It was inevitable that The Dukes of Hazzard would leap onto the big screen, and now, thanks to Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers, Club Dread), it finally has. Slipping into the boots made famous by John Schneider and Tom Wopat, Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville play moonshine-selling cousins, Bo and Luke Duke. Along with their ridiculously gorgeous cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and joke-telling Uncle Jessie (Willie Nelson), the Duke boys love to get the goat of Hazzard County's most crooked law enforcement officials, including Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey) and county commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). But when they discover that Boss Hogg is using his leverage to run them off their farm in order to turn Hazzard County into a strip mine for coal, things get personal. With the help of their faithful friends, Bo and Luke set off on their riskiest adventure yet. Showing his reverence for the classic 1980s show, Chandrasekhar incorporates freeze-frames, humorous narration, and extended action sequences, resulting in a crowd-pleasing romp that promises to introduce a whole new generation of fans to the Duke boys. While Scott, Knoxville, and the scantily clad Simpson deliver the goods, it is The General Lee the pair's electrifying orange Charger that steals the show.

What would you expect from a film with Sean William Scott & Jonny Knoxville, a few obvious jokes, some car chases and a little action. It's worth watching and I'd probably watch it again, but the storyline was predictable and it's exactly what you'd expect.
I was never a huge fan of The Dukes Of Hazzard, but I used to watch it if I was around. Having watched the film Starsky and Hutch, which was truly appalling, I was not expecting much from this either. However, I quite enjoyed it, it doesn't take any brain to watch it, but it is quite fun. As far as I can tell, unlike Starsky and Hutch, they have kept to the original characters. Also the film is just like a long episode, not detracting from the original outlay of the TV series.
If you were a big fan of the TV series, like anything else, you might be unhappy with it, but I doubt if you would be appalled. For the rest of us, a bit of fun and some crazy driving. Oh and some nice shorts on Daisy !!!! ..... watch and see.
