What to Know

Critics Consensus

A dumb, goofy, and vacuous adaptation of a TV show where plot is simply an excuse to string together the car chases.

Good, stupid fun. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Film4 04/22/2008
If rubber-burning car chases and short shorts are your thing, this is the summer remake for you. Go to Full Review Ben Walters Time Out 02/09/2006
Whether you find all this inane or offensive will probably depend on whether you buy the Dukes' defence of 'never meaning no harm'; either way it's pretty hard going. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 06/06/2021

Unfortunately, this is a film that begs comparison to the television series and because of that draws more criticism than were it to stand alone - although standing along it still insults the intelligence of every moviegoer out there. Go to Full Review James Mottram The List 04/25/2019

Tyra T @TLT205 2d Fun movie with cool cars, quick dialog and good old country fun. One of my favorites! See more Taryn B @TarynBush Jan 30 Unpopular opinion,(but the right ones usually are unpopular) this movie is cinematic gold! Broken Lizard did great with this film all around,great chase scenes,loads of humor and fantastic casting right down to Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke because frankly she’s hot as balls in those cut off shorts! See more Rachel G. @RaeTom Dec 22 "The Hazzard is real with this one" Okay this movie was so bad, so bad. Bo Duke: bad casting Luke Duke: bad casting Rosco: bad casting Boss Hogg: what the hell? Daisy Duke: Any pretty girl could have played the role. Jesse Duke: Willie Nelson... perfection. I appreciate the original TV show and I love the original actors/characters... more authentic looking actors, more real comedy. The original had likable, cute, funny, full-on southern ppl and I love it... this movie was a waste and insulting to the real art of the classic TV series. See more luyanda m Oct 1 It was a fun film. Critics want an Oscar winning film from every movie ever made... this wasn't that not was it nostalgia bate for the original series... I watched it with fresh eyes and open mind, I was entertained by the raunchy comedy, over the top stunts and hillbilly caricatures... it dares to defy the standard and stands out as a unique take on a classic piece of media It's a unique film because it's short comings are in many ways its best qualities... I can appreciate introspection or character depth but I can also appreciate Jessica Simpson in booty short and a model in a bikini every 5 minutes (there were so many)... It was a raunchy comedy that made sense for the time and context it was produced and it fit a specific type of humour that no longer exists in 2025. Its a cinema classic for those who just wanna enjoy watching a movie without pretending they are snobs of high society See more Frans B @FransB Jun 8 I loved it! Why compare it to the series or original?, even the critdicks do that?, but never mind. Goofy fun, good ol' boys and just mayhem 🤪 The cast all performs convincingly and after I've seen "the making of" it, a lot went into the movie. Not for everybody, but I can not think that the majority thinks it's "mindless" and "empty"(vacuous)?? See more thiago s @Thiagostone May 15 Filme legal, o roteiro é legalzinho, as cenas são legais, o elenco é bacaninha, e só a dupla do seann William scott junto com johnny knoxville ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é boa, os personagens sao bacaninhas, e com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.
