I've Been To The Cinema...
Bush Tucker Man:
To see 'The Dukes Of Hazzard'
All I can say is..........
It's differant.......
I was quite prepared to be disppointed by it after reading various reviews & hearing the originals casts view on it.
However, it's got to be taken as a whole & I think it works, even allowing for a cast I wasn't too sure about.
If you don't know by now;
Jessica Simpson; Daisy Duke
Johnny Knoxville; Luke Duke
Seann William Scott; Bo Duke
Wille Nelson; Uncle Jessie
Burt Reynolds; Boss Hogg
Linda Carter; Pauline (yes!, the Wonder Woman)
David Koechner; Cooter
It has been questioned why they're running a 36year old car, but in the early sequences it is seen to be fairly tatty & rusty (no flag, or decals) & possibly in keeping with hot-rodding farm-boys
Obviously the plot is inconsequential (as per the TV series), it was a 'rollicking good ride'.
Jessie was a wise-cracking comedian though, & it doesn't work
On second thoughts, go & see it!!
Just don't expect the 'innocence' of the TV series.
It does make you smile & really. really want a 69 Charger (even more so than I've ever done, & it's in my top 5 cars)

Oh, & the doors opened in the general early on in the film.
The climbing in is explained by Cooter later.
Wait for the 'Safe ride' :D & the guy with the Armadillo hat :?

Yes, that's one thing you never saw on the TV.
I'd have liked to have seen Jessie a lit bit more 'down to earth', not an em-bittered Korean War veteran.
And as for the phone books??? what were they thinking of?
