Review: The Dukes of Hazzard

Dukes of Hazzard

The Dukes of Hazzard (Unrated Widescreen Edition)I remember watching the TV series all of the time as a kid. The Dukes and the General Lee were my heroes because they always saved the day. When I first heard a movie was coming out I was excited. I was even more excited when I saw the cast. Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Jessica Simpson, Burt Reynolds, and Willie Nelson all played big roles in the film.

Going into the movie I was expecting something entertaining. The Dukes of Hazzard delivered in that area as well as being pretty damn funny. Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott worked well together as the Bo and Luke Duke. Jessica Simpson was great eye candy in the role of Daisy Duke, but she does not have a future career in movies. I was a bit disappointed in the choice of Burt Reynolds for Boss Hogg. In the TV series, Boss Hogg was a shorty chubby guy where Reynolds is much taller and in reasonable shape.

If you were a fan of the original TV show you should enjoy the movie. Make sure you stay after the film and watch the credits for some bloopers. I give it a B+.
