Review of The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) by Luke B — 05 Apr 2009
A clear case of "why bother" film-making. I've not seen the original programme, but I have been exposed to pop-culture references of it for years. Dukes of Hazzard is a simple story with simple humour.
Knoxville and William Scott make for a decent comedy duo but there just isn't enough interesting material to warrant your attention. Simpson is stunning, and her role is using her looks as a weapon.
Just how she is used as part of the film. The best thing for me was spotting all the Broken Lizard cast members. Directed by one of the troupe, it is a lot of fun. Without their writing though, it just isn't funny.
The only real funny part was a Super Troopers spoof. It was just nice seeing a direct copy of a scene play out slightly differently.
