Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Jessica Simpson

Set in present day, the story follows the adventures of "good old boy" cousins, Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) Duke, who with the help of their eye-catching cousin Daisy (Jessica...( read more  read more... ) Simpson) and moonshine running Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), try and save the family farm from being destroyed by Hazzard County's corrupt commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). Their efforts constantly find the "Duke Boys" eluding authorities in "The General Lee," their famed 1969 orange Dodge Charger that keeps them one step ahead of the dimwitted antics of the small southern town's Sheriff Roscoe P.

    Much like Starsky & Hutch, this awful film has the audacity to try and remake/rejuvenate/make shit loads of money from a very fond childhood memory. I really can't think of anything good about it except for Lynda Carter, and she wasn't even given any screen time! Far too many ego...( read more)s in this one, none bigger than Jay Chandrasekhar's. When they've made a sequel, and none of the original cast members come back to star in it, you know it?s a bad film. Utter garbage! I really can't wait for the A-Team remake! *sighs*

    I loved the original series and wouldn't want to spoil my memories of it

    EDIT: and then I watched it after all and found it to be just as much fun as the original series

    A clear case of "why bother" film-making. I've not seen the original programme, but I have been exposed to pop-culture references of it for years. Dukes of Hazzard is a simple story with simple humour. Knoxville and William Scott make for a decent comedy duo but there just isn't ...( read more)enough interesting material to warrant your attention. Simpson is stunning, and her role is using her looks as a weapon. Just how she is used as part of the film. The best thing for me was spotting all the Broken Lizard cast members. Directed by one of the troupe, it is a lot of fun. Without their writing though, it just isn't funny. The only real funny part was a Super Troopers spoof. It was just nice seeing a direct copy of a scene play out slightly differently.

    It was a stupid show when my kids watched Hazzard on TV and it didn't change with this movie. The writing/story must be written to satisfy a five-year old kid (the age of my oldest when he idolized the TV show so long ago).

    The real Dukes would have never beat the hell out of the general like that. I only like the general in the movie the story sucked and the acting sucked even more and did they have to bash the general on the highway the way they did. Todays people are so pc and thin skinned that it's really sad oh boo hoo so there is a southern flag on top get over it.

    Amen to the following comment.....
    rayman0071 This was a disgrace to the original series and I know that two of the original stars of that show (John Schneider and Tom Wopat)are pissed off and madder than hell after what the producers did. I don't blame them one bit.

    Not to mention Catherine Bach,who even madder than they are. Nor for that manner James Best.

    I know Denver Pyle(Uncle Jesse)and Sorrell Brooke(Boss Hogg)are really rolling in their graves now because of this and should be. One of the worst films of 2005.



    I got to meet Sorrel Brooke in 1986 when he was at a car show with the General Lee. and He was a awesome man, awesome actor and he loved his character, Boss.
    And PLease.. Burt reynolds is NO Boss Hogg. He was tall and Skinny and there is no comparison.
    I suppose for the younger generation that wasn't raised on the series.... its a entertaining movie. But for the true fans of the originals its a disgrace.
