You, Me and Dupree (Widescreen Edition)

You, Me and Dupree (Widescreen Edition) Review

At first I was perplexed saddened to see so many people give this movie negative reviews even though the plot was so strong and it is hard to argue that it wasn't funny (my funniest scene was where Kate Hudson's character Molly goes to the bathroom and finds the toilet nearly overflowing with Dupree's fecal matter...that part made me laugh nonstop for a whole minute)!! It also cracked me up at the part where Matt Dillon's character Carl tells Dupree that what he did in the bathroom and how he made Molly clean up his mess was absolutely disgusting. The other funny parts in the movie is where Molly catches Dupree masturbating while he is sleeping downstairs and he makes a mess on her face!

Dupree is temporarily living at Carl and Molly's residence and chilling on their couch until he finds a place of his own, and makes life a total 'mess' for them (he can't stay still for one minute without getting in their way) that they have to kick him out of the house when he brings people over and accidentally burns their couch down. Even after they kick him out, Molly feels sorry for him and see him get drenched in the rain and agrees to take him again. Carl thinks Dupree is falling in love with Molly and is trying to steal her away from him, and believes Molly's dad Mr. Thompson (played by Michael Douglas) is totally on Dupree's side and wants the marriage to fall apart. That leads to the strange violent scene at the dinner table where Carl chokes Dupree yelling in his face and calling him names, and where Molly's dad has to physically restrain him! There are so many funny parts in the movie that hopefully I highlighted the key ones.

This movie is so funny that you will probably want to watch it about twice a year. In my opinion this is a great comedy with wonderful actors, a well designed script, and a great story line.

You, Me and Dupree (Widescreen Edition) Specifications

There are a lot of broad comedies about men refusing to grow up, but few have the sly bite of You, Me and Dupree. Even though Carl (Matt Dillon, Crash, There's Something About Mary) is newly married to Molly (Kate Hudson, Almost Famous, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), when his best friend Dupree (Owen Wilson, Wedding Crashers, The Life Aquatic) ends up homeless, Carl invites Dupree into their house--in which Dupree promptly makes himself at home, culminating in setting the place on fire during lurid sex. But though he's trapped between his wife and his best friend, Carl may have bigger problems as his boss--and father-in-law--hates him and is sneakily working against his marriage. You, Me and Dupree seems at first glance to be a frat-boy farce about men being emasculated by their wives, but the well-written script, guided with a sure hand by director team Joe and Anthony Russo (who each directed episodes of the top-notch TV series Arrested Development), successfully walks a treacherous path between multi-layered characters and comic events, and is all the funnier as a result. Michael Douglas (Wonder Boys, Fatal Attraction) turns in a sharp, nasty performance as Molly's overly-possessive father. Also featuring Seth Rogan (The 40 Year Old Virgin). --Bret Fetzer
