The good stuff:
1. Jessica Simpson's body
2. The soundtrack
3. The final car race sequence
4. The guys from Broken Lizard all having cameos
5. The Super Trooper scene

The bad stuff:
1. Bo Luke is an idiot
2. Luke Duke is Johnny Knoxville in boots
3. Boss Hogg is a bad Michael Bay villain
4. Cooter (although it's Champ Kind from Anchorman) is pretty lame
5. Roscoe P. Coltrane is just creepy
6. Willie Nelson is not Uncle Jesse
7. The plot
8. The other race car driver looks like a bad Ben Stiller immitator
9. The script
10. The scenes at the college campus
11. The fact that I'll never get my $20 back I just spent on this movie.



Go see Bad News Bears instead. It's much better.

So you can pause it whenever Jessica Simpson's scenes are on? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I forgot to add some stuff:

12. The doors on the General Lee OPEN
13. Jessica Simpson's acting ability
14. Enos
15. The Duke boys going to Georgia Tech

12. The doors on the General Lee OPEN
I guess they were covering their butt cause last night on tv they showed the real general lee. And they said look the doors really open. Made a big deal out of this.
15. The Duke boys going to Georgia Tech
Yeah, ok. Believable. :roll: :roll:
I hate remake movies. I doubt I can think of one that I"ve liked.

To there credit, the doors don't open later on in the movie, but not for the original reason as in the show: they were welded shut because it was a race car. They don't open in the movie because Cooter couldn't fix them. :roll:

I don't think I made myself clear on this one. They weren't students, they were visiting a geology lab. That whole segment of the movie was so out of context it was rediculous.

I also forgot to mention one other good point. Junior Brown is the Balladeer, a nice touch

Thanks for the heads up! I already had decided not to pay premium prices to see it in a theatre. I was going to wait until it was on DVD, now I may not even rent it.
