The laugh factor is very low in this. I’ll explain the plot crunch to you. Two dudes get slammed the night before, and wake up the next morning hung over. They then realize that their car is missing and now must go on a quest to find the car… There weren’t as much laughs as I suspected there would be. I was hoping to be in tears, yet only found myself lightly chuckle at a few parts. Ashton Kutcher is likeable in this, as he is in “That 70’s Show”. He does a good job.
I was in tears alright… but not for the reasons you think. This is… and I emphasize…A BAD MOVIE!!! First I was expecting a great comedy. Wrong. I was expecting a believable buddy movie. Wrong. Where to start? I’ll try, so bare with me. The comedy is so far-fetched and so unbelievably obnoxious, that I was poking myself in the hand to keep myself distracted and awake. I daydream alot, and when I daydream during a movie, that is not a good sign folks. There was alot of pondering with myself going on during “Dude.” It parades around with bad acting, bad comedy, and poor timing, leaving you to wonder why Hollywood or any sane director for that matter, would invest their time and money on a poorly-made, piece of tripe like this.
Dude is a real dud, folks. Sorry for the cheese ball line, but it’s true. Eventually the movie wanders away from its plot like a lost child in a mall. It starts from a potentially great premise: Two dumb guys get drunk, don’t remember, and lose their car, and must find it. Simple enough. Yet they get away from that, turning “Dude” into a campy, sleazy Sci-fi flick. Yep, you heard it. Sci-fi! These guys eventually turn a likeable word like “Dude”, into a dull, annoying word. Following close was a line that every freakin’ character in the entire movie spouted, every second. I feel dumber for wasting my time watching this. If you liked this then: Dude, where’s your brain?
