I can't even... where do I even start with this affront to all things good, clean and halfway intelligent? Let's start with the 'characters', shall we? They are all, down to the last man or woman, completely abhorrent. They're either too dumb to live, irredeemably nasty, completely obnoxious, total doormats, or in the case of Dupree, a walking disaster zone. Their worst feature though, is that they're written with NO consistency... and when their personality and motivations change at the drop of a hat, you start realise as little as you care about these people, the scriptwriter gives even less of a darn.As for the 'jokes', they mainly revolve around the unemployed and hopeless Dupree causing a catastrophe, then attempting to fix his mess, before making an even bigger pig's ear of it. Ho, ho. Needless to say, the newly engaged couple he's shacked up with have the patience of saints... and even when he nearly burns down their house, they STILL invite him back for more. Later on, despite being the cause of pretty much EVERY awful thing to befall them since their nuptials, Dupree is APOLOGISED to by his friend, and in enlisted in a 'daring' scheme to save his foundling marriage.WHAT THE...?! The illogicality of this plot is off the scale. It would give Mr Spock a heart attack. This is a guy who has literally taken over his mate's house, damaged his property, steals food, has absolutely NO respect for personal boundaries, throws parties without permission, uses the living room like his own personal brothel... AND WE'RE EXPECTED TO SIDE WITH HIM?!I suppose the reasoning behind this is, after putting up with his cr*p for days on end, Dupree's friend FINALLY snaps and starts throttling him at the dinner table. But, you know what? I'd have done that, and then some... And I haven't exactly got the worst temper around. I won't go into details... but a baseball bat and meat grinder would be involved. Change the rating from a 12 to an 18 straight away...Let me be blunt... People do NOT talk in real life like they do in this movie. People do not ACT like in real life like they do in this movie. There is NOTHING salvageable from this movie. It's DREADFUL.The whole thing seems to be a big cosmic joke, to royally p*ss off anyway with one functioning brain cell. The makers have the last laugh, though... they can somehow cobble together this toxic garbage and yet earn $$$ for it.People always moan about Premiership footballers getting lotsa cash for doing hardly anything at all. I tell you what... I'd rather have some early-30's prima donna sat on the bench getting 50k a week, than pay an unscrupulous director to work non-stop for six months on a project such as this. At least the soccer player isn't doing any harm... This, by comparison, causes people untold amounts of wasted hours, heads bashed against walls, glasses thrown through screens...It's a hazard. A public menace. BAN IT NOW. 2/10

This very much starts as a slacker type comedy with raucous male friends whilst Matt Dillon gets married and starts a new life as a newly wed married to Kate Hudson and he is working at his father in law's company (Michael Douglas).However Dillon takes in Dupree (Owen Wilson) when he goes through a rough patch and we cringe as he turns his life upside down with his nasty habits even leading to his house being burnt down and at work his father in law becomes overbearing even hinting that he does not want him to have children and wanting him to take his own surname. Now if Douglas's family name is so important to him why does he not want grandchildren?No wonder Dillon is going out of control and his relationship with his wife suffering as a result. He seemingly has no one to turn to. Dupree his best friend seems to have better relationships with the kids in the neighbourhood as children are the only ones he can relate to.The film has no idea what it wants to be. It is not a romantic comedy or a comedy at all. Maybe a dark comedy especially with Douglas overbearing on Dillon but this is punctured with the slapstick from Dupree and some of Dillon's friends such as Set Rogen. Dupree is hard to sympathise with even if you are a slacker although in the latter part he starts to inexplicably grow up. Also you can tell the film is not so good as you never believe in Dillon and Hudson as a couple.

This is the worst, shallowest, unfunny film I have endured for years. The concepts are poor, characters very shallow and plot is entirely ridiculous. Shouldn't the Dupree character be at least likable? I would have cheerfully strangled him on at least 10 occasions. Additionally, the idea of putting him in front of a classroom of impressionable kids is ludicrous - bordering on insane. Who in their right mind would want kids to hear the "mothership" clap-trap from Dupree? The staged elements - where he is a rude and imposing house-guest, were shown on the trailers to the film and were meant to shock. The fact that there was little else of any substance in the actual film is typical of this genre. The fire scene is also much more annoying than credible. Then when it clears up so easily is preposterous. The "lovable rogue" who hasn't grown up and still has fun skateboarding with the local kids, should never have been accepted by the producers as credible. I could go on but it does not deserve further consideration. Please respect yourself and the rest of your life and do not waste a second of it on watching this film!!!!

I know what you're gonna say. How could you actually enjoy You, me,and Dupree? I only assume that because it got a 5.7 on here, and I don't think that's very reasonable. I didn't love You, me, and Dupree, but I was one of the rare few who actually enjoyed it. Now if i were the main characters, Carl(Matt Dillon) and Molly(Kate Hudson), I probably would've jumped across that table and strangled Dupree(Owen Wilson). Dupree is a somewhat lovable character, but he would irritate me also. Masterbating in the living room, sleeping naked on the couch, setting the house on fire, and other things. I probably would've killed Dupree also. He sort of reminded me of Bob Wiley, if you've seen that movie. I love that movie. You, me,and Dupree is a likable film, and I think you should see it.The Plot:A newly married couple takes there friend Dupree in for shelter. But Dupree is a party animal;, and causes a load of crap to happen. Crap that may even ruin their marriage.
