Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Hunky Stud I have never seen the TV series, so I don't have any preformed idea about how this move should be. This movie's rating is too low for its good work, that is for sure. This is the reason why I wrote this comment.Those two main characters are pretty good looking, so they are nice just to look at. And their acting skills are not bad at all, pretty natural, not faked. Their southern accents sound real which made this movie a little more fun to watch.This movie can be timeless, because it didn't mention any special time or year. Of course, you shouldn't expect everything they did in the movie can really happen in real life. If you just watch it for the fun, then you will enjoy it as much as I did. And I also like the extra short video "Dukes in drag". It reminded me of the movie called "Sorority boys", those two Dukes looked much better than the sorority boys.

BUCKAROOBONZAI34 I grew up in the 80s, and was a loyal follower of the Dukes' TV show, so naturally I wanted to see this movie. Since it was supposed to be about the origins of the Duke boys and the General Lee I was expecting something informative and entertaining. What I got was a film about foul-mouthed teens and sexual exploitation. This is without a doubt the worst Dukes movie/show i have ever seen and I am ashamed to say I watched it. This movie was obviously aimed at the teens/young adult crowd, not that I would allow my child to go see it. The only saving grace was the above average acting of the main cast, though I'm not sure how they got Willie Nelson to be a part of this.

Robert W. As much as some people hate this straight to video sequel to the also hated 2005 remake...I much like with the remake felt rather differently. I definitely had to and tried very hard to separate these new films with original series. I didn't think the remake made such a mockery out of the original like some people thought (including members of the original cast) but this prequel really did some harsh re-tellings when it comes to the classic FAMILY original series. Now overall I don't see a problem with that. This is a new age, decades after the original series, and a re-telling, re-tooled for the new generation is probably necessary and might bring them back to the original series. That being said there was some pretty major flaws to the remake which I think were simply left to the wayside in order to make a straight to video flick that would appeal to teenage males and sell tons of copies and it will likely do that!! Director of many, many, many TV projects Bob Berlinger takes the helm for the prequel and you know what...honestly it shows. The film feels like it is made for television but Berlinger considers this his break out 'big film' so does everything in his power to do things he can't do on Television. Naked girls, foul language, slightly bigger crashes and budget constraining chases...and it's just a little overwhelming and unnecessary. He lost something at the heart of making a Dukes of Hazzard film.Now something that happened to work out pretty good was the casting. The cast was downright not bad at all. In fact some of the actors and parts were better than the 2005 remake. Jonathan Bennett plays Bo Duke and does not a bad job. The script isn't great and they tend to be poking fun and often looking a little less intelligent then they should but that being said he does a decent job. I think he does at least as good a job as Sean William Scott did. Randy Wayne does a good job as Bo's Cousin Luke Duke who is kind of more of the focus it would seem most of the time. He's got the look down, and the accent and does a pretty good job of carrying the film in most scenes. He might not be the ideal choice but he's not bad. Now as much as I loved seeing Jessica Simpson in the 2005 remake...she wasn't right for the role at all. She was simply put in there as glaringly obvious eye candy and a big name to draw in the crowds and both worked. Enter the new Miss Daisy Duke April Scott (a former Deal or No Deal Model) and I think you have someone who does a darn good job as Daisy Duke. They still glaringly use her as eye candy and doesn't really give her a big role to sink her teeth into but I think she could if they let her. She looks the part, she's beautiful, and had good chemistry with the boys. I think given a decently written part she could be a great Daisy Duke. While not perfectly cast I saw and appreciated Christopher McDonald as J.D. Hogg more than I did Burt Reynolds. I love Burt Reynolds but Boss Hogg he is NOT. McDonald was just more of a slapstick, fun, pompous Boss Hogg the way Hogg was meant to be and it was fun to watch the boys get the better of him and that's the way it should be. Once again, much like Scott's role as Daisy if they had written a better role for Harland Williams he would have shined as Roscoe P. Coltrane. He was perfect and it was terrific casting but they didn't utilize him enough or give him enough to work with. Even the relationship between McDonald's Hogg and Williams' Coltrane was better but still not utilized enough. The only returning cast member is the incomparable Willie Nelson. Nelson as Jessie is a casting point of genius. I think he was terrific in the original but underused and they definitely focused on him more in this one which is great!! He's a little less of the father figure he should be and is definitely focused on more for his criminal activities but he's still awesome as always. And finally making a much bigger appearance in this film is Cooter played by Joel Moore. I think Moore captured Cooter perfectly as the well loved, smart handyman, and loyal ally to the Dukes. He was exactly that and was a perfect fit for this cast.So having put together at the very least a decent cast that could do the job the rest should have been easy but this is where The Dukes Of Hazzard 2 loses much of it's steam. The forefront of The Dukes of Hazzard has always been and should always be The General Lee, the true star of the films, TV Series and the idea. Unfortunately it this prequel The General Lee takes a true back seat and barely makes an appearance and in fact gets wrecked more than used properly. There is one good car chase scene towards the end and a couple of smaller chase scenes but not nearly enough to support what The Dukes of Hazzard is all about. Still there is enough laughs, and jokes, and a half decent Dukes story line to make the film watchable. A particularly funny scene involves Bo and Luke and Boss Hogg's prize Hog which slips off the rooftop...hilarious. Overall it's worth seeing if you can put behind the old series and watch it for what it is and realize that this rendition is an immature, gross out comedy made for teens. 7/10

sd7767 I mean, I know it's for the money. Movie-making is a business arterial. But if they go in intending to "bilk" all the Dukes fans out there, who they know will rent or buy just because it's the Dukes, then at least stick to the proper formula. I liked American Pie too, but the crude stuff doesn't belong in a Dukes story. And what was the story, anyway? The scenes they do use seem entirely disjointed. I need to write ten lines here, so I will go on to say that I read many a user review on here, yet I post very rarely. This movie here just plain stunk. At least they didn't trash too many General Lees. But come to think of it, any more General Lees sacrificed for more lame remake movies like this are a travesty. In fact, since it's NOTHING like the real Dukes, it can't even be considered a remake anyway. I agree with many people who feel there are only one real Bo, Luke and Daisy. In fact, everyone is around except Sorrell Booke and Denver Pile. I can understand if they don't want to make another "reunion" movie, and that's okay. Just leave the General where he lays then, flying in the memory of a great TV show.
