Dude, How did this get greenlit?!?!?

DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? (2000) *1/2 Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott, Jennifer Garner, Marla Sokoloff, David Herman, Hal Sparks, Kristy Swanson, Andy Dick (cameo). (Dir: Danny Leiner) Cheech & Chong. Bill & Ted. Wayne & Garth. `Dumb & Dumber'. Now `Dumber and Even Dumber' could be appropro in trying to pinpoint this brainless, airheaded stoner comedy unleashed in these new post-milllennium days of potty humor and adolescent hi-jinks that smacks of plain stupidity. Best buds and pizza delivery guys Jesse and Chester (Kutcher of tv's sitcom `That '70's Show' and Scott late of `American Pie' and the far superior `Road Trip') awaken from a fog of scattered memories of their partying night before to their squalid LA apartment and realize they've forgotten the birthday of their shared girlfriends - The Twins - Wana and Wilma (played by Garner and Sokoloff who don't look anything alike even with the glaring obviousness of Garner being a head taller than Sokoloff). So begins the eponymous quest as the two lunkheads try to locate Jesse's auto which results in a long day's journey into muddled plot including the fate of the universe in an object referred to as the `continuum tranfunctioner' that is being searched by - now pay close attention here - a phalanx of interstellar Hot Chicks, two Teutonic aliens and a small cult (led by E!'s `Talk Soup' host Sparks who has his work cut out if he is attempting to follow the footsteps of his Academy Award nominated predecessor Greg Kinnear) as well as violent encounters with some dunder-headed jocks, a tough transsexual stripper hellbent on getting his/her $200,000 back from Jesse & Chester, their angry pizza owner boss, and a barely recalled sexual encounter with the original Buffy (still sexy beyond belief Swanson in a too brief cameo as a wet-dream with the surname Boner; that's the level of subtlety on display here). Throw in their Yoda-inspired pothead buddy (Herman late of `Mad TV'), a surreal encounter with ostritches and an imprisoned poacher played by an uncredited Andy Dick (can't really blame him here) and a slightly amusing (ok I'll give them one laugh here) Chinese take out drive-thru verbal thrashing to the unseen order taker's constant refrain of `.and then.' perhaps perfectly illustrates the frustration level one endures in trying to find some traces of humor (or hell, originality) in this ineptly unfunny film. How this laugh-free screenplay by Philip Stark got green lit is beyond comprehension (which could pretty much sum up the film as a whole). The only signs of life - ok the only time I actually woke up - was at the film's climax when the dudes p*** off the Hot Chicks so bad that they morph their amazing sexy bodies into one entity, a scantily clad, sexy giantess that unfortunately is dispatched too soon. She has the right idea in tearing up the show and destroying anyone involved.

If you're not looking to change your worldview

I rented this movie with few, if any, expectations. It's actually pretty funny, and my only analog is Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. The movie knows what it is, and it doesn't seek to change you. A good flick for that evening after a bad week and a couple of Dos Equis.
Plus, David Herman's in it, and he rocks.

Very funny if you are the right audience

I heard only bad things about this movie going in. Sat down to watch it not expecting much but I thought it was hilarious. I usually dislike stupid humor comedies like this but I really laughed through this one. You really go to be around your college years to totally enjoy this one. And experience with nights of being very wasted is almost essential. If you don't meet this criteria I can see why the movie would be dumb. But if you do meet it, I think you may find this movie to be hilarious and lots of fun.

Terrible

Its just another hormonal teen movie centured around sex and drugs. This movie lacks intelligence, and the plot doesn't flow well.

Two friends are dating, and one day on the date of the twins girlfriends birthday, they lose thier car. Thinking that the twin have some sex in store for them, they go on an adventure to find their car. Memories are lost because of the'r wild night before. While on the way, they get thrown into another stupid plot, to find a machine for a group of women who plan to give them erotic plasure if they bring it to them.

My best advice is to stay away from this ignorant picture.

Dude, You Seriously Slipped Up!

Dimwitted, yet lovable Ashton Kutcher (as Jesse Montgomery III) and Seann William Scott (as Chester Greenburg) awaken from a night of partying, to discover the former's car is missing. They try to retrace their steps, and find their wheels, while being pursued by intergalactic aliens and a transsexual. This film is, as it states in the opining, based on "actual events"; I recall many mornings trying to recall where the car was left. Not sure what the other "actual events" rooted in reality might include. Mr. Kutcher and Mr. Scott act stupid, not stoned; actually, only a dog gets wasted. There is a lot of silly sexual innuendo, but no sex. The leading men appear bare-chested; and, the women are tight, albeit fully clothed. The hit soundtrack highlight is Young MC's "Bust A Move". The movie looks like it was a lot more fun to make than it is to watch.*** Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) Danny Leiner ~ Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott, Jennifer Garner

For those who want a good laugh

This is one of my favorite movies ever. It just makes me laugh, i love stupidity. If you don't like movies that make no sense and you want something intelligent or if you are thinking that this is going to be genius. Go somewhere else...this is a funny/stupid movie. I dont do drugs or drink so you cant say that u were drunk or high when you saw it. So if you just want a odd stupid movie to laugh and to quote. This is a great one, when Ashton Kutcher was still funny. Watch this for a laugh.

Why, Oh Why Do I Like This Movie??

I appreciate a good film, I dig Citizen Kane, Kubrick, David Lynch..etc. There should be no feasable reason that I find this movie appealing, yet I do! I'm not a moron, but this dumb, dumb, movie is so watchable it's a crime not to grab a tub of popcorn, a couple beers and dumb out for an hour and a half and see this one. You'll lose a few IQ points on the way, but it's worth it.

Dude, Where's the Exit?

I went to a free advanced screening of this "film," and I was still tempted to walk out after the first 10 minutes and demand a refund. A movie ad-libbed by a class of 3rd graders would have been more entertaining, and one would at least have been able to understand where the writers were coming from.The whole plot of this movie revolves around two moronic stoners trying to figure out what happened to them the previous night; they can't remember because they were incredibly high and wasted and stupid. I can only assume the film makers went through this exact process after they woke up and found out they had produced this abomination:Writer Philip Stark: "Dude, where'd this script come from?"Director Danny Leiner: "I don't know, man, we were wasted. Wow, this is awful!"Ashton Kutcher: "Dude! Sweet! Sweet! Whoa! Sweet, dude! Dude, sweet!"Sean William Scott: *drools on himself*Even people (including myself) who enjoy movies that are "So Stupid, They're Funny" will find themselves nauseated and insulted after even brief exposure to this comedic black hole. I hope that those responsible for inflicting the world with Dude, Where's My Car? are very, very sorry. And poor. And covered with fire ants.

Don't waste your precious money...

This movie was ridiculous. There were absolutely no redeeming values in it AT ALL: not the acting, plot, script, scenery, costumes, NOTHING. And what's more, the movie gives us teens SUCH a bad name, and no one in real life ever acts like the characters do. Its just inconceivable. Whatever you do, DON'T waste your money on this embarrassingly horrible movie. It makes your head ache and your eyes close. I'd give it a strong "F+"

Pointless....

This movie was just dumb, but some parts were funny that why it got 2 stars. It seems like the move was trying too hard to be the next Bill & Ted...but you know that's not gonna happen.

Dude, Where's My Plot?

Some movies can get away with being somewhat stupid-- (Dumb & Dumber, The Waterboy, or basically any Mel Brooks film)-- but this is not one of them. By the time you realize a joke is being told, it's already old. The two main characters have little depth, just another duo of pot-smoking (we can only assume) idiots. The plot seems well laid-out at first, but it gets polluted by the movie's constant desire for cheap jokes. Thus, this one ends up a mess, and the jokes that you find here are anything but creative or ingenious. Some will find a mildly good time, but if it's stability you're looking for, you've came to the wrong place. If you enjoy crazy, cornball humor, you'd be the most apt to want to watch this. Still, nobody, no matter what age, sophistication level, or favorite genre, will find this to be a masterpiece by any standards. A rental for a party would be your best bet, but you could easily do better.

Not enough...

When I saw that everyone voted really low for this movie - it shocked the pants off me!The movie wasn't bad at all, in fact if you like both the Bill & Ted movies you shurely like "Dude, Where's My Car?". If you rate the Bill & Ted movies first & second place, "Dude, Where's My Car?" deserves a good solid thirth place, I had an exelent night at the movies & laughed my butt off :)Regards, - Alain "D-PaC" Dassen, Maastricht / The Netherlands -

Hell yeah!

I just watched this movie the other day and I have to say it is one of the funniest I have ever seen. Everytime I watch it there are some parts that make me laugh so hard I practically fall off of my chair. People say how it has no plot or story or any of the things that movie reviewers look for. It is simply a comedy, and a very funny one at that.

What a load of rubbish

This has to be one of the worst US Comedies of all time, when I initially watch this movie I went into the cinema with high expectations as I am usually a fan of the non senseical US teen comedies.I have never been so disappointed in my life."Dude, where's my car? Where's your car dude?"...etc."dude... what does mine say.. sweet what does mine say..."etc.This isn't humour, it's barley English.Avoid this film like the plague. I would rather let a crack sadistic team of midgets loose on my never regions with razor blades than watch this movie for a second time.

Shibby!

Dude, Where's My Car first struck me as a cheap... movie that a couple of teenagers made in their spare time; that was, of course, before I watched it! Not only do Jesse and Chester make you laugh your toes off, but they also have a sweet, semi-innocent look about them. Dude, Where's My Car is like a stoner version of Dumb and Dumber and is one movie that I'm going to have to add to my collection!

One of the funniest movies i've seen all year

Most adults would think this movie is stupid and they might not get some of the jokes. I think this is a movie that only teenagers can appreciate. Ashton Kutcher and Seann Scott did a great job in this movie. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good laugh.

** Fun But Not Even Fun Dumb

I guess if you're not expecting much from this slacker comedy than you won't be disappointed. I wasn't expecting much myself, but even at that low an expectation level most of this badly written film still played like a bad high school skit in the worst possible way. Ashton Kutcher of television's That Seventies Show and American Pie's Seann William Scott play pizza delivery boys who wake up after a night of heavy partying to find that their car has been stolen. Then extraterrestrials get involved or something. The boys are very pretty but never believable as grungy stoners, and the film cannot be enjoyed much since there is not one whiff of an inspired moment in the whole thing.

Shibby!

** May contain spoilers. ** It's stupid. It's perverted. It's pathetic. It's pointless. It makes NO sense. I loved it! "Dude, Where's My Car?" is a great movie just to sit back and watch. It's fun, full of laughs, and the more you get into it, Seann William Scott and Ashton Kutcher just get into deeper trouble.What happens is, these two guys, Jesse (Kutcher) and Chester (Scott) wake up one morning, totally wasted. And right away, they find out they did some pretty stupid stuff last night that they don't even remember. Then, they get a message from their girlfriends, Wilma and Wanda, the twins, yelling at them because last night they completely trashed their house and have forgotten their one-year anniversary...which is today! But alas! Jesse and Chester have NOT forgotten the anniversary. In fact, they have The Twins' gifts in the car! But when they go out to the car, they see that their car is gone. "Dude, where's my car?" And so the day begins as Jesse and Chester start to trace back their steps and find out what exactly happened last night. The more they find out, the more they realize how wasted they were. Yet the more they find out, the more they realize how screwed they are. And the more they find out how screwed they are, the more they need to find that car! This movie is basically two hours of a waist of time. So if you have nothing to do have need some time to throw away, go see Dude, Where's My Car? I give it an 8 out of 10. It's shibby!

it's funny

This is a very funny movie. It made me laugh throughout the movie. but it did fall down towards the end when it became kind of hokey. I really enjoyed it and i suggest people that only like dumb and dumber comedy go see it for a few laughs. I will look forward to seeing it when it comes to video so i can see it again, and again, and again!

This movie is the secret to life.

I have been locked in a world of `film' for many years. Polanski, Hitchcock, Bergman, Kubrick, Antonioni. They have all been my heroes for more than ten years and I love all those auteurs. I always avoided movies like DUDE because I thought I was above them. I have had a BIG life change over the last three years and seeing DUDE for the great film it is (it celebrates life and allows you to smile, if you'll let it!) was very important to me. It is reviewed too seriously by many. It was no difficult task for me to enjoy this `film.' And allowing myself to do that is the secret to life for this lover of auteur cinema. This movie rocks!
