The Dukes of Hazzard is a cheap, greasy time at the multiplex.

Consensus: A dumb, goofy, and vacuous adaptation of a TV show where plot is simply an excuse to string together the car chases.
Theatrical Release:Aug 5, 2005 Wide
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
Top CriticThere's a stink coming off the big-screen Dukes of Hazzard that even fans of the TV series (1979 to 1985) won't be able to shake out of their nostrils.

Top Criticcan't decide whether it's saluting the series or spoofing it. ...the yee-haws start to give way to yawns...

It's not intolerable or offensive so much as it is just plain stupid.
08/05/05
This foolhardy Hazzard upgrade may be appealing to its TV fans. Or it could just remind you how ridiculous it was the show ran for six seasons in the first place.

'When I sit down, I say, When shall I arise and the Dukes be gone? And I am full of tossings to and fro unto the ending of the movie.'--not Job 7:4

Will the boys fall into Boss Hogg's trap? How will they get past the roadblock?

Over here, Dukes. Park the General Lee in the weeds between the big-screen Beverly Hillbillies jalopy and the McHale's Navy PT-73.

When a movie’s misogyny is battling its racism for screen time, you know the project is in trouble.
08/05/05
Escapist entertainment, but little else.
08/05/05
It boasts a few good laughs, a few cool action sequences and a few gratuitous eye candy shots that will have Nick Lachey punching holes in a wall.

This isn't the Hazzard County I remember.
08/05/05
Two dudes and a cool car isn't a lot to base a TV show (much less a movie) on, and it's no more substantial here.
08/05/05
For some reason people in Massachusetts are supposed to be ashamed of being educated, but the people of Georgia are to be proud of their rural morons.
08/05/05
Bo and Luke Duke were better off when they were replaced by two other unknown cousins for a season than they are being played by Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville.
08/05/05
Considering how funny it could have been -- either as a faithful big-screen adaptation or as a winking parody -- this sloppy mix of both styles is a disappointment.
08/04/05
I really didn’t mind Dukes of Hazzard. It’s just a whole movie of almost getting somewhere but staying a little bit behind.
08/04/05
Injecting enough solid laughs and car chases to make Dukes precisely what it is – an uncomplicated Friday night distraction.
08/04/05
Anyone who doesn't love the Dukes and their repetitive adventures won't find much of interest, and anyone who does is better off watching old episodes on CMT.
08/04/05
The remake truly represents the most evil of Hollywood ideals, and tarnishes a south-of-the-border television treat that is still standing over 25 years later.
