75
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Scott Tobias
You, Me And Dupree isn't terribly democratic about spreading the laughs around; whenever Wilson disappears from the screen, the comedy evaporates in kind.

67
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Isn't a very funny movie (it preaches nonconformity in the rote style of an overlit sitcom), but Wilson, at least, keeps it afloat.

67
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
Sporadically enjoyable but instantly forgettable comedy.

63
Premiere
Melissa Farrar
Like Dupree himself, the film wears out its welcome a little, but is still entertaining.

63
Chicago Tribune
Jessica Reaves
The end product feels less funny than formulaic.

63
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Though it is not nearly as funny as last summer's "Wedding Crashers," directing brothers Joe and Anthony Russo's You, Me and Dupree has plenty of chuckles and another sparkling, post-adolescent surfer-dude performance from Owen Wilson.

63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Occasionally clicks into full-speed farce mode, but never for long - or for long enough.

63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Liam Lacey
The resolution includes an overlong and underfunny chase scene.

63
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Owen Wilson single-handedly hauls this amiable, middle-of-the-road comedy out of sheer mediocrity.

60
Variety
Justin Chang
A middling third-wheel comedy elevated a couple of notches by the ineffably weird charms of Owen Wilson.

50
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The comedy is obvious and flat while the drama is stale. They did do one thing right, however: They attracted a stellar cast.

50
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
A mess of conflicting tones and missed opportunities. The only one to emerge unscathed is Kate Hudson, who exhibits qualities she has rarely shown since her breakthrough role in "Almost Famous."

50
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
I don't mean to imply that this film is any good or that it contains an ounce of genuine insight. But as a template for the big-baby genre, it's invaluable.

50
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Doesn't aspire to be much more than a serviceable summer comedy, and the script displays the engineered precision of a theme park ride.

50
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Working with a shapeless script, directors Anthony and Joe Russo (Welcome to Collinwood) can't figure out what they're making. They lunge in several directions, but fail to get around the central problem: most of their actors have little flair for comedy.

50
Portland Oregonian
M. E. Russell
A comedy that's only kind of funny some of the time.

50
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Uncompromisingly mediocre comedy.

50
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
When the film is not focused on Wilson, it's really not focused at all. This is a comedy ever holding itself in check, filled with plot threads and asides that seem as though they should be funny but almost always fall short of the mark.

50
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Everything about You, Me and Dupree, even the toilet humor, is tepid and rigorously inoffensive

40
The New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A limp attempt to wed a romantic comedy to a buddy comedy, largely because the filmmakers see women as visitors from another planet, which is more or less what they now are in Hollywood.

40
Slate
Dana Stevens
Something about Wilson is just so comfortable, so loose, that he can make the most pointless movie seem, by moments, as if it deserves to exist. But even the presence of the Butterscotch Stallion can't sweeten this bland compendium of rom-com clichés.

40
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Little more than a showcase for Owen Wilson's amiable shtick, and a showcase in the merchandising sense of the term.
40
Austin Chronicle
Brian Clark
As far as disposable entertainment goes, it gets the job done.

38
USA Today
Claudia Puig
You, Me and Dupree is a good idea badly executed.

38
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Unofficially, You, Me and Dupree is a companion piece to last summer's "Wedding Crashers," a movie whose lunacy is desperately needed this summer.

30
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
Fails to satisfy.

30
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Artistically, You, Me and Dupree is a mess. Technically, it's an abomination. Spiritually, it's a void. Commercially, it'll probably be a big hit.

30
Village Voice
Scott Foundas
The movie goes from being another mildly depressing lump of unrealized comic potential to being an actively unpleasant experience.

25
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's just off, odd and joyless.
