Full Review

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

The Dukes of Hazzard feels like Hollywood's last idea, a wan desperate wave of red meat redneck humor marketed to red state America. Full Review

Lisa Rose

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

For a movie that posits itself as a celebration of rebel excess, Dukes is pretty tame. Full Review
