The Dukes Of Hazzard
Synopsis: Cousins Bo (Scott) and Luke (Knoxville) Duke, with a little help from their cousin Daisy (Simpson) and Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), egg on the authorities of Hazzard County, Boss Hogg and Sheriff Coltrane.My Thoughts: To be honest, I bought this movie so I could stare at Jessica Simpson for an hour and a half. And in that aspect, I was not disappointed in the least. She's only briefly on screen for the first 45 minutes or so, but from then on she plays a pivotal role in the film. This movie makes me appreciate her hotness that much more. As for the actual movie.. I enjoyed it. I've read some reviews saying it wasn't like the TV show and just basically people ragging on it. Well, I've never seen the TV show so I can't go down that road. I can however tell you that I liked it.
Id say about 40 minutes of the film consists of high speed, backwoods and city car chases. They're pretty far fetched but they are intense and they do actually raise your heart beat. The movie is a comedy, and it did have me laughing for most of it. Willie Nelson rules and he plays the uncle. I don't want to give the story line away, but it deals with a corrupt local government who took over the Dukes' farm and they do whatever they can to get it back.
Rating: I'm going to give this movie three Jessica's. It was entertaining and basically all you could expect from a comedy about rednecks.



Closing Touch: If you like hot women (Simpsons not the only hot one in the movie), car chases and comedy, then this should be a good movie to rent.
