Interesteg What makes it different from others?
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Python Hyena You, Me and Dupree (2006): Dir: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo / Cast: Owen Wilson, Matt Dillon, Kate Hudson, Michael Douglas, Lance Armstrong: Total bore fest about intrusion as recently married Carl and Molly house a lazy and irresponsible lout who wrecks havoc on their lifestyle. The trailer contains the few laughs existing in this sitcom exercise. It took two directors to make this trash. Anthony and Joe Russo for whatever reason conceal the identity of a woman set up on a date turned disaster and it is never capitalized upon. Why didn't they show her face? Perhaps she read the script and wanted spared the embarrassment. Owen Wilson mugs every scene he is in as he unintentionally destroys the home of this couple. Matt Dillon plays Carl as if his testicles were in a vice grip. Kate Hudson as Molly goes from frustrated to downright sympathetic to the actions of Dupree. Michael Douglas is wasted as her father who dislikes Carl. You would think that he would dislike the script too, but whatever. Lance Armstrong plays himself and he picked the stupidest project to get his face recognized in. Theme regards the gradual change between the Dupree lifestyle and a devoted marriage. Unfortunately the screenplay didn't have as much thought go into it as the idea behind it. At one point Dupree watches Roman Holiday. That is much better than what he was actually in. Score: 1 / 10
tanelteder A great romantic comedy? Never. This is so awful it makes you wanna close your eyes. I feel for people who actually paid to see this. This is something that you feel excited about but in the end you wish you never were. Disappointment. Owen Wilson is quite a funny actor. He has done good job with many roles but he has done a disservice for himself here. Just terrible, not even close to funny. Kate Hudson is a sweet girl. It's sad to see her in this movie. And how in the earth they got Michael Douglas to play in this wanna-be comedy?Listen to me, don't watch this movie. This is a favor to you. You gonna thank me later. I'm serious. Just like your face if you still decide to see that.
Jackson Booth-Millard From brother directors Joe and Anthony Russo (Welcome to Collinwood), I recognised this comedy film mainly because of the star playing the title character, so I had to give it a go. Basically Molly (Kate Hudson) and Carl (Matt Dillon) have recently got married, and they plan to settle very quickly in a new house with good careers. Carl however has his best friend (and best man) Randy Dupree (Owen Wilson) telling him he has just lost his job because of attending the wedding, and he is homeless. Carl decides to let Dupree stay with him until he can get back on his feet, which doesn't please Molly, and within a few days he is causing nothing but trouble. Dupree is also outstaying his welcome by being lazy and not looking often enough for a job, and dating a mysterious librarian girl. While Molly has to put up with her husband's best friend, well, she does get used to it, Carl is trying to get used to his overpowering father-in-law Mr. Thompson (Michael Douglas) who wants Molly to keep her maiden name and for herself and possible children, don't worry, everything is settled in the end. Also starring Seth Rogen as Neil, Amanda Detmer as Annie, Ralph Ting as Toshi, Knocked Up's Bill Hader as Mark and Lance Armstrong. Wilson manages to captivate with appearances in films like Zoolander and Meet the Parents, and while he doesn't fail to make laughs, it's not enough to carry the film fully, same with Hudson and Dillon, but it's not bad. Okay!
long-ford This is an extremely lazy slacker comedy. Owen Wilson overdoes his 'aw shucks' charm as a good for nothing who stays on as a house guest with his reluctant best friend. There are some comic moments but the film as a whole simply doesn't work. Why would anyone put up with someone as self-centered and obnoxious as Dupree? The film doesn't even bother to try. Kate Hudson looks good but has little to do. In fact, Matt Dillon and Michael Douglas, all play second fiddle to Owen. With a weak script and few laughs, this is pretty poor stuff,only watchable if you are completely bored.Overall 3/10
