Comments on: You Me And Dupree – Under the Radar? http://themovieblog.com/2006/07/you-me-and-dupree-under-the-radar The Official Home of Correct Movie Opinions Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:35:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jim Gleeson http://themovieblog.com/2006/07/you-me-and-dupree-under-the-radar#comment-48125 Jim Gleeson Tue, 18 Jul 2006 07:42:57 +0000 http://themovieblog.com/?p=4654#comment-48125 Mild Spoilers included At first I thought EMO was a way of describing people that looked like Emo Phillips the comedian, but I guess I was wrong. Check out answers.com or the ghetto dictionary if it gets too taxing. I saw Dupee on opening day and although it was not as good as Wedding Crashers, I still thought it was funny. And while there are the sight gags hinted to in the trailers, the movie has a lot more going for it than that. The best part since Shanghai Noon? I don't think you have to go that far back to find a better Wilson Role. 1. Wedding Crashers (2005) 2. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 3. Starsky and Hutch (the movie sucked but him and Stiller were still good in it) Add into that his role in Zoolander, the way Stiller and Wilson play react to eachother is well worth it which explains "Meet The Parents" as well. 4. Zoolander and the Royal Tenenbauums 5. "Meet The Parents" Michael Douglas even turns up in this movie and does a good job as the head of a land development company/father of Kate Hudson. Kate Hudson, for all their lack of using her in this movie as an actress, is great to look at on the big screen. There is one dream sequence where she appears in a very revealing bikini...well it is nice to watch and it illustrates why Dillon's character Carl acts the way he does. Mild Spoilers included

1. Wedding Crashers (2005)

2. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

3. Starsky and Hutch (the movie sucked but him and Stiller were still good in it) Add into that his role in Zoolander, the way Stiller and Wilson play react to eachother is well worth it which explains “Meet The Parents” as well.

4. Zoolander and the Royal Tenenbauums

5. “Meet The Parents”

Kate Hudson, for all their lack of using her in this movie as an actress, is great to look at on the big screen. There is one dream sequence where she appears in a very revealing bikini…well it is nice to watch and it illustrates why Dillon’s character Carl acts the way he does.

Dupree come comes in at 3-5 this weekend. This movie will barely make a whimper. My take? Dupree come comes in at 3-5 this weekend. This movie will barely make a whimper.

I'd been wondering why I get that funny feeling in my tummy when I watch Kurt Russell films... Thanks for clearing that up, Nord.

Everyone did a very good job and Owen Wilson shined in it. As for the audience they were laughing non-stop throughout the whole film. I have to say it actually reminded me of the 40yr old virgin a little since it was filled with great comedy but wasn't as funny as say The Wedding Crashers in part due to the great story and wonderful charecters. Out of 10 and using the movieblog style of rating, i would give the film an 8 out of 10 and also give it a definate go.

He gets hit by a car, that's funny? They wake up to find him in a silly position on their couch, that's funny? This movie looks like a bunch of not-funny stunt gags. It can't possibly compare to Wedding Crashers, which yes had some stunt gag stuff, but the dialogue and interplay between Wilson and Vaughn is truly what made that movie comedic gold. Maybe I'm wrong, and there all the good stuff just isn't in the trailers, but I won't be seeing it to find out.

Yes, it looks funny as hell, but it could also turn out to be one big long running joke with more groans than laughs. I may wait a week since I'll be going to see POTC again with the fiance.

Sure, we all know a Dupree but that doesn't mean I want to see an entire movie about it. It just doesn't look funny to me. I didn't even think "Wedding Crashers" was that fabulous. A lot of the comedy was lost on me. On the other hand, "Taladega Nights" looks funny as hell. This weekend I'm going to catch "A Scanner Darkly" which *finally* opens in Vancouver on Friday. Now THAT looks great. I’m not looking forward to this – at all. Sure, we all know a Dupree but that doesn’t mean I want to see an entire movie about it. It just doesn’t look funny to me.

Trailer is hilarious and I knew many Dupree's in my life....Geez I feel old saying that. I'm an Owen Wilson fan and I like Matt Dillion. So this is a go for me. I'll see it next weekend with DMC.

Owen Wilson's good, and Matt Dillon can be funny when he gets the chance, but I do wish Kate Hudson would go away. God bless her for being in 'Almost Famous', but she's been in nothing but dreck ever since. As useless and unattractive as her mother. What the hell does a goddamn manly-man and acting genius like Kurt Russell see in that woman? The mother, I mean, not ickle Kate. Maybe.
