Amazon.co.uk Review
There are a lot of broad comedies about men refusing to grow up, but few have the sly bite of You, Me and Dupree. Even though Carl (Matt Dillon, Crash, There's Something About Mary) is newly married to Molly (Kate Hudson, Almost Famous, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), when his best friend Dupree (Owen Wilson, Wedding Crashers, The Life Aquatic) ends up homeless, Carl invites Dupree into their house--in which Dupree promptly makes himself at home, culminating in setting the place on fire during lurid sex. But though he's trapped between his wife and his best friend, Carl may have bigger problems as his boss--and father-in-law--hates him and is sneakily working against his marriage. You, Me and Dupree seems at first glance to be a frat-boy farce about men being emasculated by their wives, but the well-written script, guided with a sure hand by director team Joe and Anthony Russo (who each directed episodes of the top-notch TV series Arrested Development), successfully walks a treacherous path between multi-layered characters and comic events, and is all the funnier as a result. Michael Douglas (Wonder Boys, Fatal Attraction) turns in a sharp, nasty performance as Molly's overly-possessive father. Also featuring Seth Rogen (The 40 Year Old Virgin). --Bret Fetzer

Some reviewers here have slated this film and honestly it's not THAT bad. It's your basic cheesy, American comedy. Great for Sunday afternoon, lazy viewing and not much more. It has a few moments that should get you laughing out loud, but not throughout the whole film. It is quite endearing in places and Owen Wilson makes you like Dupree despite his many flaws. Take it at face value and you should enjoy it.

When I first looked at the reviews of this film, I was a bit sceptical about watching it, but I must admit that it was the most delightful film. Really funny. So if you, like me, is in doubt of watching this film, please do, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Saw this DVD in the past and remembered it for being good. Just watched it again after ordering it (fed up with disappointing DVD's), and was just as good as the first time. One of those films you
could watch yet again. Based on a married couple with a pain of a friend having to stay with them - plenty of laughs, with good acting. I didn't get bored at all during the film, unlike others. Would definately recommend!

Ugh.
Substandard dribble. Usually Owen Wilson, Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson usually shine in romantic comedies and funny situations but this really was drained of all comedic moments... Read more

"We heard there were some bad boys in here"
This is an average romantic comedy, with some straightforward humor and a simple and predictable story. Read more

Glad it was only a rental!
Possibly it might get better towards the end, but I didn't have the patience to find out.
If I were you, I'd leave this film with Amazon.

Believe it or not this is a comedy, and yet everything is so predictable and is simply not very funny. Read more
