A Disappointing Continuation
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.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

You me and Dupree really is a horrible film and was a big disappointment to me. I usually like Kate Hudson, and Matt Dillon has certainly been involved in good material in his professional acting career, but this garbage is just sad. This film has a potentially funny plot and had some potential to be good quality comedy, but it wasted that good potential on unfunny content, lackluster jokes, and wooden acting from the cast. Owen Wilson was annoying and just unfunny as our star, Dupree. And Kate and Matt really didn't have any true noticeable chemistry as a couple, they looked fake and unbelievable. Oh and Michael Douglas is also in here in a small supporting role, Kate's father, and I really hated him in this film, I thought he was just dumb, unnecessarily annoying and completely unfunny. The script is dull and it is void of any and all possible jokes that would work well. This "comedy" film, if you can even call it that, falls flat and disappoints big time. 1/10 for You me and Dupree.

This is hard to finish; which is something doesn't fit a comedy for a start ! Originally it's the newly married suburban couple mixed with a bugging angel. On one hand; he's wacky (ironies between him and the married couple), and on the other; he's spontaneous (facts he uncovers to complete the married couple). Theoretically it works, however this movie wasn't smart at dealing with its own winning formula. Instead it falls over itself, producing insufferable time ! The comic sketches are totally uncreative, boring, unfunny and really really disgusting. I asked myself what's the need for "flashing naked butts, painting naked girl with butter, explosion of feces, ..." ?!! Apparently the movie finds no way but being easy and cheap to be comic. Plus it's how to sell untalented comedies these days. So when (Wilson) resorts to masturbating, just to express how sad he is, I got turned off utterly. This is filth for filth. His character says "I hit the rock bottom by that". Well, at that point you can say the same about the movie !As for the rest of it, review for instance the third act : Dupree gives his friend/the husband a speech to make him bolder, the husband gives another speech to the father-in-law (as the movie's so-called big finish !), and the husband wins his love back by a third speech yet romantic. It isn't about being formulaic to scary extent, it is about the formula not being filled with anything witty or rather anything. The finale looks so forced where Dupree, the movie's loser, tunes suddenly and unbelievably into a motivational speaker (while – vaguely – the frightening huge guard turns into his assistant ??!!). I deemed it whether a violent mocking at the motivational speakers or just something, anything, to end the movie with (I know that watching it turned me into a "loser" !). I'm board with (Owen Wilson). This guy can't make a character, so all of his characters ARE THE SAME. And guess what? It's not a droll one. He's incapable of making laughs, though he stars nothing but comedies ?? This time he achieves a new level of silliness. Just remember his screaming at the classic movie, or his suspicious looks to all the schools' employees; THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD. I couldn't enjoy, believe, or stand him delivering awful performance and having the same provoking image, tone, ..etc. And with the free masturbation scene, I was board and sick. (Wilson).. you must change to last. Dye your hair, alter your forever way of whispering, what the heck; dress like a woman, I mean do anything else your unchangeable self. But that dude doesn't learn at all. Watch him 2 years later remaking Dupree as Drillbit Taylor !(Matt Dillon) does it without much vitality. Casting him was weird since he's no comedian, and his seriousness wasn't used well either. (Seth Rogen) did a tepid character tepidly, and when his character searches for porn movies in the dump then it's detestable. (Michael Douglas) had no comedy to perform, so they gave him some lines about willful sterilization to say, perfecting with the body's lower-half type of comedy in here. The thing is dramatically the movie gives no reasons to the strange matter why this father-in-law needs no grandchildren. So how about the same character – simultaneously – talks and talks about how he fears that his own surname, which he put in his son-in-law's surname, may disappear ?? See how stupid this movie is !I won't talk a lot about the direction since I don't like to beat a dead horse. But come to think of it; the angles are all one; movies have to show what's more than sitcoms. The atmosphere has no distinguished point. The soundtrack can't be more lifeless. So, with no new events; it loses being both surprising and attractive. Therefore I wanted it to end since its half, in fact it ended for me there !It insists on using the poor ways to do everything. And the outcome is a repeated form filled with ridiculousness and some loathsomeness as a renewal. In other words : (Owen Wilson) produced a movie to iterate himself yet masturbate too. It gives the feeling of someone sitting beside you, alleging painfully to be laughable, while talking dully and farting endlessly ! (You, Me, and Dupree) is garbage. Even (Kate Hudson) didn't look any beautiful in it !

This is the worst, shallowest, unfunny film I have endured for years. The concepts are poor, characters very shallow and plot is entirely ridiculous. Shouldn't the Dupree character be at least likable? I would have cheerfully strangled him on at least 10 occasions. Additionally, the idea of putting him in front of a classroom of impressionable kids is ludicrous - bordering on insane. Who in their right mind would want kids to hear the "mothership" clap-trap from Dupree? The staged elements - where he is a rude and imposing house-guest, were shown on the trailers to the film and were meant to shock. The fact that there was little else of any substance in the actual film is typical of this genre. The fire scene is also much more annoying than credible. Then when it clears up so easily is preposterous. The "lovable rogue" who hasn't grown up and still has fun skateboarding with the local kids, should never have been accepted by the producers as credible. I could go on but it does not deserve further consideration. Please respect yourself and the rest of your life and do not waste a second of it on watching this film!!!!

When the film started with a marriage in Hawaii where the best man is flown in with a Cessna I was reaching for my barf bag, but it went uphill from there on and I was laughing a couple of times. You've seen it all before, guy's best friend moves in with newlyweds and various kerfuffles occur, but at least this movie lends a glossy new look to it. I also thought it was kinda bold how the movie's antihero is shown "debasing" himself into a tube sock to a porn video. It also puts one over Ultimo tango a Parigi with regards to unorthodox employment of the oft-ignored vittle of butter.Give this one a try if you just want to chill with a movie.
