UnowPriceless hyped garbage
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
skeeterchicakb83 I am a huge fan of the TV show, and as this movie was so similar, I enjoyed almost every minute of it. It was great to see Luke and Bo back and looking great - still the same old boys! Daisy was wonderful -a strong woman and still a lovely one. Enos came back! YAY! He and Daisy finally hooked up! YAY! Roscoe was himself too! Uncle Jesse was great as the head of the family - he will be missed. As is Boss - the pseudo-villainy of the man was missing from this, but Roscoe followed in his footsteps well.Warning: HERE BE SPOILERS!!! What I didn't like was that Daisy seemed to be flaky at the end. I never got that out of the TV show, and I really didn't think that she would break Enos' heart like that; just saying that she can't go through with the wedding because she saw her ex. She ought to know Enos is not like her ex. He was wonderful as the still loyal man.And my only question is - when are Bo and Luke going to get hitched? Some lucky girl out there is waiting to be a Mrs. Duke.
voicemaster71 THIS COMMENT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS :I never thought they would ever do it, so I was totally blown away when I saw the Dukes of Hazzard Reunion on CBS back in 1997. The series became hot all over again when it played on TNN and now on CMT. It was indeed sad that Sorrell Booke as Boss Hogg had died. I remember hearing about it during my senior year in college. But his being acknowledged was fantastic. I never once imagined Rosco as both boss and sheriff of Hazzard, but that made it even more enjoyable. I feel that Catherine Bach still looks great as Daisy Duke. Okay, sure she didn't have the same physique she did in the series, but you have to understand. She recently had a baby prior to filming this movie and she was in her 40's at the time as opposed to being in her 20s/'30's during the series. Not many people have that same physique when they get older. She looked fantastic!! Tom Wopat and John Schneider had no trouble returning to the roles of Bo and Luke Duke. Now Bo being a NASCAR driver, I could believe, I felt that Luke being a chief fireman was a bit odd. Daisy had a good catch up story of being in a failed marriage and she put herself through college and graduate school studying ecology. Great to see Enos back and now he's a tough competent cop from L.A. but still maintains his honest,shy, boyish charm. I loved that he and Daisy courted and was looking forward to their marriage and the end of the movie, only to be greatly disappointed that the wedding was called off because Daisy's idiot ex husband shows up by accident. James Best is Funnier than ever as Rosco P. Coltrane, now the head honcho of Hazzard County and his scenes with Stella Stevens as Mama Max were absolute jewels to watch. One priceless scene was the emotional scene when he talks to the portrait of the late Boss Hogg. I loved the fact that Cooter also served in Congress just like Ben Jones did in real life. And it was great to see Rick Hurst return as Cletus, especially since the series never revealed where he vanished to when he departed during the fifth season. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was Bubba and Bertha Jo. Now I know that these movies need supportive characters, but surely they could have come up with better. Bubba and Betha Jo got on my nerves and the fact that they married instead of Daisy and Enos made me despise them even more. But it is still a terrific reunion movie and especially to see Bo and Luke racing around in the General Lee just like the old days. It is especially a great chance to see Denver Pyle one more time as Uncle Jesse since sadly, he would pass away on Christmas of that same year. The Dukes of Hazzard Reunion is a movie I will gladly give two thumbs up.
bob the moo Years after the family have grown up and gone their separate ways, Uncle Jessie organises a reunion to bring all the clan back together again for a party. Once Luke, Bo, Daisy and Cooter are all back he tells them that he needs help to fight a property developer who is trying to build a theme park on the swamp and build access across his property. The developer challenges the boys to a race – her stock car against theirs with the winner taking all. When Daisy makes a discovery that all may not be what it appears she is kidnapped – can the boys rescue Daisy and win the race?I watched the TV show when I was younger but I can't remember much beyond comedy lawmen, Daisy's body and car chase after car chase, so maybe this film wasn't aimed at me – but I watched it anyway. The reunion has a thin plot that is a little daffy but done with a slight bit of tongue in cheek. It gets a little stretched at times (the final race is a bit of a joke) as it takes on too many commitments without fitting them in well, but the light tone helps this.The comedy is gentle and helps the film generally. The car chases are quite basic but there are one or two moments where the stunt drivers deserve a lot of credit (a mid air collision is a high point) but the really cheap back projection spoils any illusion of who is in the cars for real. If you were looking for genuine tension or excitement then you're in the wrong place I'm afraid.The cast look genuinely happy to be back and there is a respectful tone for those who had died since the TV show wrapped – Booke's Boss Hog being the biggest loss I think. However everyone does what they are supposed to do. Uncle Jessie doesn't look that much older, Wopat and Schneider enjoy themselves and Bach still looks good despite not quite having the same body that she had as a youngster! Best reprises his role well and also covers for the loss of Booke. The addition of some martial arts action in the shape of Cynthia Rothrock adds a little spice to the mix and stops it becoming old too quickly.Overall this is all a bit silly and is probably best served to fans however there is enough fun here to justify those of us who watched the series but wouldn't call ourselves fans.
Big Movie Fan It is quite rare for a TV reunion movie to be as good as a series itself but this Dukes of Hazzard movie was great.The original Dukes of Hazzard series was just plain fun-it was the type of show anyone could enjoy. This movie recreated the magic of the original series and even though the stars were a lot older that made absolutely no difference to me-I still liked them and they were still convincing in their roles.The movie may not have had Boss Hogg in but to it's credit they did acknowledge Boss Hogg unlike some TV reunion movies which seem to forget certain characters.A great film which will be loved by fans of the TV series.
