Summary

RATING: PG-13 for language and some sex and drug-related humor

Starring Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott, Kristy Swanson, Jennifer Garner, and Marla Sokoloff

Last night, two party-hearty Dudes had an unbelievably sweet time. Too bad, they can't remember a thing, including where they parked their car. So, the Dudes embark on a mission: retrace their steps to find out what they did last night (and who they did it to), hoping it will lead them to the missing car. Little do the Dudes know, they're in for the ride of their lives. (20th Century Fox)

Village Voice Jessica Winter

My friend even supplied a blurbable quote: "The best dumbass-buddy comedy I've seen since "Wayne's World!"

The New York Times Stephen Holden

Tasteless at times, but where's the yuck?

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

What holds the movie together -- albeit tenuously -- is the surprisingly sweet-natured pairing of Jesse and Chester.

Los Angeles Times Ernesto Lechner

There's a benign, peace-loving air about it all that forces you to accept and embrace the film's two central characters.

Just another lame slacker comedy.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

Writer Philip Stark ("That '70s Show") and director Danny Leiner ("Freaks and Geeks") apply mature comic instincts to an adolescent genre.

Variety Joe Leydon

Aimed squarely at adolescents who might find "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" too intellectually taxing.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

A film where everyone -- white, black, gay or otherwise -- is equally, lovably dumb.

TV Guide Steve Simels

If you accept the film on its own brain-damaged level, there actually are laughs to be had.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

An almost chuckle-free mess, so amateurish and lame that the cast often has that embarrassed look you see on dogs given ridiculous haircuts.

25

Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder

At the end of 83 unmerciful minutes, audiences will be exclaiming, "Dude, I can't believe I sat through that movie!?" Stick to the trailer.

USA Today Staff [Not Credited]

Any civilization that can produce a movie this stupid probably deserves to be hit by famine and pestilence.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

The definition of aiming low is when the John Hughes film you're ripping off is ''Weird Science."

TNT RoughCut Andy Klein

In the real audience with which I watched it, the only laughs were from kids under eight or nine, mostly at hilarious "hooter" jokes.

Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov

Dude, your movie sucks.

None, repeat, none of this is funny.

Kevin M gave it an8:
I really hope nobody expected something deep or even a point from this movie. Also if you're not completely dead inside like Mark B., you might find this to be one for your list of 20 funniest screwball comedies you've ever seen.

Why Not? gave it a5:
Okay, so "Dude, Where's My Car?" may not be the best film of the past decade. So what? It's not like there aren't movies WORSE than this -- there are plenty. The plotline seemed a little confusing to me -- who are the German guys? -- but the characters are lovable doofuses. I did find myself laughing a couple times, but I didn't particularly like how almost every part of the movie centered on the main characters' stupidity. Overall, I feel that the movie was average. It's no masterpiece, but it's okay for a laugh on a boring day. I give this movie a 53/100.

Rahul D gave it a0:
I don't see why people enjoy this. It was the worst comedy I have ever seen. If you want to watch a "stupid" but funny comedy, try Zoolander or even Harold and Kumar.

Rob Y. gave it a9:
if you didnt like this movie your probably a boring old fart it is hilarious. what makes it good is that its stupid

Sean C. gave it a9:
If you didn't like it, you didn't get it.

Tim R. gave it a10:
The best and funny movie EVER.

cory l. gave it a10:
