Folks from this side of the Mason-Dixon line may be more forgiving of this sometimes fun, if often mindless, bit of entertainment.

Consensus: A dumb, goofy, and vacuous adaptation of a TV show where plot is simply an excuse to string together the car chases.

Box Office: $80,206,743
Synopsis: It was inevitable that THE DUKES OF HAZZARD would leap onto the big screen, and now, thanks to Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar (SUPER TROOPERS, CLUB DREAD), it finally has. Slipping into the... [More]

Reviews for The Dukes of Hazzard
Even as a non-fan of the series, I am fairly certain that the original was never quite as low as this obnoxious celebration of stupidity.

... a barely-entertaining light action adventure with glimpses of the fun that could have been had.

A coupla times this here's kinda funny. But the rest of the time it's dadburn dumb
08/09/05
The Dukes of Hazzard is a movie in the sense that it is composed of recorded events, gets projected on a screen, and can be viewed as a continuum.

This movie is hazardous to your entertainment health

I hated this movie. It represents everything that’s wrong with the studio system.

Top CriticMovie-goers would be better off spending their movie ticket money on the DVD box set of the television series.

A raunchy Hazzard. Lame-brained but unpretentious fun.
08/08/05
Sure, it's simple but for a longtime Dukes of Hazzard fan, it's a funny and nostalgic dose of Southern comfort.

The biggest hurdle for The Dukes of Hazzard is that the humor is extremely hit-or-miss.
08/07/05
After the first chase scene, it's obvious that Scott and Knoxville don't have enough charisma to carry the film, or to even make anarchic destruction and evading the law into something if not sexy at least endearing.

There's just not much going on in these 106 minutes of ain't-it-cool quasi-nostalgia.

Car crashes!!! Wowzers! Then we get to see Daisy in a bikini in order to sexually harass the cops. How cute!!!

Who can forget Jessica Simpson? You will, if you’re lucky.
08/07/05
Bringing this hit TV show to the big screen must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Too bad it didn't work out.

Should be called Dukes of Hazardous to your health if you're forced to watch it.
08/06/05
The Dukes of Hazzard does such a textbook job of pandering to Bubba Q. Public that it ought to run for political office.
08/05/05
Like most movies based on old television shows, Dukes is all concept, with a few jokes written into its crevices.
