It was inevitable that THE DUKES OF HAZZARD would leap onto the big screen, and now, thanks to Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar (SUPER TROOPERS, CLUB DREAD), it finally has. Slipping into the boots made famous by John Schneider and Tom Wopat, Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville play moonshine-selling cousins, Bo and Luke Duke. Along with their ridiculously gorgeous cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and joke-telling Uncle Jessie (Willie Nelson), the Duke boys love to get the goat of Hazzard County's most crooked law enforcement officials, including Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey) and county commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). But when they discover that Boss Hogg is using his leverage to run them off their farm in order to turn Hazzard County into a strip mine for coal, things get personal. With the help of their faithful friends, Bo and Luke set off on their riskiest adventure yet. <br> <br> Showing his reverence for the classic 1980s show, Chandrasekhar incorporates freeze-frames, humoro...

Pros
Laughter.
Cons
Death.

Yes
I'll confess that Hamlet has never been one of my favorite plays. It's an overwrought tragedy that makes me giggle every bit as much as Romeo and Juliet. I think it's funny when Hamlet and Laertes get into a grief-contest at Ophelia's grave. I think it's funnier still when Hamlet soliloquizes with...

Pros
Uproariously bland humor. Great take on Shakespeare. Superb acting all around.

None, except maybe the itch to know which is which.

Yes
I wasn't going to write an opinion on this movie. Mainly because if you're going to like this movie, you've probably already seen it.
There is a lot of misunderstanding about this movie, and it has been overlooked. (The movie not the misunderstanding)
First off, the main joke of...

The family members always seemed to escape...

When I was growing up, I watched The Dukes of Hazzard all the time until the show was cancelled. I can’t remember when I first heard that a movie based on the show was going to be made. Since I had liked the show so much I did figure I would go see the movie. After learning who some of the actors...
