Plots(1)
Set in present day, The Dukes of Hazzard 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). (official distributor synopsis)

A redneck comedy that is not funny except for two or three moments. Apart from some very decent car chases, it doesn't have much to offer, and even the chases in the "racist" car aren't enough to pull this dragging B-movie at least into the waters of average.

Hi, I'm an awkward rural American comedy and I'm very glad that my reruns are played so often. And it really doesn't matter that it's the 2,000,000th remake of a remake and that it's riding the wave of the 1970s are sexy again after the year 2000.

The awfully naive script has a lot of feeling, and I couldn't help grinning bitterly at the happy ending, but what does it matter when Knoxville, Scott and their souped-up General Lee have the gas pedal pressed firmly to the floor at all times, stopping only by a room full of undressed university students? I had a great time, the chases were great and Jessica Simpson needs no comment...

Points for Jessica, who is incredibly sexy here, points for... well, it's nice that Burt Reynolds is here and one knows he's alive, although it's been some time since the film was made. But otherwise, this comedy just didn't impress me. Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott seem like an interesting duo, but here they bothered me.
