Dude Where's My Car?

Starring Ashton Kutcher, and Seann William Scott


Mat

Originally I was supposed to see this movie twice. Before watching it with Zack and Greg, I was at Media Play and a friend of mine who went to my high school saw me. She was visiting from college because of the winter break. She asked if I wanted to go to a movie with her and her friends and I agreed. Then I watched it with Zack and Greg! Fortunately, it turned out when I was supposed to watch it a second time, the guy at the ticket counter said either the film reel or the projector was broken! We went out to eat dinner instead. This pointless story is much more entertaining than the 90 minutes Dude, Where’s My Car sucks out of your life. Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott are stoners who wake up one morning to discover that they remember nothing about what happened last night. A little bit later, they remember their girlfriends’ anniversaries are today. The dilemma? Their presents are in Kutcher’s car! The plot gets a little bit stranger when the dudes are suspected of carrying an alien device by several odd characters. Dude, Where’s My Car is trying to be a comedy of the Bill & Ted variety, although it never, ever reaches the hilarity of either of those two films. To put it another way, the worst moment of a Bill & Ted movie is ten times better than the best moment in Dude, Where’s My Car? The jokes fall flat and many of them run on for way too long, especially a bit at a Chinese drive-thru. I’m sure twenty monkeys chained to a typewriter could hammer out a better script in two weeks! After some researching on the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com), I discovered that Philip Stark, the screenwriter for Dude, Where’s My Car is also a writer for the much funnier That 70’s Show! He must have written this one while on coffee breaks or something. The acting is sub-par in this movie overall. Ashton Kutcher does an OK job, but Seann William Scott is very obnoxious, especially in the 5 minute “Dude, Sweet!” scene between the two. Also the actor that portrays the head of a group of geeks looks way too much like a model on a GAP commercial than the rest of his mega-geek squad. I give Dude, Where’s My Car *1/2 out of ****.


Greg

First off, I would like to point out that Dude, Where's My Car is a horrible title for a movie. The movie follows suit. Since i assume Mat and/or Zack will give you a plot summary, i won't waste your time. This movie really had a lot of potential to be funny. It has a pretty funny plot, it has that guy from That 70s Show, and, heck, there are some genuinely funny parts in the movie. Unfortunately, you only had to watch a preview of the movie to see that this movie would not live up to this potential. This movie had maybe a handful of funny parts, and maybe a truckload of painfully unfunny parts. This movie was a painful experience. Several times throughout the movie, as Mat and Zack can vouch for, i actually found it more entertaining to examine my hand that continuing to watch the movie. I've never been to a movie for which that has been the case. This movie is not the worst movie i've ever watched, but it's the most painful movie i've seen in a long time... I give it 0.5 stars out of 4


Zack

Since Mat and Greg both covered what I was going to say, I made this instead.
