umassjsp Review of You, Me and Dupree

You, Me and Dupree (2006)

Ending Fell Off Faster Than Hans Gruber Plunging off Nokotomi Towers

[6/10 · 29 May 2007]

After Wedding Crashers and Starsky & Hutch I have trouble imagining Owen Wilson coming out with better movies. The bar is set too high for me personally since I love those 2 films. You, Me and Dupree was like a horse running a race and then braking down at the 3/4 pole. After the dinner scene where Dillon attacks Wilson the movie just lost me. The "reality level" completely changed from that point and the ending was weaker than a Kahlua Sombrero. I gave the movie a 6 because half of the film was excellent but the ending just left me scratching my head that they could have screwed it up so bad. I feel bad for anyone who buys the DVD as this is not a movie that is "rewatchable". On the other hand I have watched Owen Wilson in the 2 movies I mentioned previously many times and they keep on delivering the goods.
