Dukes of Hazzard
Short plot summary

Bo (Seann William Scott), Luke (Johnny Knoxville), Daisy Duke (Jessica Simpson) and Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson) are back from the cultish TV series of the 1970's (ie not quite a culty as Starsky and Hutch).

Boss Hogg is planning to do the dirty on the population of Hazzard via the method of strip mining the place, the only hope is those moonshinin' Duke's.

Rating

Warnings: Fast car driving off ramps. Moments of hick violence involving telephone directories. For DVD viewers: Topless hot women boxing alert.

What our panel of critics thought

"I have never said yeehargh in my life, but you know something? I might just try it after this movie... Yooo rrrgh! Oh. It might need some work. It's more difficult than it looks."

"Reasonably mindless, yet it's a great drive. Just switch off your mind and enjoy the ride movie."

"Johnny Knoxville is perfectly cast."

"Daisy Duke is sex on legs. The legs ain't that bad either."

"Bo Duke in love nest with his car. STOP THE PRESSES."

"The video for These boots are made for walking made my year. Never has so much sex been on show in a music video."

"Seamless integration of CGI pragmas with live action. A CGI geeks orgasm."

"It's a Knoxville Knockout!"

Please tell me the ending. SPOILER

Boss Hogg's (Burt Reynolds) plan to divert interest in Hazzard County, while he gets a court to award him permission to strip mine Hazzard, is foiled by our heroes.

Bo Duke wins the 70th Annual Hazzard Road Rally and then goes to the court house where he meets up with Luke and a crowd to stop Boss Hogg's evil big-hatted machinations...

Are there any driving tips a 13 year old could take from this PG 13 movie ?

Tip 1: Never ever ever come to a halt without a skid - apply the hand brake just at the end.

Tip 2: When joining the highway, always take a ramp so that you can fly onto it.

Tip 3: You always get bonus points for making two police cars crash.

How many "Yee hargh's!" were there in this movie?

76.34.

How good is the Jessica Simpson video for "These boots are made for walking" ?

OH whoa, yes. Oh uhm. Oh. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-eeeeeeeeeeeeeee-eee-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-eeeeeee-eeeeeeeeeeee AAAAAAaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaa-aa-aaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aa-aaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-rrrrrrrrrrrrr-rrr-r-rrrrrrrrr-rrrrrrrrrrr-rrrrrrrrrrrr-rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-rrrrrRRRR-RRR-RRRRR-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-A! Cough.

What can I take from this movie to make me a better person?

The best "Yeehargh!" you will ever have in life is always screamed just after one of those multi-toned car horns.

How can I decorate my car appropriately after this movie?

A Hazzard County fluffy driving-wheel cover and matching fluffy dice set. (Alternative: Same but a non-matching set).

Apple bong air freshener. (You'll have to see the DVD release to get this. In the movie release Uncle Jesse, and two other characters, leave a smoke filled shed with no reference to pot.)

Real quotes from the movie
Uncle Jesse: "Give me your Goddamned driving license!" Luke Duke: "What license?"
Will there be a sequel?

Final words: "See you later..." (Hope so, it was a fun movie).

Other comments

If you like the idea of this movie then you will not be disappointed. Fast driving, crazy stunts, some very good comedy, some very sexy moments (on the DVD release that is, cert 15).

A very satisfactory updating of the almost-cult TV series.
