You, Me and Dupree overstays its welcome but a compilation reel of Wilson's scenes would make for fairly funny viewing.

Owen Wilson is perilously close to doing a Dupree on his own career, by wearing out his welcome.

You, Me and Dupree seems to have been made by people who don't know the difference between a light comedy and an inconsequential one.

Amiable if ragtag.

This is the worst movie Wilson has made since he graduated from being Jackie Chan's punch line.

Gifted though [the directors] may be in smaller doses, they're a long way from mastering the art of feature-length comedy.

You, Me and Dupree is an inconsistent trifle - by turns cute and annoying - and not much more.

The film is a mishmash of half-baked jokes, sitcom scenarios and Owen Wilson attempting to float by on his charm.

This is one of the worst scripts in the history of major-studio motion pictures: inconsistent, undeveloped, predictable, poorly thought-out -- hopeless on every level.

Dumb, obnoxious comedy about immature men.

While Mr. Wilson is a likeable guy in small (re: supporting) doses, a whole movie's worth of his shtick can become tiresome.

...Seth Rogen, so funny in "The 40-Year Old Virgin," gets laughs as a husband who doesn't realize he's henpecked.

If you're seeing the movie for the first time on DVD, you likely be glad you didn't pay to see You Me & Dupree in theaters. But for a relaxing and light time in front of the tube, it's just right.

The film's DVD cover begs one important question: Is this Lesley Nagy person the new Earl Dittman?

Owen Wilson just does what he does, and allows you to take it or leave it. You, Me and Dupree, then, suffers a slow start and trades too frequently in broad, garish strokes before rallying with some late atypical turns.

Wilson goes from crashing weddings to crashing newlyweds in a comedy that's as tired as week-old wedding cake.

An oddly likeable film that grows on you if you're willing to stick with it.

You, Me and Dupree AI felt was a mediocre film with a few laughs, but in the end really didn't stand out. The film is funny, but I felt that something was missing to really make it special. I felt that the film could have been much better than it turned out to be. The films content was clich� and you could see it was

I debated if this movie was even worth rating, not really. Seth Rogen's brief cameo, as I refer to it as, is the only laugh during the whole two hours
