• The Dukes of Hazzard [2005]

  RM EVANS 14 January 2006

  

  Bad news guys, it's not as good as you remember. Although if you've caught any of the re-runs of the TV series on Bravo lately, then you'll know the memory can play cruel tricks on you.
  Remember when Bo & Luke seemed like the coolest dudes around? Remember when Daisy was the hottest girl? Remember when the General Lee was the best car imaginable? Remember the Boss Hog/Sheriff Coltrane banter was just the funniest thing?
  Well time to wise up - odds are you were 10 at the time and you've moved on a bit since, unlike the film.
  Everything is still there that you remember but now with a little polish on it. This film however just disappoints - maybe if you are 10 then yeah, it's a great film, but then why is so much of the humour pitched at an adult audience?
  It's a bad mix alround. Add the cringeworthy acting of Jessica Simpson (she sure is purdy though), the faltering buddy relationship between Knoxville & SWS (I like them both, but it doesnt work here) and the hideous miscasting of Reynolds and you've got a big turkey on your hands..
  Buy at your peril - the outtakes during the credits being the best thing..

Action comedy based on the hit television series that ran from 1979-85. Set in present day, the film follows the adventures of 'good old boy' cousins Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) Duke, who with the help of their eye-catching cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and moonshine-running Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), try and save the family farm from being destroyed by Hazzard County's corrupt commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). Their efforts constantly find the 'Duke Boys' eluding authorities in 'The General Lee', their famed 1969 orange Dodge Charger that keeps them one step ahead of the dimwitted antics of the small southern town's Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey).

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play Cousins Bo and Luke Duke with a little help from their cousin Daisy and Uncle Jesse egg on the authorities of Hazzard County Boss Hogg and Sheriff Coltrane
