Owen Wilson, Kate Hudson, Matt Dillon

Carl and Molly Peterson are just starting their new life together --complete with a cute house, boring neighbors, stable jobs and the routines of newlywed existence. There's just one unfortunate hitch...( read more  read more... ) in their perfectly constructed new world. And his name is Dupree. Randy Dupree, Carl's oldest friend and perpetual bachelor, has found himself with nowhere to go after being fired. Carl yanks his jobless/homeless pal out of the bar he's living in and invites him to temporarily crash on the couch -- that's just what friends do. At first, Carl is quite pleased to have his good buddy as a permanent couch guest, while Molly bears the brunt of Dupree's immature antics. But, as Carl becomes buried in his grown-up job, he finds it harder and harder to juggle Dupree and his responsibilities as a husband. To make matters worse, Dupree uses his ample spare time to become a great companion for Molly. Even her dad and the neighbors are falling for his carefree wisdom and charm -- frustrating Carl to no end. Soon, everyone (but Carl) begins to root for Dupree to stick around. But as Dupree starts to become a fixture in the Peterson's home, three becomes not just a crowd -- but a full blown, hilarious catastrophe.

    Dis Movie has Jokes. its not great, its okay but its pretty damn funny
  • October 9, 2009
    A sort of mix of a few ideas from a few more successful rom-coms I felt. Has a few funny moments and a strong cast who are from some good comedies. Worth a watch but not a patch on the likes of Meet the parents.
  • May 27, 2009
    This comedy theoretically has all it takes: A promising set up situation, talented actors and all that jazz. Why the film doesn't work after all has several reasons: there aren't just too many jokes working, the characters of Carl and Molly take turns in being asses while Dupree ...( read more)remains the annoying but kind hearted idiot, which makes for rather predictable but not very believable developments. The result is not boring, but far from convincing. This could have been so much better, especially Owen Wilson has seen better days.

    not bad dupree is funny when he shat in the bedroom toilet
  • November 8, 2008
    Not a side-splitting comedy, but has it?s fair share of comical moments. Owen Wilson?s character is truly annoying as the guest who has well and truly outstayed his welcome. This is one of those, sit back and relax, easy watching films ? perhaps a bit of a comedown for Michael ...( read more)Douglas and the character he plays, but an ok film to watch once.

    This movie was playing on one of my local listings, and periodically, I would flip to see what was transpiring. Nothing much. This entire movie was built on the dreary, formulaic structure of love found, love lost, love found again. Kate Hudson and Matt Dillon could do so much...( read more) better.

    Come on, Matt Dillon! Why not love it! Practical and fun storyline

Critic Reviews

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

You, Me and Dupree seems to have been made by people who don't know the difference between a light comedy and an inconsequential one. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Amiable if ragtag. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Wilson deserves better, too. He's too smart to make me believe he'd actually think this movie is funny. full review

July 14, 2006
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Yet another comedy about a man-child who won't grow up, You, Me and Dupree has the faintly stale smell of food left overnight on the counter. full review

July 14, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

If Wilson's trademark grin is looking jaundiced by the finale, he has only himself to blame. With You, Me and Dupree, he has produced a movie as lazy and immature as its title character. full review

July 14, 2006
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

You, Me & Dupree is best when Wilson is on-screen, mucking around with exquisite deadbeat timing, baring his all -- or his almost -- as the situation demands. full review

July 14, 2006
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Director brothers Anthony and Joe Russo manage to keep the pace moving for the first two-thirds, steering clear of overt touchy-feeliness or extreme gross-outs. Then they suddenly lose their grip, and... full review

Kurt Loder, MTV

Owen Wilson delivers, of course — but he delivers what he always does: a blue-eyed, fluffy-haired amiability that's pretty much irresistible, and the picture is as light and insubstantial as an ... full review

July 13, 2006
Claudia Puig, USA Today

This is cringe-inducing humor at its most wooden. full review

July 13, 2006
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

You, Me And Dupree drains Owen Wilson's tank of charm down to the fumes. full review

    Can I please have the last 90 minutes of my life back? Not anywhere near as funny as it could have been, and it kinda pissed me off... everyone kept getting mad at Carl and he's the only one I found legit! Owen Wilson kept me from crying or falling asleep but that's about it.
