Dukes of Hazzard (DVD) (WS) (Unrated)
Action Comedy based on the hit television series that ran from
1979-85. Set in present day, The Dukes of Hazzard follows the
adventures of "good old boy" cousins Bo (Seann William Scott) and
Luke (Johnny Knoxville) Duke, who with the help of their
eye-catching cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and moonshine-running
Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), try and save the family farm from
being destroyed by Hazzard County's corrupt commissioner Boss
Hogg (Burt Reynolds). Their efforts constantly find the "Duke
Boys" eluding authorities in "The General Lee," their famed 1969
orange Dodge Charger that keeps them one step ahead of the
dimwitted antics of the small southern town's Sheriff Roscoe P.
Coltrane (M.C. Gainey).

----
The teaming of Johnny Knoxville (Jackass: The Movie) and Seann
William Scott (Dude, Where's My Car?) as well as the presence of
the '70s-flavored car chases that were a specialty of the TV
series guarantees that The Dukes of Hazzard will be even more
lowbrow than the CBS TV series (
/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/13745161/${0} ) (1979-85) that inspired
it. However, this brain-damaging comedy is more "rehash" than
"remake," as good ol' Georgiaboys Luke Duke (Knoxville) and his
cousin Bo (Scott) are frequently upstaged bythe General Lee, the
Confederate-ged '69 Charger that they drive, jump, race, and
fly in as they smuggle moonshine for their Uncle Jesse (Willie
Nelson). Meanwhile, cousin Daisy Duke (Jessica Simpson) is
reliably available to model her short-shorts (aka "Daisy Dukes")
and awesome figure (and let's face it, Simpson's talents pretty
much begin and end right there), while corrupt honcho Boss Hogg
(Burt Reynolds, who should know better) recruits a local NA
star to advance his wily scheme of converting Hazzard County into
a strip mine. Director Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers) manages
to mine some good-natured humor from the movie's oval-track
detour and a few colorful supporting players (notably Kevin
Hefferman as the Duke's pal Sheev). Otherwise, consider yourself
warned: The Dukes of Hazzard is shameless Hollywood product at
its most forgettable, trafficking in shameless white, rural
Southern stereotypes. If you can make itto the end, there's a
blooper reel to reward your endurance. --Jeff Shannon
DVD features
Yes, the unrated edition of The Dukes of Hazzard has nudity...
but no, it's not of Jessica Simpson, but topless sorority girls.
There are also two sets--"PG-13" and "unrated"--of deleted scenes
and bloopers. The four minutes of unrated deleted scenes
(supplementing the 25 minutes of "PG-13" deleted scenes) include
more sorority girls and a menage à trois for Johnny Knoxville .
The five minutes of unrated bloopers (the same a as the
"PG-13" bloopers) feature a few more girls but mostly bad
language. Featurettes discuss the Daisy Duke short shorts (and
show how you can make your own), car stunts, and the making of
the movie (narrated by a cast member of the original TV series).
