There had been a fad in Hollywood decades ago for making live-action versions of old television cartoons. None really worked, but this one has done more badly than the others. Of course, it didn't help that Dudley Do-Right cartoons were invariably shorts, rather ones that beget complicated situations.The cartoon had the premise of a strong and handsome but dense hero doing battle against the villain Snidely Whiplash, succeeding in the end when he finally uses his head. (One episode has him fooling Snidely into thinking some dynamite exploded when it didn't because he tricked him using a recording of an explosion-but Dudley had failed to defuse the real dynamite.) So what happens here? Snidely starts a fake gold rush, and Dudley eventually foils his plans. This could have been the basis of something good, but a confusing and unfunny story, ethnic stereotypes, and performers who don't correspond very well to their cartoon equivalents make this a bad movie. Even Dudley Do-Right completists should stay away.

This movie is what to be expected. Dudley Do Right is a live action movie based on the popular 60's cartoon.It has its moments, and if you are a fan of the cartoon you will find it enjoyable.Sarah Jessica parker plays his love interest in this film, you may think that she is the horse he rides through the movie, but its not. really i checked it on IMDb and she is not listed as the horse.She helps Dudley get places and he feeds her oats. The horse not sarah Jessica parker.I just can't stand to watch this film, its so frustrating trying to figure out if its his trusted horse or Sarah Jessica Parker. Really Sex in the city star, more like Sex in the Barnyard.Its really a funny movie with many funny slap stick moments. I suggest that you check it out today.

After the failure attempts on George of the Jungle. They now try another one, Dudley Do-Right.About an entirely dumb Mountie who tries to make the people feel safe to walk around. Right until the villain of the town, Snidely Whiplash has stolen all the gold and money with his hundred henchmen and plots to spread it all over the rivers of Canada to create a new Gold Rush. And using the stolen money to buy out the town and turn it into his own domain. And no ones wanting to arrest him because he's giving away free gold in the river. Dudley Do-Right must find a way to stop Snidley, and show the towns people that Snidley is still the villain.The movie has a load of pet peeves. Including script, plot, jokes, cast members, direction, and acting.The script needed to take away all the part that sucked and replace them with stuff that doesn't suck.The plot needed a better idea, but it didn't it made the movie unbearable within the first 1 minute of the movie.The 3/4 of the jokes were either lame or stupid. Including the usage of the characters thinking there are vampires. It was like they couldn't think of anything that is funny.Cast members, really poor choices and unsuitable roles. Brandon Fraiser should of skip doing this film. While Alfred Molina had far better roles than this movie.Direction and production, the whole movie was unorganized and the director probably didn't care it was going to bomb the box office without even trying to make the flow of the movie any good. And I can tell they waisted so much money on the sets and the props for a movie that didn't even deserve to be on the silver screen.Overrall this movie was so bad the DVDs and Videos of it are very scarce at the retail stores cause no one in their right minds would buy a below C rated movie.Even if you manage to find it at your rental store, just be worn that it's no where close to being good.

Dudley Do-Right, Canadian Mountie (Brendan Fraser) is on his post in a remote village in Canada. A lifelong resident of the area, it was Dudley's childhood dream to become a Mountie. He lives in a small cabin with only his horse, Horse, as a companion. Yet, two people from Dudley's past resurface in the small, nearby village. One is Nell (Sara Jessica Parker) who Dudley has loved since their tweenage years. She has returned from a trip around the world and is more lovely than ever. But, alas, the other returnee is the dastardly Snidely Whiplash (Alfred Molina). He was Dudley's rival for Nell's affections long ago, despite his evil and conniving ways. Soon, Snidely has taken over the town's businesses, by hook and by crook, and is making a big play for Nell's attention while Dudley manages to upset the ruling party in Ottawa and is fired from his post. The world is looking pretty harsh to Dudley, that is for certain. Will he recover his job and win the heart of Nell? This is a second, cartoon-based film for Fraser, after the infinitely more successful George of the Jungle. The same creative minds were at work here but the results are far from perfect. Don't blame the cast, however, for Fraser, Parker, and Molina, with a bit of help from Eric Idle and Alex Rocco, are the reasons to see the film at all. Simply put, they are terrific and rise above the mundane script and uneven direction. Certainly, there are some very funny scenes, such as the one in which Snidely orders a poor lady and her children out of their home or where Dudley has the bad luck to have a moose head fall on him during a critical moment with Nell. Now, that's entertainment. Unfortunately, though, a few good scenes do not a great film make. Yet, if you like silly nonsense with likable stars, you might take a chance with this film. Yes, it may elicit a yawn here or there, but it's truly not a bad way to spend a couple of leisure hours.
