THE DUKES is the wry comic tale of a down-and-out Doo Wop band that takes a bumbling detour into burglary in their endless quest to make good on their dreams. The film is a rollicking caper that is a...( read more  read more... )lso deeply candid about life, love, friendship and the heart it takes to keep on struggling to find meaning and connection as life takes one absurd turn after another.

Kurt Loder, MTV

Fan[s] of the ... TV series ... [will] likely want to see this just to find out if it's a travesty ... [Others, however] will surely wonder what they're doing watching this movie. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Like most movies based on old television shows, Dukes is all concept, with a few jokes written into its crevices. full review

August 5, 2005
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Motorheads who want nothing more than a handful of chase sequences may enjoy The Dukes of Hazzard, but everyone else should observe the cautionary yellow flag. full review

August 4, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A lame-brained, outdated wheeze. full review
