Dukes Of Hazzard


We finally mossied on down to the cinema to catch the Dukes yesterday. If your after classical memorable Oscar material to watch, this is NOT your film. But if you like a bit of fun, fast cars, and a good old fashioned good vs bad man movie, Go see it.
It is a remake of the 70's series. I didn't actually laugh a lot at it....But maybe that's just me. I did, however, LOVE the car chase scenes. The good old action when the cop cars get smashed up time after time.
Bo and Luke Duke were played by Jackass's Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott. They were excellent. Funny, laid back and sexy. Jessica Simpson as the Delectable Daisy Duke was good. But her very very false heavy southern drawl put me off a tad. But she looked hot.
The majority of the film was car chase though, Smashing, fast, revving, sparking, tyre burning , gear crunching fun. Seeing I'm a speed merchant at heart. I loved it. Haven't had such fun with a car chase movie since the Blues Brothers.
Not so sure about the jokes Willie Nelson told through out the movie. He will never make it as a stand up comic.
But in comparison to the last movie (Bewitched) we saw. 100% better.
