A weird, moonshine-and- marijuana-fueled yee-haw fest based on the '80s TV show.

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
It's as dumb as a bag of hammers and as cheesy as, well, macaroni and cheese. But it's a movie that knows how inconsequential it is at the outset and doesn't care much whether you can party with it or not.

Top CriticAs a salvo in the culture wars, Dukes of Hazzard is a dud, and as an actual movie it doesn’t rate much higher.
08/04/05
It's every bit as bad as you thought it'd be. Only worse.
08/04/05
Top CriticA lame-brained, outdated wheeze.
08/04/05
Top Critic...offers the same nostalgia value as using the theme song as your ring tone.
08/04/05
The Balladeer always sang that the mountain might get the Duke boys someday. With this movie, they crash the General Lee into it and explode.
08/04/05
A lapdance, a fifth of cheap whiskey, and a lube job would offer the same elements and be a hell of a lot more fun.
08/04/05
Bound to make you smile, even if you do feel guilty about it afterwards.
08/04/05
Even as the film tediously tends to its arbitrary plot, Chandrasekhar displays almost oneiric reverence for the iconography of the TV show.
08/03/05
Heck, suck the exhaust fumes from a 1969 orange Dodge Charger. But whatever you do, no matter how big a fan you were of the show, do yourself a favor by skipping the movie.
08/03/05
Super Troopers, Club Dread, and now this. Chandrasekhar cannot be stopped.
08/03/05
Crass and obnoxious where the show was affable and even rather sweet-natured.
08/03/05
A comedy that knows just how smart to be about just how dumb it is.
08/03/05
Top CriticB-movie pabulum within an A-level marketing plan.
08/03/05
Burt Reynolds fired his agent after Boogie Nights. If he has a lick of sense in his head, he'll kill his agent after Dukes of Hazzard.
08/02/05
Too much blah-blah, not enough 'Yeeehawww!'
08/02/05
“The Dukes” are back… and the film happily hits the right balance between stupid and fun: you know, everything we loved about the television show.
08/02/05
Assuming that someone was determined to remake this mediocre but iconic TV show, this is probably as good as it's going to get.
08/02/05
Top CriticHerbie for adults.
