Profile of The Dukes of Hazzard

The mood of The Dukes of Hazzard is humorous. The plot centers around chases, partners, and buddies. It is a comedy, action, and adventure movie. In approach, The Dukes of Hazzard is not serious and realistic. The pacing is fast. It takes place, at least partly, in the countryside. The Dukes of Hazzard happens in contemporary times. It is based on a TV series. It is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night.

Summary of The Dukes of Hazzard

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.

Critics Reviews

USA Today
It's for people who have always wanted to see Willie Nelson ("Uncle Jesse") lob Molotov cocktails on a freeway and smoke weed with Joe Don Baker, who plays Georgia's governor.
Entertainment Weekly
It's trash, all right, but perfectly skewed trash -- a comedy that knows just how smart to be about just how dumb it is.

Users Reviews

Where to start… If you saw The Dukes of Hazzard and actually liked it, you need to have your head examined. The word “atrocity” comes to mind. When the best of the movie is Jessica Simpson is short shorts, you know you’re in trouble. Let me put that...
I was actually looking forward to this being a nice little piece of brain candy that I could veg out to and simply be entertained. After all, it IS directed by that guy from Broken Lizard with the un-typable last name, and he has good taste, right?...
