Daft and lovable and even kinda daring, Dude deserves its truly clueless studio's belabored support.

Reviews for Dude, Where's My Car?
The definition of aiming low is when the John Hughes film you're ripping off is Weird Science.

Top CriticClearly, Mr. Stark has the talent to sell just about anything, or else this would have never managed to have gotten past the bowels of his hard drive.
12/25/00
Gratingly unfunny.
12/19/00
Top CriticOperates in a limbo between the relentlessly moronic and the legitimately entertaining, while almost solving the vehicular existentialism suggested by its title.
12/19/00
Top CriticLess a movie than a series of randomly connected scenes that happen to fall next to each other.
12/19/00
Following these two clumsy, unpretentious doofuses as they jump from one brisk gag to another is a gentle, cozy experience, especially if you compare these harmless vignettes to the brutal and vitriolic spirit of, say, a comedy by the Farrelly brothers.
12/18/00
While dumb-guy comedy can be funny, it can also be just plain dumb.
12/18/00
Instead of sticking to its nugget of potentially inspired idiot satire ... Dude flies off on a tangent and gets way lost, dude.
12/18/00
This flick could quite possibly reduce your IQ by several points and bore you silly in the process.
12/18/00
There have been more coherent plots in pornos.
12/18/00
To call this humor politically incorrect would be to unjustly credit its creators with any sort of ideology that could then be violated.
12/18/00
Top CriticI was embarrassed that I enjoyed a movie so juvenile and stupid. But then I thought, 'Dude!' and I was OK.
12/18/00
I counted 76 usages of the word 'dude' in this movie. I noted scenes ripped off from Beavis and Butthead Do America and BASEketball. But, you know what? Who cares?!
12/18/00
A strenuously unfunny movie, weak even by the low standards of a genre that, one hopes, has finally emptied its stomach of all of its contents.
12/18/00
An almost chuckle-free mess, so amateurish and lame that the cast often has that embarrassed look you see on dogs given ridiculous haircuts.
12/18/00
Top CriticA one-joke motion picture, and that one joke rapidly grows tiresome.
12/18/00
Top CriticIt's not for fans of Beavis and Butt-head; it IS for Beavis and Butt-head.
12/18/00
A surprisingly sweet, mild-mannered movie for a teenage comedy spoof, and that's not a good thing.
12/18/00
Top CriticThe majority of its gags fall woefully flat, and its brief, 83-minute running time often seems to drag for an eternity.
