Amazon.co.uk Review
An entry into an already rather overcrowded market, Dude, Where's My Car? is a very dumb but exuberant comedy aimed fairly and squarely at the teen market. An attempt to recreate the classic feel of certain movies from the late 80s and early 90s, it centres around two hopeless individuals (Jesse and Chester) and their efforts to piece together the night before and, more importantly, find Jesse's car. The plot--such as it is, takes in many a convoluted turn with the introduction of transsexual strippers and aliens but still finds itself stretched thin over the course of the meagre 79 minutes. The film's aspirations are clear. With it's central duo and infuriating use of catchphrases it is almost a direct steal from Wayne's World and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, both of which are leagues ahead in terms of writing, performance and general style. The humour here is base and far too obvious, concentrating on the old standbys of sex and toilets, plus a small dig at blind children along the way. For a better example of such humour head for the genuinely funny American Pie or, for a teen comedy with actual intelligence and panache, the peerless 10 Things I Hate About You.
On The DVD: The extensive range of extra features are in keeping with the overall style of the project. The audio commentary from director Danny Leiner and his two main stars is simply a succession of in-jokes and childish hysterics, while the behind the scenes documentary is equally banal. There is a selection of extended scenes, trailers and TV spots plus a music video from Grand Theft Auto, the best thing about the whole package. --Phil Udell

I feel guilty for enjoying this film. One night I was watching tv - channel hopping - and luckily I missed the credits for this film (they're awful) and saw most of the first scene. It was so surreal I kept going. As the improbability of the events ramped up I was sure that it would eventually 'jump the shark' and I would lose interest.
I never did!
Played out, as it is, in short sketches they're is something here I feel to satisfy anyone - although my wife recommends watching it whilst having a drink. It's funnier if you just let yourself go!
One or two sections are pap - but that is where the sketch based system really works. if there is a bad joke just wait a minute - another one will be along soon!
Heartily recommended.

This is one of those stupid films that everyone seems to love and I am certainly one of them. If you are thinking of buying this film then you know what to expect. There are scenes throughout that made me laugh out loud.
Whatever this movie lacks in intelligence is compensated by the talent of its two stars:Seann William Scott is as entertaining as in American Pie and Road Trip and as for Ashton Kutcher...Well, That 70's Show aside, he's never really managed to be this funny again.
The only negative reviews of this film you will read will be from people who were expecting a different kind of film, if you know what type of film this is you won't be dissappointed.

Unlike the "1 star" reviewers (who are all "American Pie rocks and anything else is rubbish" members) - I actually enjoyed this film. It requires absolutely no thought and can just wash over you. Yes, some of the gags have been done before, but some of the stuff is very fresh and well scripted. The script itself is incredibly weak, but that doesn't matter - as I say, you don't have to think when watching this film. As I hated American Pie and I fail to see any humour in any of the films, I can take a different view of american teen comedies.And as I am not a giggling teenager, (on the contrary, I am a lot closer to 40 than 18!) I can honestly say this was a good film. It doesn't take itself too serviously, it doesn't ask for audience participation - it is simply a string of reasonably funny scenes built around a flimsy story. At the current price(£3.88) I would say buy it. Any more than a fiver, rent it! But either way, if you like teen comedies, thius is worth a shot.

For this price, you'd be mad not to!
This film is plain brilliant. The script is off-the-wall and the main characters, Jesse and Chester, are totally useless but very likeable. Read more

The most useless thing I've ever seen in my entire life. In a sense it's worth watching because it's improbable anyone could come up with something more stupid than this thing, I... Read more

Funniest film ever
I love this film. It's childish and silly and I can't stop laughing every time I watch it. The Amazon reviewer is a humourless trout.

Dude, Where's A Good Film?
'Dude, Where's My Car?' is 80 minutes of dumb comedy. Y'know the comedy that's funny when you're 13 (I know this is a 15). Read more

drama at its finest
In recent years there has been a strong tendency for Hollywood film-makers to derive their plots from the work of William Shakespeare- the master playwright of Stafford-upon-Avon. Read more
