How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:53

Fresh:10

Rotten:43

Average Rating:3.8/10

Consensus: The movie isn't funny, the plot is too thin, and the production values feel more like a TV sitcom than a movie.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] language and some sex and drug-related humor

Runtime: 83 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Dec 15, 2000 Wide

Box Office: $44,992,961

Synopsis: Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott) got really wasted last night.

Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott) got really wasted last night. The fridge is packed with pudding, their girlfriends--"The Twins"--are ticked off, and somehow Jesse's car has disappeared. So the hapless stoners set out to find the car, which happens to have their girlfriends' anniversary presents in it. But they soon discover that losing the car isn't half the story. High school hottie Christie (Kristy Swanson) is mysteriously hot for Jesse, Chester is a favorite customer at the local topless club, and they owe a suitcase full of money to a transvestite stripper. On top of all that, they're being pursued by a minivan full of geeks, horny "space babes," and a couple of "totally gay" Scandinavian dudes--all trying to find the "continuum transfunctioner," the device that can save or destroy the universe. Duuude.... DUDE's comic formula is pretty simple: throw the dudes in one bizarre situation after another and watch them goof their way out. Given the movie's PG-13 rating, it all lands on the lighter side of the teen-comedy spectrum, and if angry ostriches, donut-loving cops, a 50-foot bimbo in a miniskirt, and a pot-smoking dog sound like a good combo, DUDE has got a deal for you.

Predictable jokes can be funny, but Dude has a habit of repeating them over and over until the humor has been bled dry.

I know a movie like Dude is geared for brainless laughs, but shouldn't some thought have been invested in making it?

Enjoy this flick for what it is: stupid fun with a couple of stupid guys.

[A] dismal, mirthless clunker of a movie, the like of which really hasn't been seen since the heyday of the American International cheapies of the late 1950s.

Pic is transparently thin -- even at just 83 minutes, it feels desperately padded -- but fitfully amusing.

The stupidity and the failed gags start piling up, and Dude, Where's My Car? becomes just another lame slacker comedy.

One's tolerance for strictly juvenile humor will decide what other age frame might enjoy such fodder.
