Review of Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) by Stuart K — 17 Jan 2012
From a time when they used to make childish comedies like this, directed by Danny Leiner (Harold & Kumar Get the Munchies (2004)), this comes across as being something like The Hangover (2009), only alot more childish and immature, with gags and dialogue being repeated.
Jesse Montgomery III (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester Greenburg (Seann William Scott) are two stoner slackers who wake up one morning with no idea what they've done the night before, but they find their kitchen full of chocolate pudding, and loads of messages on their answering machine from their twin girlfriends Wilma (Marla Sokoloff) and Wanda (Jennifer Garner), as it's their one-year anniversary is that day, and to top it all off, Jesse's car has gone missing, (hence the title being said alot.
) They retrace their steps, asking fellow stoner Nelson (David Herman), and then they discover a plot involving a weird UFO cult led by Zoltan (Hal Sparks), a transsexual stripper (Teressa Tunney), a group of leather-clad women (Mitzi Martin, Nichole M.
Hiltz, Linda Kim, Mia Trudeau, and Kim Marie Johnson), but it brings them no nearer to finding Jesse's car. This is a very dumb comedy, and not in a good way, while it did predate The Hangover, it doesn't have the sleek structure that did.
In fact, this is done with a very amateurish sheen, and if it weren't for Kutcher and Scott's camaraderie together, it would be totally abysmal.
