Ashton Kutcher - Jesse
Seann William Scott - Chester
My Rating: F-
After their temporary high, the producers, writers, actors, and everyone else involve with this movie will find no work in Hollywood again. Do I feel sorry for them? HELL NO!! They tried to exploit the "Drug makes you stupid" genre and failed so miserably. I've seen my share of drug-induced movies, and still this movie ranks at the bottom (an amazing accomplishment considering they are against movies such as Idle Hands). Let me tell you one thing, I didn't go in the theater expecting an Oscar worthy picture. I love stupid, "please insult my intelligence" comedies. Dumb and Dumber and American Pie are just few examples of comedies that are so utterly stupid, I can't help but laugh. On the other hand, I had to survive through 80 minutes of cinematic cr*p. Dude, Where is my car? attempted to exploit this genre and make some extra cash for the movie studio (Fox, are you that much in debt?).
"Oh Brother, where art thou plot?" In the first 5 minutes, we are introduced to the basic plot premise. Two "dudes" woke up after a night filled with alcohol and drugs. As a result of their excessive usage of drugs and alcohol, they can't remember anything that happened. They must now piece together their night and find their car. And a writer was hired for this movie?
Whoever the writer was, I can just imagine his nights inhaling cocaine and smoking some weed. So, all those ads saying "Don't do drugs" and "It fries your brain" was telling the truth. After watching Dude, Where is my car?, I realized the damage drugs can do to the brain. Only a writer under heavy influence of acid can come up with this script. During Chester and Jesse's adventure, they have to find the continuum transfunctioner, find a suitcase with $200,000 for a transsexual, meet a French Ostrich farmer, and the list goes on and on. Don't even attempt to understand this movie and how it was even made. Take some acid and it may start making sense.
What is wrong with Seann William Scott? After the success of American Pie, he now only chooses roles of a dumb male pig. First Road Trip and now Dude, Where is my Car?. This guy needs to either find a new agent or spend some more time in acting school. Yes, his role in American Pie was hilarious. But, no, I don't want to see the same character over and over again. A one-dimensional career will not give him a healthy life in Hollywood.
My teacher once listed all the harmful drugs: LCD, acid, marijuana, cocaine, etc. I will go back to her and tell her one thing: "Please add Dude, Where is my Car? on that list, because that stuff killed my brain cells." I'm still in a daze and for 8.50, I still feel cheated.
