Pluskylang Great Film overall

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

FilmBuff1994 You,Me and Dupree is a very funny movie with a great cast and a good storyline.This movie isn't very well rated,especially on Rotten Tomatos where it only has 21%,I think its very underrated because I found some parts it the movie very funny with some cringe moments,like the part with the fire,that had me laughing out loud.Some moments in it reminded me of the Meet The Parents series,which I liked because I find them very funny.I really liked the films cast,especially Matt Dillon,Owen Wilson and Seth Rogen,I find them all great.Newlyweds,Molly (Kate Hudson) and Carl (Matt Dillon),a settling in there new house in the suburbs until Carl finds out that his best man,Dupree (Owen Wilson) is down on his luck and sleeping in a bar every night.Without Mollys permission,Carl lets Dupree move in with them.Dupree promises he will move out as soon as he gets a new job,which doesn't seem to be happening and Dupree overstays his welcome.

ashwinmskr This was one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. The storyline sucks so bad. And Owen Wilson is terrible ( I will never see his movies again).The story is about Dupree who loses his house and stays with his best friend who is recently married and he causes havoc in their house. He is so insensitive that he irritates you from the beginning. Kate Hudson is good but she hardly gets a chance to act. Owen Wilson is part producer of the movie and it is all about him anyways.in the climax he tries to set things right but it hardly occurs for a couple of minutes after one and half hours of torture.DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. It definitely is a MOOD SPOILER.

Movie_Muse_Reviews This is not a knock on the comedic style of Owen Wilson -- I happen to like the guy in mostly everything he's been in, but Dupree? The third wheel constant laugh-getting role is not his forte. He's always been better in tandem (think "Starsky & Hutch" and "Wedding Crashers") and in "You, Me and Dupree" he is playing comedic back-up to the "Me" role, the just- married workaholic (Matt Dillon). Wilson is doing what he does best in the film, but the character isn't strong -- or more importantly funny -- enough. We pity him more than we ever laugh at him and it turns what looks like a fun comedy into an unfunny romance movie.Dupree isn't as much pathetic as he is a "live life by your own philosophy" guy, which has made him careless and ignorant and lands him on the couch of his best friend Carl and his new wife Molly (Kate Hudson) who have just moved into their new home. Essentially, Dupree is no better than any other downtrodden best friend, disgusting brother-in-law or crazy uncle that has made for many a comedy in Hollywood over the years. The only difference is there's nothing more special about him, so when the plot predictably moves toward the dramatic (aka Dupree starts affecting Carl's marriage and things go downhill at work) there's no reason for us to really care. You've either seen it all before, or you think Dupree is this exciting, new lovable character, which means you've never seen an Owen Wilson movie.Unfortunately, not even what's supposed to be funny is funny. There are only so many obnoxious three's a crowd roommate jokes to go around: the smelly bathroom, walking in on sexual acts, destruction of the house/property ... there's nothing new here. The reason could well be that writer Michael LeSieur has no prior credits on any films or TV shows and directors Joe and Anthony Russo have only a couple handfuls of "Arrested Development" episodes under their belts. Hudson is probably the best thing about the movie. Dillon is good, but as the film becomes more about him, he seems more and more unfit for the part. Even Michael Douglas, whose out-of-place"ness" in romantic comedy alone should be good for some laughs, seems to only be playing his Gordon Gekko character from "Wall Street" as Molly's big-business, tough-love dad. Hudson, however, holds together the romance plot line. She's always been talented and her combination of sexy, dramatic and playful make her the easiest character to like. The film gets a lot of its heart from her and from Wilson, and that quality is the most redeeming one it has."You, Me and Dupree" is likable in some regards -- you have to appreciate a film that has heart and wants to tackle ideas about what love and friendship really are. Still, dozens more do it better than "Dupree" and are funnier and more original at the same time.

long-ford This is an extremely lazy slacker comedy. Owen Wilson overdoes his 'aw shucks' charm as a good for nothing who stays on as a house guest with his reluctant best friend. There are some comic moments but the film as a whole simply doesn't work. Why would anyone put up with someone as self-centered and obnoxious as Dupree? The film doesn't even bother to try. Kate Hudson looks good but has little to do. In fact, Matt Dillon and Michael Douglas, all play second fiddle to Owen. With a weak script and few laughs, this is pretty poor stuff,only watchable if you are completely bored.Overall 3/10
