The Monotony of Monogamy

So these two cousins, Bo and Luke Duke have a sweet Charger and drive the hell out of it. They piss off the local cops, the state cops, and the all-powerful Burt Reynolds. The movie is filled with their antics of reckless driving, blowing stuff up, promiscuousness, and all around tomfoolery.

So Boss Hogg (Reynolds) is up to no good again and the Dukes find out about it (with the help of some top-notch investigation by Daisy Duke). When Uncle Jesse's farm is seized because of his moonshine buisness, its up to the cousins (Daisy included) to get it back. With some help from the General Lee avec the Confederate Flag, Bo and Duke not only save their farm, but the whole town of Hazzard, GA.

I liked Seann William Scott's and John Knocksville's portrayal of two southern troublemakers. Willy Nelson made a sweet old moonshiner who tokes up in the "smoke" house. And looking at Jessica Simpson in short shorts and bikini tops was not a downside. Sidebar, she annoys me whenever she speaks. Anyways, Farva makes an appearance as a demolitions "expert" as well as all of the other Super Trooper cops, even making direct reference to the film. Maybe because Ramathorn of Car Ram-Rod directed both films.

Overall: I give this movie a clown car in an accident, with another clown car. It has it all - sweet cars, funny people, and violence. What more could you ask for? I can think of a few things, but that's neither here nor there. Its a decent film with a solid cast. See it if you like not too much plot with a big side of sweetness.
