Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

It's trash, all right, but perfectly skewed trash -- a comedy that knows just how smart to be about just how dumb it is.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Director Jay Chandrasekhar ... has found the perfect balance of old-fashioned charm and postmodern touches -- but not too many to overshadow the show's precious texture.Read the full review

USA Today | Mike ClarkAdd Critic to Favorites

It's for people who have always wanted to see Willie Nelson ("Uncle Jesse") lob Molotov cocktails on a freeway and smoke weed with Joe Don Baker, who plays Georgia's governor.Read the full review

Variety | Brian LowryAdd Critic to Favorites

Loud, silly but kind of lame-brained fun with car chases aplenty, "Dukes" faithfully plays like an extended episode of the series, albeit with an additional gallon or so of fuel-injected raunchiness.Read the full review

Slate | David EdelsteinAdd Critic to Favorites

A decent-enough rambunctious Southern-drive-in sort of time-waster, missing only the bare boobs that would make it the perfect socially irresponsible sexist entertainment for rednecks and uptight liberal elites who'd like to live the country-boy dream for a few hours.

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Keith PhippsAdd Critic to Favorites

It's got a few laughs and some impressive car chases, but mostly, it's just a puzzling jumble of gags and exhaust fumes.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

A cheap, greasy time at the multiplex. You leave annoyed at having been hungry enough to have ever wanted it in the first place.Read the full review

The New York Times | Dana StevensAdd Critic to Favorites

It would help if the movie were actually funny - or if it actually bothered to be a movie, rather than some car chases punctuated by shots of Ms. Simpson sashaying toward the camera (or more often, away from it).Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Michael RechtshaffenAdd Critic to Favorites

A bigger-louder-dumber take on that good ol' CBS hillbilly hit, the movie version of "The Dukes of Hazzard" starts off on the wrong foot and keeps heading, appropriately, south.Read the full review

Wall Street Journal | Joe MorgensternAdd Critic to Favorites

YEEEEE HAAAAW! They've gone and done it. The feature version of The Dukes Of Hazzard turns a sow's ear into a bigger sow's ear.Read the full review
