You, Me and Dupree (2006)–*1/2
Quickie Review

A recently married man looks to have a bright beginning with his wife, but his “loveable fuckup” of a best friend and his father-in-law aren’t making it easy. Not nearly as funny as it should have been, this “serious” comedy never gets people in the mood to laugh. Matt Dillon overplays his married man character, making a spiritless Owen Wilson seem less funny in the process. Michael Douglas, too, is distracting, with the A-Lister making his character seem more important than it really is. Only Kate Hudson looks at ease in this film, acting like the star she has yet to become. Directed by the Russo Brothers of Arrested Development fame.
