in hazzard county and georgia and cousin bo and luke duke ( scott and knoxville ) and their cousin daisy duke ( jessica simpson ) run moonshine make by their uncle jesse ( willie nelson ) while avoid the local authority and bos hog ( burt reynolds ) . their problem with the bos be only begin a they learn he be plot to strip mine the town for valuable ore find below it . i have never see the tv show and after watch the movie and i be not go to start any time soon . i like stupid comedy but this one do not offer many laugh . it be a pretty dull picture with the first hour be really hard to sit through . the second part be a little good but this film be still a missed opportunity . the film focus on bo and luke way too much . the character in general weren not very interesting and the actor portray them do not do a very good job . the act wasn not very good . i wasn not expect it to be good in the first place but none of the lead be very funny . seann william scott and johnny knoxville both give below average performance . the latter be pretty good a stifler but he try way too hard here . the latter just seem to be look for a paycheck and nothing else . jessica simpson isn not know for her acting nor be she really know for her singing . she famous for have her own reality show and for say really dumb thing . she be pretty but she a weak actor . it doesn not matter though because she doesn not really appear in the movie and the character she play isn not complex or anything . willie nelson also have a minor role and he doesn not do anything special . the screenplay be write by john obrien and he make two film prior to the duke of hazzard . the first one be cradle to the grave and which be okay . the second one be starsky and hutch which be pretty funny . he doesn not do a good job here though a the story be a mess . he also forget to add joke and a few other thing that would have make this film work well . the movie be also pretty long for a comedy . okay and 106 minute isn not exactly long but it feel so much long because there very little humor in the first hour . i think comedy should be keep short or else they have to find a lot of material to cover the entire running time . the duke of hazzard barely have enough funny gag to keep it go for thirty minute let alone 106 minute . the car sequence be average and they do not save an already troubled film . in the end and duke of hazzard may appeal to a few people but most people will probably find it dull and it good if you just skip it . rating 4/10 .
