Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)

Awesome Movie

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Two potheads wake up after a night of partying and cannot remember where they parked their car.Some stupid humor works and some is just stupid. This tends to lean more towards working, though there are plenty of stupid moments that are just beyond belief. There are also a few crude sexual jokes that I could have done without, but I suppose that is the audience. (Do you regret this one, Jennifer Garner?) There should be no surprise that at one point this was a "Beavis and Butt-Head" script.The great cast and sporadic humor make this enjoyable. Not great, maybe not a classic. And if it is to be called a "stoner comedy" (which is a stretch), it would not even compare to the likes of "Half Baked".

The only problem with Dude, Where's My Car? is that it deals with dumb burnouts. Unlike The Hangover or Cheech & Chong, Dude has virtually no offensive material. Sure there are sexual and drug references, but it's nothing that a little kid in kindergarten or first grade couldn't handle. Just having good parents is good enough. Knowing the way parents are today, it might be a bad idea.Dude, Where's My Car? is a mystery-comedy that is always exciting. The humour helps the story and mystery portions and that's just fine. It is about two dumb and irresponsible best friends named Jesse and Chester (Kutcher, Scott) who wake up one morning after a wild party with their angry twin girlfriends (Garner, Skoloff) with no memory of what happened the night before and wondering where their car is. Their anniversary gifts are in it and they must also find the "continuum-transfunctioner" that holds the power to the universe. The future of the universe depends on them, and their car. When they are out looking for the car, they meet wild and zany characters that get them into hilarious messes. But what probably makes the movie as memorable as it is are its random scenes that are thrown in just for the heck of it. Many movies try to do thrown-in-humour and fail. Dude is the perfect example of thrown-in-humour working like a charm. The first scene with this kind of humour happens when they are ordering Chinese food with their friend (Herman) and teethe woman over the speaker keeps replying with "And then?" The next one happens when they are changing clothes and see tattoos on their backs that say "DUDE" and "SWEET" and they keep asking what their tattoo says but they aren't clear enough. There are many other hilarious scenes that are gut-busting with dynamite dialogue, but it is ultimately these two scenes that stand out in most people's minds. I have seen this movie so many times. I will see it so many more times. if this were released today, it would have received critical acclaim.

I give this film 10./10, not because it's the best film ever made, or even the best comedy film ever made ... although I'd say it's close - but because it does exactly what it sets out to do, and does it perfectly - and hilariously. I place "Dude" alongside 'Lost in America', 'Office Space', 'Dodgeball', and 'Zoolander' as a pinnacle of modern American screen comedy. Why? These are films that create a goofy universe that works perfectly to house their stories and characters, everyone in them is uniformly hilarious, and they stand up under repeated viewing as enduringly uproarious comedies that are distinctive, engaging, and both funny as a whole, and filled with memorable, quotable moments that will stay with you forever - like the now-legendary "And then?" routine.Even though the overt stoner elements were somewhat toned down from its original conception, it still works fine, and in fact probably better for general audiences, because it's not beating us over the head with obvious stoner schtick , and stays focused on the general hilarity Jesse and Chester's whacked-out odyssey. The script is great, the direction is tight and pacy, Ashton and Sean William are perfectly, fantastically cute and dumb, and the supporting cast is just marvellous - from Hal Sparks' superb turn as the pompous Zoltan, to the wonderfully sassy police lady at the car-impound lot, to Chris "geek- in-cage-.com" Elliott. And I still rate Charlie O'Donnell's brilliant encounter with the super-hot aliens as probably the single funniest delivery of a line in the history of comedy: "We are not guys - we are hot chicks." ... "Yes, you *are*!"I can see why some people might not like it, and when I was first shown the opening scenes this movie by a friend, I remember thinking "This looks diabolical." But, soon after, it was shown on TV late one night, so out of regard for my friend (who is rarely wrong, and also turned me on to 'Office Spaace') I watched it, and within a few minutes I was laughing so much that I'd woken my wife up. Our whole family are now dedicated fans to this film, and all I can say in conclusion is that if you haven't watched it, and you like a good screwball comedy, then this is a MUST-SEE. Hats off to all concerned. A classic of the genre.

Dude,Where's My Car? is a mediocre movie with a very stupid storyline that is all over place and ends too quickly.I thought the movie would be similar to Harold and Kumar,the story sounds stupid but they make the best of it,that wasn't the case with this movie.I did think that Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott were very funny and clearly got on well with each other and they had me laughing a lot,especially the scene where their trying to tell each other what's written on their tattoos,but they just wern't enough to make up for the fact that the plot dosen't really go anywhere for about the first hour,and when it does its just ridiculous,and the several scenes in this movie that are a complete miss.There are some funny scenes,but I wouldn't recommend Dude Where's My Car? unless you are under thirteen because its just too ridiculous to really enjoy.Two potheads wake up from a night of partying and can't remember a thing.They have made a lot of mistakes the following night,but all they really care about is finding their car.
