Ey Mann, wo is' mein Auto?

Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott) are stoner roommates with a huge problem. Unhappily, they cannot remember what happened the night before and their sorry-state-of-a-car is gone. As they go through the day, they try to piece together what happened. First, they know there was a party at their twin girlfriends' (Jennifer Garner and Marla Sokoloff) house, something which has ticked off the gals mightily as the abode is trashed. J and C realize they must make it up to these ladies, as it is their anniversary and the girls have promised a "sweet reward" if they come bearing gifts. But, other events in their "lost" day include a trip to a strip club, a major theft of funds by the lads, an encounter with a weird group waiting for aliens, and more. In fact, the nutsy group believes Jesse and Chester have stolen a magic device from the aliens that they would like back. There are others trailing the dudes, very angry about matters the lads can't remember. Can these two airheads get things squared away with everyone and move on? Can they find their car? This funny but crude film will make some laugh, others cringe. But, in truth, the Hangover owes a huge debt to the basic premise of the movie; weird events go down when you are too "out of it" to know what you are doing. Kutcher and Scott are terrific as the intelligence-challenged dudes and the rest of the cast if great, too. The script delivers some bonafide guffaws while the direction is lively. If you want mindless entertainment, Dude certainly bestows it.

In spite of the low rating here I figured I'd watch this, since I remember liking the trailer, and it's a funny, amiable, purposely dumb movie that, while not quite as funny as dumb movies Bill & Ted or Wayne's World is still quite amusing. It's got a good idea in which two very dumb guys trying to reconstruct the previous drunken evening discover clues to increasingly bizarre incidents. It's hit more than miss, and while it begins a bit slowly it gets up to speed reasonably fast. What keeps it from being a great dumb movie is that the various elements introduced don't really build on each other. Ideally each new revelation should have upped the wackiness level and felt like it had an insane sort of insane logic behind it, but it's more like you say, ah, that's a cute idea, without getting a sense of any real momentum. The movie feels like a shaggy dog tale, but that's fine, I really enjoyed it.

Let me begin by saying that I don't like things like "Scary Movie," I consider the wasted time I spent on "Corky Romano" to be probably the most depressing 90 minutes of my life, and I intentionally avoid watching garbage like "Jurassic Park III" so that when people at my video store ask for a recommendation I can't give it. All of that being said, I thought "Dude, Where's My Car?" was hilarious.

There is a very big difference between this movie and things like "Joe Dirt" (which is rented way too often for me to still believe in human intelligence). The difference is that "Dude, Where's My Car" knows full well that it's stupid. Most bad comedies like to masquerade as an actual film, but this one was written with the mentality of creating the absolute stupidest movie ever created. It takes intelligence to be this amazingly dumb and, by virtue of new levels of moronic entertainment, original.

There are numerous jokes about drugs (which occasionally wore on me), lots of jokes about the female anatomy, and the two idiots to end all idiots. On my first watching the initial twenty minutes were painful, but it was all so ridiculous and stupid that I couldn't help but laugh. This isn't "Annie Hall" or Monty Python, and it knows it. And that's why it's so freaking funny. 7/10

I really enjoyed this movie I had fun movie. Just don't expect a great movie but I had fun. Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott wear the beat part in this movie.

I appreciate a good film, I dig Citizen Kane, Kubrick, David Lynch..etc. There should be no feasable reason that I find this movie appealing, yet I do! I'm not a moron, but this dumb, dumb, movie is so watchable it's a crime not to grab a tub of popcorn, a couple beers and dumb out for an hour and a half and see this one. You'll lose a few IQ points on the way, but it's worth it.
