Year: 2005
Director: Jay Chandrasekhar
Plot: The General Lee is back and so are the Duke boys in this big-screen adaptation of the hit TV series, brought to you by Jay Chandrasekhar of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe. Set in the "present day," the story follows Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) as they cruise around Hazzard County and wreck havoc in their classic 1969 Dodge Charger. Together with their scantily clad cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and moonshining Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), the two good old boys battle the corrupt county commissioner Boss Hog (Burt Reynolds) when he and local Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey) threaten to take away the family farm. John O'Brien has the lone writer's credit on the film, though additional uncredited rewrites were handled by the Broken Lizard gang. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide

Body: "Bo Duke" (Seann William Scott) and his cousin "Luke" (Johnny Knoxville) are two of "Hazzard County's" well liked "Duke" clan. But they are not as well liked by the crooked county commissioner "Boss Jefferson Davis 'JD' Hogg" (Burt Reynolds) and county sheriff "Roscoe P. Coltrane" (MC Gainey). While "Hazzard County" is gearing up for a huge car race, headlined by local favorites "Bo" and "Billy Picket" (James Roday), "Boss Hogg" is scheming to turn "Hazzard County" into a huge strip mine. And the first thing he does to get his plans rolling is to evict the Dukes from their family farm, headed by the joke-cracking moonshiner "Uncle Jesse Duke" (Country music legend Willie Nelson). The plot of the movie has the feel of the classic TV series, which critics hated, but the fans loved for years. In fact, much of the plot and characters, most of which were miscast, has the feel of the TV series. However, one of the biggest problems to this movie is that the writer tried to make it different from the TV series. Knoxville and Scott have chemistry that is almost as good as Tom Wopat (TV's "Luke Duke) and John Schnider (TV's "Bo Duke"), but they, like the rest of the cast, are missing something the TV cast had. Another problem with the characters is that many of them are written dramatically different from their TV counterparts -- especially "Roscoe," "Uncle Jesse" and "Boss Hogg". The majority of the supporting cast is downright lousy. There is little development in them, or they are written totally different from the TV versions. Another problem with the supporting cast is that the actors are totally wrong for the characters. Two main characters that are totally wrong are "Roscoe" and "Boss Hogg". In the TV series, they were bumbling goofs. Reynolds plays "Boss Hogg" as a devious, money-hungry elected official who would steal candy from a baby, but he lacks the comedic characteristics the late Sorell Brooke brought to the same character on TV. Gainey also plays "Roscoe" wrong, and just not all that good in the role. Nelson, who does a fair cover of the classic TV theme song at the end of the movie that misses the upbeat tempo of the original tune, also fails at bringing "Uncle Jesse" to the silver screen. Pop singer Jessica Simpson, who is one of the few authentic southerners in this film, is pretty weak in bringing "Daisy Duke" to the big screen. However, she does pretty much nail the charm Cathrine Bach brought to the same character on TV. For the most part, Simpson is eye candy. Lynda Carter, best known for her role as "Wonder Woman" on television, plays the "Duke" family friend "Pauline." I don't recall any character like "Pauline" in the television series, but she is written like the rest of the characters as if she is suppose to be known to the audience. There is no development in this character at all from what I can see. One drastic difference is the movie's soundtrack. It's typical movie music, and works well. However, the TV series had an instrumental country soundtrack in every episode. It would have been a more accurate interpretation if the soundtrack had an instrumental soundtrack. Like in every episode of the original television series, the "General Lee," which looks very different when it makes its first big screen appearance due to the famed "01" on the door is slightly different than what fans are use to seeing, can move on the streets and back roads of "Hazzard County". The only problem with the movie "General Lee" is that "Bo's" love for it is played way too obsessive in an attempt for some comedy which falls flat. "Hazzard" also just doesn't feel right. The TV version had buildings that were very close together with a nice looking town center. The movie version is sparce and just doesn't look good. For those who remember the original television series which this movie is based on, be thankful it's on CMT and on DVD because this movie is not The Dukes of Hazzard. However, the storyline is one of the few things that has the feel of the TV series. This is not one I would add to my collection unless all the other movies I want are sold out.

Body: i like this movie the star of this one is a car i dont know if its ever done other films but it looks like a natural on screen it jumps really good in the action shots but even when its in the garage for a tune up it gives a convincing performance the only problem i had was there was a tv show called the dukes of hazzard that was also about a car and i think they might have ripped off the idea but other than that its a class act all the way so burn rubber and haul ass down to the nearest video store and ask for the one about the car

Body: One of my fondest childhood memories is from when I was very young - every Friday night, my parents and I would get takeout from the best Chinese restaurant in Chicago (I was born there) - I do not know if the restaurant still exists, but I still remember the name of the place and the perfection of their BBQ pork & shrimp foo young (my 2 faves from there) and I have not had food from there since I was 7 or 8 (I'm 31 now) - that's how good it was...I digress. Every week, we'd bring our Chinese feast home and watch Friday night TV together, as a family - "Dukes of Hazzard", "The Hulk", and "Wonder Woman", if I'm not mistaken (maybe "The Six Million Dollar Man" was part of the Friday night lineup and either "The Hulk" or "Wonder Woman" was not). I feel that Hollywood relies too heavily on remakes as it is, but I just was appalled when I learned that they cast Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke for this movie - Daisy Duke is a brunette and she has a nice ass; Jessica Simpson didn't dye her hair and I don't see the point of having her wear Daisy Dukes - a nonexistent ass does not equal nice. Did we not learn from Goldilocks and the Three Bears that some things have to be not too big or too small but "just right"?
