It's trash, all right, but perfectly skewed trash -- a comedy that knows just how smart to be about just how dumb it is.

Loud, silly but kind of lame-brained fun with car chases aplenty, "Dukes" faithfully plays like an extended episode of the series, albeit with an additional gallon or so of fuel-injected raunchiness.

Movies like these should not be rated by non car enthusiasts... Just like with Tokyo Drift...

I don't believe I've ever laughed so hard at a movie as I did at The Dukes Of Hazzard. Do the math... the guy from Jackass, the guy from American Pies and Burt Reynolds (no stranger to car movie shenanigans remember. See The Cannonball Run) all in a movie version of the classic tv show. How are the Duke boys gonna get one over the local sherrif while avoiding the distractions of a cool deep south car and their sexy cousin?? This is one laugh after another. And another. Even another. If this was one of the episodes of the show that inspired it, it'd be the best episode of it easy.

It's got a few laughs and some impressive car chases, but mostly, it's just a puzzling jumble of gags and exhaust fumes.

In lieu of a movie, we get a series of car chases rudely interrupted by the occasional smattering of dialogue.

How can a movie narrated by Junior Brown and backed with wall-to-wall southern rock – a movie that at one point features co-stars Nelson and Carter tied together, surely a first in celluloid history – be so uneventful? Why, it's lazier than Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane's good-for-nothing hound dog, Flash.

So loud, so long, so dumb.

There is no wrong time to flush this turd. The only bright spot comes during the outtakes over the final credits.

I was hoping this would have been a good movie. There were some funny parts and cool scenes. Not that great of a movie though.

Crass, sometimes offensive, but most damning of all: The decent jokes can be counted on one hand and once you have seen enough repetitive car chase scenes, it is utterly boring.

15 year old me loved this movie, 29 year old me? Not so much. It offers some laughs and it terms of reboots its not the worst thing ever.
