Advantages: Funny, will make you laugh out loud, Owen Wilson Disadvantages: Dillon and Hudson's chemistry isn't great
You, Me and Dupree is one of those movies which was heavily advertised in 2006 across theatres and the television, but its taken me until now to actually get hold of a copy and watch it. This surprises me as I am a big fan of Kate Hudson, so I'm not sure how I forgot about this one. I also quite like Owen Wilson, although I'm a bit indifferent towards Matt Dillon, so I wasn't too sure what to expect from this one.
You, Me and Dupree tells us the ... ...have just gotten married and moved into their own little house. Molly is a teacher at a local school and Carl works for Molly's father in property development. Everything is going swimmingly for the couple. That is until Dupree moves in. He's lost his job and his house, and being Carl's best friend, Carl can't turn him away, so much to Molly's annoyance he moves onto the couple's couch for the near-future. But Dupree proves more of a burden that ...

The other night , I was in bed late at night , flicking through the channels , looking for something decent to watch on the television , when I came across 'You Me And Dupree' which was showing on ITV2. This film has been on my 'to watch list' for sometime now , although I still hadn't got around to it , and now seemed like my perfect chance.
You , Me And Dupree is an American Comedy film , released in the United Kingdom on August 25th 2006. The ... ...The movie was directed by Anthony and Joe Russon. Running time of this movie is one hundred and eight minutes (twelve minutes short of two hours). This movie is a 12 which means it must not be viewed by persons under the age of twelve. This DVD is available to buy from Amazon for £3.98 which I think is a very reasonable price for a DVD.
The plot consists of Carl Peterson and Randy Dupree who have been best friends for years. However when Carl meets ...

Advantages: Dillon looks hot Disadvantages: No comedy
When I was much younger I was a fan of the so called "Brat Pack", which at the time included Matt Dillon. Admittedly, he is not the world's greatest actor but I have always been drawn to films he has starred in and he is very easy on the eye. In fact, he has matured like a fine wine, and for me tops the likes of Tom Cruise in the looks department. Anyway, letching over, that sort of explains what drew me to "You, Me & Dupree", because I am not particularly ... ...Hudson. I find Hudson bland, and a more watered down version of her mother, whilst I just cannot understand the huge attraction with Owen Wilson. He is an acceptable right hand man to the likes of Vince Vaughan, but he is not a leading man in my eyes. He lacks the charisma and the humility to make me want to watch him.
Wilson stars as Randolph Dupree, a friendly but childlike character who due to bad decisions, bad planning and the luck that comes ...

Advantages: Worth a look... Disadvantages: Not too many...
Not a bad movie... pretty much what we've come to expect from an Owen Wilson movie (although not his most entertaining). Low budget, a very small plot, loads of dialogue... a few good laughs.
As always, Wilson is his charmingly naive self who always seems to be the underdog, the one who never quite makes it but doesn't really seem to care as long as he's having fun. Down on his luck, his best friend (who has just gotten married) offers to help him ... ...it... a Three is Company type movie... highly predictable, somewhat enjoyable... but it tends to drag on.
The storyline is simple... man takes in best friend, wife not too pleased, best friend makes a nuisance of himself, wife wants friend out, friend is turned out, wife pities friend and takes him back, man having problems with wife's father, man neglecting wife, wife becoming friendly with friend (platonic of course), man jealous, man kicks friend ...

Advantages: Can be funny, Good actors Disadvantages: Nothing new
When you are looking to buy or rent a film, you always want something that takes you somewhere you have not been before. You want to be able to sit down and watch the film, while thinking 'this is really good'. Unfortunately, this film does not meet the criteria, but don't run off just yet!
Newlyweds Carl (Matt Dillon) and Molly (Kate Hudson) move in together and of course, nothing could go wrong, could it? Carl's best man and all time best friend, ... ...havoc starts. Although he is supposed to be looking for a job, he constantly defies thsi responsibility and instead decides to play with the neighbourhood kids or dating a mysterious librarian. As if this isn't enough, Carl also has to deal with his over-protective father-in-law.
Overall, this film is nothing new but everyone likes more of the same don't they? So if you are stuck for a film choice, let Dupree come and stay at your hose and let the ...

Advantages: Surprisingly funny Disadvantages: If you were looking for something serious and factual you might be disappointed
I didn't expect much from You, Me and Dupree but it really made me laugh, and was surprisingly unpredictable. Although everything turns out alright in the end there is a moment when you wonder whether it will be a happy ending. Owen Wilson plays his typical light hearted character and Kate Hudson and Matt Dillon are both very good in it. Michael Douglas was also funny as the dreaded father-in-law, who asks his daughter's husband to get a vasectomy. ...
