Set in the "present day," the story follows Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) as they cruise around Hazzard County and wreck havoc in their classic 1969 Dodge Charger. Together with their scantily clad cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and moonshining Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), the two good old boys battle the corrupt county commissioner Boss Hog (Burt Reynolds) when he and local Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey) threaten to take away the family farm. John O'Brien has the lone writer's credit on the film, though additional uncredited rewrites were handled by the Broken Lizard gang. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Good, stupid fun.
-
Ben Walters, Time Out
Whether you find all this inane or offensive will probably depend on whether you buy the Dukes' defence of 'never meaning no harm'; either way it's pretty hard going.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
I hated this movie. It represents everything that's wrong with the studio system.
-
Eyder Peralta, Houston Chronicle
After the first chase scene, it's obvious that Scott and Knoxville don't have enough charisma to carry the film, or to even make anarchic destruction and evading the law into something if not sexy at least endearing.
-
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Like most movies based on old television shows, Dukes is all concept, with a few jokes written into its crevices.
