    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 )

    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).

    I missed the start of this movie but I doubt that mattered much. This movie could be followed by an infant. The story was horrible, the performances were dreadful, the casting was awful. The most disturbing thing is how they didn't even stay true to the original. The swearing... ...( read more )

    The Dukes of Hazzard was a great movie, I even thought it was better than the TV show. It had lots of well done stunts that looked really sweet on the big screen and all the actors did a great job with this movie.

    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.
