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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
Sporadically enjoyable but instantly forgettable comedy.
Read Full Review >Premiere Melissa Farrar
Like Dupree himself, the film wears out its welcome a little, but is still entertaining.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
Occasionally clicks into full-speed farce mode, but never for long - or for long enough.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey
The resolution includes an overlong and underfunny chase scene.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Owen Wilson single-handedly hauls this amiable, middle-of-the-road comedy out of sheer mediocrity.
Read Full Review >Variety Justin Chang
A middling third-wheel comedy elevated a couple of notches by the ineffably weird charms of Owen Wilson.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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."
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian M. E. Russell
A comedy that's only kind of funny some of the time.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
Everything about You, Me and Dupree, even the toilet humor, is tepid and rigorously inoffensive
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Austin Chronicle Brian Clark
As far as disposable entertainment goes, it gets the job done.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Scott Foundas
The movie goes from being another mildly depressing lump of unrealized comic potential to being an actively unpleasant experience.

Isaac B. gave it a0:
I really wanted to laugh, and I had hopes at the start of the movie since "Wedding Crashers" was so good... but this is the worst movie that Owen Wilson has even made, and Owen Wilson is a great comedian. I never laughed, and that's odd considering I like pretty much every American comedy ever made, including those of Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Adam Sandler and his bunch, Will Ferrell and his bunch, and Ben Stiller and the Frat Pack, which includes Owen Wilson.
Andy gave it a2:
Most pornos have better laughs and storylines.
Chris W. gave it a1:
There's only one good thing about this movie... Kate Hudson. She looks smokin'! Other than that, the movie is unwatchable.
Douglas H. gave it a3:
Owen Wilson is very annoying in this movie. The movie is only good for one or two laughs.
Dan A. gave it a1:
I wasted 4.99 on paying for this on PPV. It's a good thing I didn't actually buy it cause it's complete crap. All Owen Wilson does is piss you off 90% of the movie and somhow the newlyweds just dismiss all the previous mayhem he has caused and "live happily ever after" well if that was me, Owen would have been kicked out in the first 25 minutes of the movie, and the romatic comedy part really ruined it. Some good humor here and there but not much (the final blow out was the most "funny" part of the movie and maybe the flaming butter couch). Owen Wilson really needs to change his agent to get into BETTER CASTING and definately READ the script and KNOW when its a CRAP movie.
James T. gave it a4:
This pretty much the defiinition of mediocre comedy. If you like to laugh at thoughtful comedy with a good punchline or meaning don't look here, but if you like basic comedic situations based around a somewhat dragging pace then this is for your. Overall mediocre.
Eli C. gave it a4:
Watched this while trapped on a trans-Atlantic flight. Only think it has going for it is that it made the time pass.
