How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted: 52

Fresh: 9

Rotten:43

Average Rating: 3.6/10

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. The fridge is packed with pudding, their girlfriends--"The Twins"--are ticked off, and somehow Jesse's car has disappeared. So the hapless stoners... 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.

...a stoner mystery that recycles tried and occasionally true gags specifically packaged for today’s teenage audiences, like the cheerleading squad I was sitting next to.

Dude, Where's My Car? runs a short 83-minutes and yet still feels long.

It succeeds in keeping these sub-literate goobers likable despite their painful incompetence as human beings.

Why is the refrigerator full of pudding? Why is an angry transsexual stripper chasing the boys? Why are their girlfriends so angry? And why did someone at Fox think this sitcom-style material could be developed into a feature film?
