Very best movie i ever watch
... View Morejust watch it!
... View Moregood back-story, and good acting
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreThe dukes and all of their friends return to Hazzard county for a reunion festival, and have new adventures which include a predictable plot about a greedy woman who wants to buy Uncle Jesse's land, and plenty of car chases. Despite aging and deceased actors, this movie manages to retain most of it's original style. The characters still act like you would expect them to, and the action is as entertaining as ever. A special kudos can go out to the casting department for getting all of the original actors they could, and not trying to cover up Sorrell Burke's death by having another actor play Boss Hogg. That's pretty much all the good I can say for this movie. Other than that, Roscoe Coltrane just isn't as funny without his "little fat buddy" around to constantly harass and degrade him. It's not quite as funny to see him as the new "boss", although it is fitting for his character. Seeing him as a dimwitted sheriff was funnier. The other characters work better, but it's hard to see Denver Pyle struggle to say his lines with his impending death of lung cancer. And now the major flaw-Political Correctness. This movie, like many other TV shows and movies from the 90s, was injected with an overdose of pc. The "Tough Man" contest is changed to the "Tough Person" contest, there is a 100 pound blonde female wrestler who physically harms at least half the male cast, including her boyfriend, which Daisy seems to think is a victory for all women everywhere. The bad woman basically turns good in the end to avoid being arrested, while her male underlings learn nothing and are abused as a consequence. (One guy is even taken for a ride in the trunk of the General Lee. And in the end, Daisy decides not to marry poor Enos at their Wedding, just because she basically didn't feel like it. What a cop out! Geez, they might as well have removed the confederate flag from the General Lee!But the worst part is, there really isn't a whole lot of laughs. What made the original series so funny was Boss Hogg and Roscoe's banter- which, like I said before, can't be found in this movie. Anyhow, long-time fans who don't mind the PC, and are really interested in seeing what happened to the characters may find it entertaining. To anybody else, it's just a dumb, dumb movie.
... View MoreI am a huge fan of the TV show, and as this movie was so similar, I enjoyed almost every minute of it. It was great to see Luke and Bo back and looking great - still the same old boys! Daisy was wonderful -a strong woman and still a lovely one. Enos came back! YAY! He and Daisy finally hooked up! YAY! Roscoe was himself too! Uncle Jesse was great as the head of the family - he will be missed. As is Boss - the pseudo-villainy of the man was missing from this, but Roscoe followed in his footsteps well.Warning: HERE BE SPOILERS!!! What I didn't like was that Daisy seemed to be flaky at the end. I never got that out of the TV show, and I really didn't think that she would break Enos' heart like that; just saying that she can't go through with the wedding because she saw her ex. She ought to know Enos is not like her ex. He was wonderful as the still loyal man.And my only question is - when are Bo and Luke going to get hitched? Some lucky girl out there is waiting to be a Mrs. Duke.
... View MoreTom Wopat and John Schneider revive their 80's characters as, once again, the "Good Ol' Boys" rise up against corruption in the South, this time in the form of a businesswoman (Stevens), with the help of some friends from the old series.You know, I grew up in the Dukes' era, and I was mildly surprised at how good of a job director Lewis Teague did with this film. I know that the original series has some corny plots by what we see nowadays, but, for those of us who grew up in that time, there wasn't one of us alive who enjoyed the original series without picturing themselves behind the wheel of the General Lee. (I had to mention the car - after all, it was the car(s) that made the jump, not those boys.) A little older, perhaps, but the actors walked in and picked up on their original characters like they've been doing them for the last twenty years.
... View MoreIt is quite rare for a TV reunion movie to be as good as a series itself but this Dukes of Hazzard movie was great.The original Dukes of Hazzard series was just plain fun-it was the type of show anyone could enjoy. This movie recreated the magic of the original series and even though the stars were a lot older that made absolutely no difference to me-I still liked them and they were still convincing in their roles.The movie may not have had Boss Hogg in but to it's credit they did acknowledge Boss Hogg unlike some TV reunion movies which seem to forget certain characters.A great film which will be loved by fans of the TV series.
