Rating: 5.0
Delightfully therapeutic
"Dude, Where's My Car?" is a fascinating study of the human mind, and how we react when one, in fact, loses their car. The actual scenario of losing your car, whether by theft or carelessness, et al, is a mortifying experience.While the car is not a child, we sometimes treat it like one. We clean it when it's dirty, we bring it inside when the elements might harm it. When it's thirsty, we give it a drink, when it gets tired, we allow it to rest.As we watch Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott deal with their loss, we see them use comedic capers to disguise their anguish. Their car is missing, but are they really laughing, or are they masking the internal conflict?The director of "Dude, Where's My Car?" has created a source of therapy (perhaps unintentionally) for all that are missing something in their lives. Kutcher and Scott show us that while it is important to cope with your loss, it is okay to have fun doing it. Essentially, "Dude, Where's My Car?" is to Generation-X, what "Ordinary People" was to the Baby-Boomers.With clever writing and wonderful cameos by Jennifer Garner ("Alias") and Kristy Swanson (the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), this movie is a must-see for all of you experiencing a loss.
