Clevercell Very disappointing...

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

ramsfan Reunion shows are usually a mixed bag. On the one hand, it is always tempting to see your favorite shows as a kid and recapture past viewing pleasure. On the flip side, many of these re-makes are not well done, and they negate the good memories these shows hold. The Dukes Of Hazzard Reunion does a credible job for the most part of honoring the original series, providing a plausible storyline and not straying too far from the original concept.The show opens by getting us reacquainted with the principal characters as one by one they converge on Uncle Jesse's farm. Bo is now a professional race car driver. Luke works for the Forestry Service. Cooter is a congressman, while Daisy is a grad student at (appropriately) Duke University. While Enos works for the LAPD- a nod to his departure from the original series- Roscoe has inherited the deceased Boss Hogg's fortune and is double dipping as both Sheriff AND County Commissioner. The Duke clan must stop crooked land developer Mama Max (Stella Stevens) from building a theme park in Hazzard Swamp- the land on which the Duke Farm sits. Along the way, we're treated to the usual hi-jinks which characterized the series; car chases, bumbling cops, not-too-bright criminals and fun and adventure with our two principal stars and the most famous Dodge Charger in history. It is a theme that works well because of its familiarity."The Dukes" is not without some sadness and regret. The late Sorrell Booke, a wonderful character actor who masterfully portrayed Boss Hogg, is not on hand (There is a wonderful, touching scene in which a tearful Rosco speaks to a painting of Boss in his office). Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse) was ill with cancer when this movie was made yet gamely soldiered on. Gone is Waylon Jennings, the deep voiced country music legend and Dukes Balladeer. And those expecting to see sexpot Catherine Bach- the object of every male fantasy in the 80's- will surely be a bit disappointed, as age has made her a mere mortal.Despite these factors, the original Dukes Of Hazzard holds fond personal memories of childhood, and this movie brought many of them back while successfully paying tribute to the series.

skeeterchicakb83 I am a huge fan of the TV show, and as this movie was so similar, I enjoyed almost every minute of it. It was great to see Luke and Bo back and looking great - still the same old boys! Daisy was wonderful -a strong woman and still a lovely one. Enos came back! YAY! He and Daisy finally hooked up! YAY! Roscoe was himself too! Uncle Jesse was great as the head of the family - he will be missed. As is Boss - the pseudo-villainy of the man was missing from this, but Roscoe followed in his footsteps well.Warning: HERE BE SPOILERS!!! What I didn't like was that Daisy seemed to be flaky at the end. I never got that out of the TV show, and I really didn't think that she would break Enos' heart like that; just saying that she can't go through with the wedding because she saw her ex. She ought to know Enos is not like her ex. He was wonderful as the still loyal man.And my only question is - when are Bo and Luke going to get hitched? Some lucky girl out there is waiting to be a Mrs. Duke.

voicemaster71 THIS COMMENT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS :I never thought they would ever do it, so I was totally blown away when I saw the Dukes of Hazzard Reunion on CBS back in 1997. The series became hot all over again when it played on TNN and now on CMT. It was indeed sad that Sorrell Booke as Boss Hogg had died. I remember hearing about it during my senior year in college. But his being acknowledged was fantastic. I never once imagined Rosco as both boss and sheriff of Hazzard, but that made it even more enjoyable. I feel that Catherine Bach still looks great as Daisy Duke. Okay, sure she didn't have the same physique she did in the series, but you have to understand. She recently had a baby prior to filming this movie and she was in her 40's at the time as opposed to being in her 20s/'30's during the series. Not many people have that same physique when they get older. She looked fantastic!! Tom Wopat and John Schneider had no trouble returning to the roles of Bo and Luke Duke. Now Bo being a NASCAR driver, I could believe, I felt that Luke being a chief fireman was a bit odd. Daisy had a good catch up story of being in a failed marriage and she put herself through college and graduate school studying ecology. Great to see Enos back and now he's a tough competent cop from L.A. but still maintains his honest,shy, boyish charm. I loved that he and Daisy courted and was looking forward to their marriage and the end of the movie, only to be greatly disappointed that the wedding was called off because Daisy's idiot ex husband shows up by accident. James Best is Funnier than ever as Rosco P. Coltrane, now the head honcho of Hazzard County and his scenes with Stella Stevens as Mama Max were absolute jewels to watch. One priceless scene was the emotional scene when he talks to the portrait of the late Boss Hogg. I loved the fact that Cooter also served in Congress just like Ben Jones did in real life. And it was great to see Rick Hurst return as Cletus, especially since the series never revealed where he vanished to when he departed during the fifth season. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was Bubba and Bertha Jo. Now I know that these movies need supportive characters, but surely they could have come up with better. Bubba and Betha Jo got on my nerves and the fact that they married instead of Daisy and Enos made me despise them even more. But it is still a terrific reunion movie and especially to see Bo and Luke racing around in the General Lee just like the old days. It is especially a great chance to see Denver Pyle one more time as Uncle Jesse since sadly, he would pass away on Christmas of that same year. The Dukes of Hazzard Reunion is a movie I will gladly give two thumbs up.

bob the moo Years after the family have grown up and gone their separate ways, Uncle Jessie organises a reunion to bring all the clan back together again for a party. Once Luke, Bo, Daisy and Cooter are all back he tells them that he needs help to fight a property developer who is trying to build a theme park on the swamp and build access across his property. The developer challenges the boys to a race – her stock car against theirs with the winner taking all. When Daisy makes a discovery that all may not be what it appears she is kidnapped – can the boys rescue Daisy and win the race?I watched the TV show when I was younger but I can't remember much beyond comedy lawmen, Daisy's body and car chase after car chase, so maybe this film wasn't aimed at me – but I watched it anyway. The reunion has a thin plot that is a little daffy but done with a slight bit of tongue in cheek. It gets a little stretched at times (the final race is a bit of a joke) as it takes on too many commitments without fitting them in well, but the light tone helps this.The comedy is gentle and helps the film generally. The car chases are quite basic but there are one or two moments where the stunt drivers deserve a lot of credit (a mid air collision is a high point) but the really cheap back projection spoils any illusion of who is in the cars for real. If you were looking for genuine tension or excitement then you're in the wrong place I'm afraid.The cast look genuinely happy to be back and there is a respectful tone for those who had died since the TV show wrapped – Booke's Boss Hog being the biggest loss I think. However everyone does what they are supposed to do. Uncle Jessie doesn't look that much older, Wopat and Schneider enjoy themselves and Bach still looks good despite not quite having the same body that she had as a youngster! Best reprises his role well and also covers for the loss of Booke. The addition of some martial arts action in the shape of Cynthia Rothrock adds a little spice to the mix and stops it becoming old too quickly.Overall this is all a bit silly and is probably best served to fans however there is enough fun here to justify those of us who watched the series but wouldn't call ourselves fans.
