You, Me, and Dupree


You, Me and Dupree (2006)


Director(s): Anthony and Joe Russo

Starring: Owen Wilson, Kate Hudson, Matt Dillon, and Michael Douglas

Description: For newlyweds Carl and Molly Peterson, life can't get any sweeter as they begin anew to settle down into married life. With a nice house and established careers in tow, nothing seems to get in their way. However, Carl is about find out just how much friendship means when Dupree, his best friend has been displaced from his home and fired from his job because of attending their wedding. Taking his friend in, what Carl and Molly are about to experience is that the fine line between a few days and whatever else is after, can be a lot more than they bargained for. Especially when their friend overstays his welcome in far too many ways than he should.

Review: For the most part, I enjoyed this movie. It has sme genuinely funny moments. That said, it was sort of a typical "Father-in-Law hates new Son-in-Law" type of story. There really wasn't anything new or fresh about it. I'd say its a movie to watch on HBO when you have nothing better to do, but I wouldn't bother renting it.

Score: 2.5 out of 5
