have read some of the other comment here i be expect something truly awful but be pleasantly surprise . reality check represent the original series wasn not that good . i think some people remember it with more affection than it deserve but apart from the car chase and daisy duke legs the script be weak and poorly act . the duke boy be too intelligent and posh for backwood hick and the shrunken bos hog be too cretinous to be evil and rosco be just hyper throughout every screen moment . it amaze the series actually last as long a it do because it run out of story line during the first series . back to the movie . if you watch this film in it own right and not a a direct comparison to however you remember the tv series and then it not bad at all . the real star be of course the general lee . the car chase and stunt be excellent and that really what d. o. h. be all about . johnny knoxville be his usual eccentric self and along with seann william scott a cousin bo the pair make this film really funny in a hilarious dumb and dumber sort of way the tv series never achieve . the lovely jessica simpson be a natch a miss daisy and burt reynolds make a much improve bos hog and m. c. gainey make a believably nasty rosco p. coltrane and the way he always should have be . if you do not like slapstick humour and crazy car stunt then you wouldn not be watch this film anyway because you should know what to expect . otherwise if you want an entertaining car action movie with a few good laugh that not too tax on the brain then go see this enjoyable romp with an open mind .
