Dude, Where's My Car? Customer Reviews (28 - 30 of 45 Reviews)

I'd rather choke on my own vomit.
Seriously, this movie's target audience had to have been the bed wetter wing of the special needs home.

Dude, Where's My Refund?
In the glorious tradition of "Freddy Got Fingered" comes another mind-numbingly dumb attempt to make a movie that is "so stupid, it's brilliant". This one has Ashton Kutcher and Sean William Scott doing the "Keenan & Kel" routine with the word "Dude" thrown in as much as possible for good measure. If you couldn't figure it out from the title, the plot centers around the two moronic leads trying to track down their missing car. The fact that this cliche-driven mess and its non-existent script got greenlit in Hollywood tells you that perhaps the crack epidemic in the movie industry is worse than we thought. By the way, Jennifer Garner shows up for a small role as one of the bonehead's girlfriends. For shame.

Dude Is A Major Dud
The occaisional mindless comedy can be good for you. I have been known to enjoy them from time to time. Classics like Dumb And Dumber, Airplane!, and the first Austin Powers film, had little plot...and it didn't matter, because the laughs came fast and furious anyway. Dude, Where's My Car? has little plot or genuine laughs, to redeem itself. The film just wastes its very talented cast and is almost instantly forgettable.

The plot, such as it is, concerns two total loser potheads friends. Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott) who wake up, not remembering anything about the night before. Realizing that it's the anniversary of their first dates, with their girlfriends, Wanda (Jennifer Garner) and Wilma (Marla Sokoloff), the duo goes to get the gifts out of the car, only to discover it's missing.

Believe it or not, the beginning of the film, is the best part. After that, it's all down hill. Garner is wasted here in a thankless part, as is the the often funny Hal Sparks...You know you're in trouble when one of the female characters has the last name Boner (Kristy Swanson) Kutcher and Scott can be quite funny, but here are trapped by what sounds like the plot from a rejected Cheech And Chong movie. Director Danny Leiner tries (almost too hard) to keep things funny. But 20 minutes into the film...I couldn't wait for the end.

I am able to give (just barely) the DVD a two star rating, thanks to a rather suprisingly enjoyable audio commentary from Leiner, Kutcher and Scott. If only the script were this funny--things might have been different. The extended scenes aren't all that different from the final versions in the movie. The theatrical trailer, a few TV spots, a ho hum "making of" featurette, and Grand Theft Audio's video for the song "Stoopid A**", from the soundtrack, complete the extras on the disc.

As I said at the start, I don't mind the film having no real plot, but if you are not gonna be a smart comedy, then you should at least be funny. Dude Where's My Car?, is neither fun or funny, just boring
