It's stupid, but it wants to be...
The fact that this movie is funny kind of scares me a bit. It's one of those movies that is so awfully repetitive and ridiculously ludicrous and yet so over-the-top you can't help but fully immerse in its stupidity.It's funny; no ifs, ands or buts.The films plot if outrageous. Two stoner slacker kids named Jesse and Chester (I've always liked that name for some reason) wake up totally oblivious to the events of the night before. When they walk outside to find Jesse's car missing they set off on an adventure to find it, which leads them to aliens and ostriches (err, lamas) and gigantic chicks in bikinis.I can't believe I'm giving this film a B-!With one ridiculous scenario after another, `Dude, Where's My Car?' kind of solidifies itself as one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen, but it's no where near the worst because, in all of its preposterousness, it knows what it's trying to do and it does it well. I'm not really a fan of Ashton Kutcher or Seann William Scott (Scott was hilarious in `Role Models', but I find his `American Pie' stint hugely overrated) but they sell the `dumb good looking' character very well here. The endless run on some of the gags can get a tad annoying (that whole tattoo scene may be the most quotable, but it is also the most obnoxious) but then again, at times the repetition is what makes it so funny (the Chinese drive thru scene gets me every time).If you want smart and funny, get far away from this film...but if you want just plain funny, pop this in an enjoy.And then...
