MPAA 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)

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

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.

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.

Mark B gave it a0:
If you like this movie, let me know so I can come and make sure you never have children. No one who enjoyed this movie should be allowed to contaminate the gene pool with progeny.

Ellen B. gave it a0:
This is hands down the worst movie I've ever seen. Somehow I managed to actually finish the movie, but after 5 minutes I wondered how anyone with even the slightest bit of intelligence could find this to be humorous.

emma gave it a10:
Dude This films rocks!!
