Dude, Where's My Car?
A Movie Review |
|
 |
I think I’ve now finally secured it – I’m going
to hell. Why? Because at 10:30 on Sunday morning, when I should have
been at church, I was at one of the worst movies I have seen and I
found myself enjoying it – "Dude, Where’s My Car?"
The story starts out simple, Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott)
wake up not really knowing what happened the night before. They
attribute this to being totally wasted and it’s easy to see how
that could happen. So the movie begins with our duo trying to put
back the pieces to what must have been a fabulous night, especially
as they begin to find out some of the things that have happened,
starting with Greg (Stuttering John Melendez), peeing in their
plant. They meet up with Christie Boner (Kristy Swanson) who let one
of our duo feel her up, they stumble into the nudie bar where they
find they were the kings of the bar, and then things really get
weird finding out that they were in charge of a suitcase full of
money, gave a couple aliens a ride back to their spaceship, and
played some pretty good miniature golf. And if you think that’s
weird, it’s their day after, when they found out what happened the
night before, that things really start taking twists and turns by
adding the bubble-wrap people, the continuum transfunctioner, and
the Super-Hot Giant Alien.
This is the kind of movie that most reviewers won’t give two
cents worth of their time to watch, and you know what, I don’t
blame them, but for some reason all of the lame, stupid, obvious,
and childish jokes made me laugh. From the exchange of Jesse and
Chester describing their tattoos, to the Chinese drive-in, to the
Rubik’s Cube, to the bubble suits the space cult people were
wearing, I laughed. Maybe sometimes I need mindless fun, and
"Dude, Where’s My Car?" provided me and the four other
people that blew off church in favor of a movie that simple
pleasure.
I won’t take any more of your time with this review for this
movie except to say if you go into this movie expecting what you
think the trailers show, well, you’ll probably enjoy it a little.
If you go to this movie thinking this will be one of the most
thought-provoking comedies of all time, well, you’ll probably
leave by the time the dog smokes his own one-hitter. I’m giving
"Dude, Where’s My Car?" 3 stars out of 5. It’s stupid
fun – expect that.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
