![]() You, Me and Dupree $2.99 I know there are far more annoying comedies than YOU, ME AND DUPREE--I'm just at a loss to recall them. So let's dispense with formalities and call this film what it is: contrived, silly, predictable, stereotyped, formulaic, nut jub ending, and annoying. When Owen Wilson is good, he's downright fun to watch; when he's bad, you want to put your foot through the flat screen. Thank goodness for self-control, or I would be looking for a new 32-inch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, newlyweds Carl and Molly (Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson) make a colossal mistake inviting Carl's deadbeat, immaturish best bud Dupree (Wilson) off the street and into their home. And we have the subplot of Carl going to work for Molly's overbearing, boorish, obnoxious, and highly disapproving father (Michael Douglas). Dupree is a walking catastrophe, so everything goes wrong, from stopped up toilets to setting the living room on fire, thereby creating (surprise!) a noticeable strain on Carl and Molly's marriage. And not only is Wilson annoying as accident-prone Dupree; he's in-your-face annoying, over the top times ten. Meanwhile stressed-out Carl becomes even more paranoid dealing with the office and home, while Hudson's Molly just stands around looking ticked off. Then we move to a reconciliation of all parties (never saw that coming), followed by an ending so goofy I was cringing with embarrassment vicariously for Wilson. The only bright spot was, predictably, Seth Rogen. In summary, do you want to see an entertaining, interesting, compelling, engaging, witty, charming comedy? Then do not see YOU, ME AND DUPREE. --D.
