Movie Review: You, Me and Dupree

Tuesday, October 6, 2009
Synopsis: Carl and Molly Peterson are just starting their new life together--complete with a cute house, boring neighbors, stable jobs and the routines of newlywed existence. There's just one unfortunate hitch in their perfectly constructed new world. And his name's Dupree. Randy Dupree, Carl's oldest friend and perpetual bachelor, has found himself with nowhere to go after being fired. Carl yanks his jobless/homeless pal out of the bar he's living in and invites him to temporarily crash on the couch--that's just what friends do. At first, Carl is quite pleased to have his good buddy as a permanent couch guest, while Molly bears the brunt of Dupree's immature antics. But, as Carl becomes buried in his grown-up job, he finds it harder and harder to juggle Dupree and his responsibilities as a husband. To make matters worse, Dupree uses his ample spare time to become a great companion for Molly. Even her dad and the neighbors are falling for his carefree wisdom and charm--frustrating Carl to no end. Soon, everyone (but Carl) begins to root for Dupree to stick around. But as Dupree starts to become a fixture in the Peterson's home, three becomes not just a crowd--but a full blown, hilarious catastrophe.

Starring: Owen Wilson, Kate Hudson, Matt Dillon, Michael Douglas, Amanda Detmer
Directed by: Joe Russo, Anthony Russo
U.S. Rating: PG-13

With some ups and downs in this film, we could say that Owen Wilson steels the show on this film. A great cast selected for this poorly predictable plot, offering some really funny scenes and good laughs.

What did I like from this movie?

1. I really laughed out loud at the following moments: When Dupree is looking for a job and attends some job interviews, when Dupree gets HBO, definitely! when he's with Mandy on his first date... the butter, candles and the results of this crazy mix of love, the scene when Matt Dillon is asked to get a vasectomy and the moment when Seth Rogen (the friend that can't do anything at home because his wife is more like his boss) tries to get the box of porno movies from the garage

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. Michael Douglas role sucked, and even more, the way he played it
2. The plot was extremely predictable, no matter how funny it could have been. Actually, the end got boring, compared with the rest of the film

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
