Plot: 6 out of 10
Believe it or not there was a plot to this film...just not a very good one. The premise is simple...and unless you are an idiot that doesn't speak English you can pretty much figure it out. Guy lost car...guy needs to find it.
okay...A little bit more in-depth.
Jesse and Chester wake up just like they do every morning...only there is a couple of things that are out of place. The first being the life time supply of pudding in their refrigerator and cabinets. They both laugh it off simply thinking that they must have had a killer time...I mean not only did they get a life time supply of pudding...but they didn't remember buying it. Then as the two are sitting around their house they get a call from their girlfriends, "The Twins." The girls are unbelievably angry yelling into the answering machine how the guys ruined their house, and that they are "sucky boyfriends." Then the twins add the worst part of the message... "and you probably forgot our anniversary today!"
At first this upsets Jesse and Chester, but then they remember that they bought gifts for the twins and they put them.......................in the car. D'oh!!! So the two guys get dressed and leave to go over the twins house, only as they walk out they can't find the car. So they decide to walk and try to find the car so they can patch it up with their girlfriends. What follows is Jesse and Chester re-discovering all of the events from the night before. Every time the guys think they have a handle on what they did, something else gets thrown into the mix, but rest assure, alls well that ends well.
Humor: 6 out of 10
I LAUGHED. There I said it, now I can bow my head down. Okay but it wasn't because the movie was comic genius or anything. It was right up my alley. I love projects that are made for no other reason other then being stupid. Every joke that was made was completely run into the ground. A good joke always has three phases. 1. Funny 2. The teller drug it out too long, and 3. Despite people thinking the joke was over the teller didn't stop they added to it a little more and then the joke is funny all over again because of the stupidity of the person telling it.
Every one has seen a movie where one...maybe two jokes have hit stage three...but in Dude, where's my car? There wasn't a joke that was not pulled out to stage three. And I respect the movie makers for willing to put that on the line in hopes it would work.
Secondly the movie was funny because of the randomness. It was like someone sat down and said, "We are going to make the stupidest and most unrealistic plot ever. And a monkey...we have to incorporate a monkey or the film wont be worth making" And at least once you will see a monkey...could it be any better?
Setting: 5 out of 10
There was nothing special about the Dude Where's My Car? setting. I will say that the scene of the Twins house being trashed was perfect though. I also like the re-trashing of the clean interior of the Twins house. Other than that it was nothing special.
Originality: 5 out of 10
TEEN FILM!!! 'nuff said.
Cast: 10 out of 10
Ashton Kutcher
This guy was the first dude chosen for this movie, so it is only appropriate that he come first. I have seen this guy in numerous interviews not to mention his house on MTV Cribs: (Dude Where's My Car Edition) and all I have to say is that he is one of the more narcissistic guys I have seen in Hollywood as of late. But that's okay because I am too. Anyway, he does a great job in this movie although it is Kelso from "That 70s Show" allover again. I am beginning to think that these characters might not be a big stretch for him :-) In real life he attended the University of Iowa but dropped out to pursue modeling. If you want to see more of him you can check out Reindeer Games...but not a big part...as a matter of fact he is no more than a college student...so I suggest that if you want to see him in any length you check out "That 70's Show" I love it and you will too.
Seann William Scott
What can be said about Seann outside of the fact that he spells his name all weird like? I think Seann is finally coming into his own. For a long time he was simply known as "Stifler" (American Pie) Then after Final Destination came out it seemed as if people would know him by his name. Instead he became known by no more than his catch phrase in the movie "Carter you D!ck" So when Road trip came out it was a glorious cast of "Tom Green, the stoner from clueless, and Stifler" I think with Dude Where's My Car? Seann might be remembered for more than drinking a cup of beer and....well...you know (And if you don't...trust me you don't want to) Anyway...stay tuned for more from this guy, I'm sure there are more teen films underway for him.
Marla Sokoloff
If you are one of the many who tune into to see "The Practice" then you have indeed seen Marla at her best. However if you haven't chance are you have not seen this gal in action. I would love to rant about her acting but seeing as "Dude" didn't really require much of.....anything (thought, acting, brains, etc...) it really would be pointless. If you want to see more of Marla check out the film Whatever It Takes a lighthearted teen film based loosely off of Cyrano de Bergerac.
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer plays twin number two in Dude, Wheres My Car and although she has some 11 other movies that she has been in it is hard to remember her from any of them, mainly because they were box-office flops...Take 1998's film "1999" Yeah..... Maybe she is best known for being the lucky one dating Scott Foley (Felicity) Either way she is great and make sure to watch for her in up coming months.
Kristy Swanson
The hottest of the hot...or at least in this movie. Does anyone else feel patronized that 30 year olds are playing teenagers??? Kristy's birthday is December 19th 1969. Well... I do believe I will not have to elaborate on that one. Other than that I figure I should mention the good things Kristy has done. Remember Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie not the show)? Yeah Kristy was the one and only Buffy...back when she still wasn't a teenager, but considerably closer. She has also played in such recent films as Big Daddy and Meeting Daddy
Overall: 4 out of 10
Shame on you if you thought there would be anything to this movie. Yup that's right, the trailer shows it all...well not it all...just the mentality. This is no great work of film...so don't be fooled. It is also no great coming of age story. This film does indeed fall into the teen genera...but unlike other films it doesn't try to disguise itself as a life lesson. The makers of this film proved one simple point...put guys who are attractive and half naked women into a movie and no matter how dumb the plot may be...teenagers will go see it.
And see it we did. I know many people who have already seen this movie (although not all of them want to admit to it) and when I went to see it, the theater was packed with people looking forward to the hilarity and antics promised by the movie advertisements.
Anyway...the movie wasn't a total waist. I want to say it was tolerable but that would indicate a bad thing. But it was in fact half way decent...as long as you know what you are getting yourself into...a completely (when I say completely I mean it) BRAINLESS comedy...if that's your bag baby then go see it...no no, wait for it on video.
