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.

    ........Wait, this is a movie?

    The worst motion picture of all-time.

  • Directors C


    A stupid, idiotic, ridiculous film that has no reason to exist apart from to cash in on a classic TV Series. Dumb, meaningless fun when your bored at best.

  • Jeff "


    Immense failure of capturing what was good about the original TV show, this film adaptation of The Dukes of Hazzard is a terrible mess of a film that doesn't work whatsoever, and is a very poor attempt at trying to make a good comedy. I hated this film and it was a waste of time.… More
