Dukes Of Hazzard on DVD (2005)

Entertaining but predictable

Christopher Eldergill from Weston - Super - Mare , 18/08/2005

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.

Not to hazzardess!

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.

Not classic Dukes, but entertaining none-the-less!

David Gray from Clackmannanshire, Scotland , 02/09/2005

Bo and Luke have some wild and random adventures in their 1969 Dodge Charger lovingly called the 'General Lee' as they hope to save the farm with the help of their cousin Daisy and Uncle Jesse. This time the corrupt Boss Hogg is trying to take over most of Hazzard county through devious means to turn it into a giant strip mine for coal. Since the Duke boys get their farm repossessed, they ain't too happy!

All in all, the movie wasn't that bad. Seann W. Scott and Johnny Knoxville bring laughs the entire way, so if you'll excuse the cheesy plot, watching Scott and Knoxville shoot off laughs and the General Lee do some crazy stunts isn't bad entertainment.

The part that I found really brought the movie down is Jessica Simpson's character who struts around aimlessly trying to attract guys so that Bo and Luke can beat them up for her. Really, without Daisy, sad as it is, the movie would have been much better for me. At least the original Daisy was a strong empowered female in her own right. This Daisy ain't nothing but eye candy (great eye candy, but still nothing more than eye candy!)

The other part that really bothered me is the somewhat pathetic plot. It's as if they wrote the entire script and then later thought they better add a point to the movie so they brought in a cheap plot in hopes that everyone would be too in love with the rest of the movie to even realize how flimsy it is.

Definitely drop your brains by the door and just go along for easy laughs and cool car scenes; try not to think too much while you sit through this one. Unfortunatley for fans of the original, there is not much here to captivate you past the opening General Lee chase(classic Dukes!) and the escape from Atlanta.

You gets what you pays for here..

This took 3 sittings to watch, it is a bit of a challenge to try and keep interested long enough to be some sort of entertainment. But not to spoil it too much - it is fun and pretty ok in parts, but you need to check your brain at the door.

Hazard-ous to your health

A customer from Birmingham. England , 05/09/2006

This remake of the cult classic TV series is unfortunately not what it was cracked up to be. A lot of the film was boring with a few laughs. Even the car chases were nowhere as good as the tv series. All in all the film lacked Tom Wopat & John Schneider's raport. Even Jessica Simpson wasn't as sexy in this as Catherine Bach was either. This film would be ok if you've never seen the TV version
