Rating: 5.0
Actually a Pretty Decent Story�Lot Better Than You�d Think
At first glance "Dude Where's My Car" will probably hit you as one of those "dumb but funny" movies. In truth, of course it is, but the story that develops is actually pretty decent and a lot better than you would think initially.THE STORY:Chester (Sean William Scott, "American Pie" series, "Road Trip") and Jessie (Ashton Keaton) are two stoner buds who wake up from a night of partying with NO MEMORY of what they did over night. As the movie progresses it is slowly revealed that they had quite the night becoming mixed up with a transvestite striper, purchasing all types of stuff and even becoming caught up in the middle of an intergalactic battle between good and evil!!! In the midst of it all, they must also battle to save their relationships with their twin girlfriends and, of course, find Jessie's missing car.Best Scenes:- the blind boy meeting the alien chick- the Ostrich farm- Chinese take-out- ZOLTAN!!!!THE DVD FEATURES:The DVD is actually chalked full of some great extras, including:- Feature Length Commentary with the director, Sean William Scott and Ashton Kutcher: This commentary's about average/above average from most feature length commentary. Very entertaining to listen to as all three are pretty funny.- 5 Minute Featurette with Sean William Scott, Ashton Kutcher and Kristy Swanson (Christie Boner): Not bad for 5 minutes. They show some of the "behind-the-scenes" stuff and talk about the movie's plot. It basically looks like some quick commercial they aired on E! or something.- Movie Trailer and TV Commercial Spots: The usual. Nice extra.- 7 Extended Scenes: Going a little beyond the "deleted scene" extras they actually show the full scenes as it was originally filmed with the deleted footage still in. Overall, some of the deleted footage was pretty cool and would have actually added some to the story, but ultimately did not make a huge difference being left out anyway.In all, the DVD extras are a great and worthy bonus.THE VERDICT:If you're looking for a "dumb but funny, yet slightly intelligent" comedy, this is the ticket for you. Chalk full of laughs, some mindless fun and a pretty decent storyline this movie should be a pleaser to just about anyone. The DVD extras are a pleasant added bonus as well making this a great rental, OR, if you liked the movie enough and are so inclined, a decent addition to your DVD collection....
