Dudley Do-Right Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

superb family film

Dudley Do-Right follows the hilarious exploits of the dedicated but hapless young Mountie (Brendan Fraser), as he struggles to outwit the evil Snidely Whiplash (Alfred Molina). Snidely has devised the scam of the century, setting off the biggest gold rush since the Klondike. Prospector Kim J. Darling (Eric Idle) is an unsuspecting oaf who joins the millionaire wannabes streaming into the town that has since been named Whiplash City. It's up to the usually sweet and naive Dudley to lead the charge, defeat the villain, win the heart of Nell Fenwick (Sarah Jessica Parker) and bring peace back to Semi-Happy Valley. Hopefully, he won't screw it up.

superb.... well worth renting out.

Kids films should still have some quality to them!

I felt quite disgruntled with SJP for starring in this film - I wouldn't have rented it at all if she hadn't been in it! I had to watch this dvd over about 6 evenings to finally reach the end! This film was cringeworthy & tedious. Were it not for my rule that I watch everything I rent right through to the bitter end pushing me on, I certainly wouldn't have managed!

I had a feeling though not having grown up in the US seeing the aminated version that I wasn't in on a joke here that would have made the film seem a bit better, at least in a nostalgic way. On a positive note, the cartoon at the start is quite enjoyable!
