You, Me and Dupree movie comments

Date: 2007-01-05 13:33:02 User: Dupree is the nightmare version of the roommate who digs into your hearth and causes chaos at every turn. He stinks up the bathroom and floods the toilets; he even manages to burn down the living room with his sexual hijinks. Carl loses his cool with his buddy, particularly when he fears his new wife seems more interested in Dupree’s feelings than his own. As Carl begins to lose everything he holds dear, his slacker buddy Dupree begins to take over his world, winning over his friends, wife and even cruel father-in-law. Date: 2007-10-04 10:45:49 User: Randy DuPree(Owen Wilson,as laid-back and off-beat as ever) is the kind of friend that people sit and talk about: a kooky,non-conventional sort who means well but finds a way to get himself or others into trouble. He's got an almost savant-like way about him,an ability to learn stuff and self-motivate,but he's also pretty much living in the moment,still knowing how to have fun. And shortly after his buddy Carl(Matt Dillon)gets married to Molly(Kate Hudson),DuPree's now in need of a home. Being almost life-long friends,Carl agrees to help out DuPree,believing he's only going to be on their hands "for a few days,until he gets back on his feet". So begins the premise of this movie,where DuPree's persona of ease clashes with the straight,upright(read:grown-up)lifestyle of his married friends. For the most part,this movie is just like DuPree himself:laid-back,funny and earnest. For the most part it works,in large part due to the fact that the principles in the story Wilson,Dillon and Hudson are able to fill their roles perfectly and play off of each other evenly. My biggest problem with the movie was the fact that it seemed like it was never too sure WHICH DuPree it was trying to bring forth:the doofy,kid-like slacker or the savant-like potential jack-of-all trades. Also,the relationship shifts in the movie were so sharp that one might be confused and/or skeptical of just how well this would play out.Directors Anthony and Joe Russo don't seem to have any problem with this,opting to go with a fast flow of jokes and character interplay. While I sorta get why this film hasn't been getting great reviews,I still think this film is a fun summer flick. I suppose if you like this DuPree character,then you're gonna appreciate this movie,because it is mostly built around him,as per the subject summary line.   You have to register to leave a comment...   Back to the You, Me and Dupree movie download page
