Good movie but grossly overrated

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

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This movie is the extreme exemple of a comedy movie that isn't funny at all If they had improved the plot , changed the silly script , chosen better actors I think we could get a 6.5 rating

Not as bad as everyone says this movie is.************************************************The first thing I notice when I read all of the negative comments about this movie, the writer always points out that he or she was a HUGE fan of the show way back when.........One of the things You have to remember is that absence makes the heart grow fonder.......and with the Dukes of Hazzard TV Show being off of the air since the mid '80's ...these people have watched reruns over and over and these probably undoubtedly remember the TV show as being far better than it actually was(or at least in their minds anyway). ******************************************************************** *I liked the Dukes of Hazzard movie. I liked the sex jokes (I was slightly disappointed that there was no serious nudity shown in the film). I thought the drug humor was indeed funny (not enough of it)BUT! ! ! ! having said that......... I also believe they could have made this same movie and not have used the "Dukes of Hazzard" name,likeness or characters .... Because I also understand that "Dukes of Hazzard" has a lot of appeal to children(mainly boys between ages 10 and 14) , and to use the Dukes of Hazzard as a show case for "Sex, Drugs, & Rock'N Roll" really isn't the message we should be giving our youths. Showing the Duke boys smoking weed and getting laid probably wasn't the right thing to do..............although I really did like this movie and thought it was very funny, I still think that they should've made this movie with it's own identify. Because this same movie could've been made without the Dukes of Hazzard name on it, and it would have been just as good.

The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) is a big screen adaptation of the Redneck loving 100% country 70s show. It stars Jonny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Jessica Simpson, Burt Reynolds, and famed country singer Willie Nelson. The plot is pretty typical of movie adaptations of classic television shows. The villain is plotting a cartoon like scheme against the protagonists. Then the good guys of course thwart the villain in a big prolonged action sequence. So yes, it is predictable. If you dislike predictable films, then you might as well stop reading. To me, the first half of the movie was a waste, it could and should have been a whole lot better. The second half is better, but still not up to the standards I personally hold films to. The positives of the film are Willie Nelson, Burt Reynolds, and the final action sequence, I thought those aspects of the film were well done. The negatives unfortunately outweigh the positives. Jessica Simpson's character, Daisy Duke, was such a waste, she could've been a clever character, but instead literally the only purpose she served was to be a sex object the male characters could ogle at and make comments about. And also another negative was the fact that there wasn't a single joke that worked here, I didn't laugh or even chuckle once, every single gag/joke feel completely flat. Overall I give it a 5/10. Like I said, mixed bag, but I personally do not recommend it.

I'm not a native southerner, but watching the original Dukes of Hazzard was a memorable and uplifting part of my childhood. The Dukes were the best of people, people who did the right thing despite the cost, people who would go all out for a stranger in need. The boys were certainly wild, but in a good way, with their hearts in the right place. Daisy was a classy, angelic lady. She never intentionally flaunted her sexuality, except for good reason (helping someone else out by providing a distraction).The Producers and Director of this POS movie turned the Duke boys into imbecilic, classless, wise-cracking, sex-crazed, frat boys. And they turned Daisy into a straight out slut.Those who liked this movie point out the original series was often corny and unsophisticated by today's standards, like a lot of 80s action shows were (Knight Rider, A- Team, AirWolf, etc.). But it was a wholesome flavor of corny, the kind that left you with a good feeling. Turning it into a bawdy roll in the filthy mud isn't an improvement. It's not even original, because that's what many series and movies are doing these days. People who support this movie over the original series are just sheep, all wanting the same, lowbrow entertainment out of their movies.If you were a fan of the original series, I'd recommend you skip this movie, as most likely, it'll only make you mad and disgusted.
