I saw this movie sitting in the library and decided to finally watch it; it was nothing like I expected. I thought it was going to be a really funny comedy. But it just wasn’t funny. I like other Owen Wilson movies, but this isn’t one of his better ones. I would have like the movie a lot more if were more lightweight, and focused more on the comedy. The movie tries to be more than just a comedy, but it doesn’t work. Its a bad example of a comedy trying too hard to be serious.
Even though Dillon is one married to Hudson, about half-way through to the movie it seems that Wilson’s Dupree would have been a better husband. Not only does Dupree change who he is, becoming an actual productive member of society, but Carl (Wilson) becomes a work-alcoholic, violent and crazy husband.
Overall, it is a decent movie, watch it if you have nothing better to watch some night.
