So I don't have to see the film...
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
I saw an ad on a bus for the movie and I saw Luke wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt. I said to myself something is very wrong here. Since when do the good ol' Duke boys like Led Zeppelin?
Sounds like sour grapes that he didn't get a cameo.
Calling Dukes of Hazard a 'classic family show' is a bit of a stretch, but I agree with the old cooter. Hollywood did the same thing with the Cat in the Hat. Made an insipid innuendo filled piece of drek.
Saw the previews - no way. Classic Dukes should have been left alone.
Now this really aggravates me. My grandson is just now getting into the old show on DVD and will surely want to see the movie. Sounds like he won't be able to.
How dare they suly the modest reputation Daisy Duke mainteined in the series, she looked like a nun!

I'm curious as to whether or not the Confederate flag was removed from the top of the car. DOES ANYBODY KNOW? I'll be extremely P.O.'d if it has been, & I need to know before I go see the movie.
Take a classic movie or TV show.
Skim off the surface.
Discard remaining substance.
Add sexual content, drug humor, profanity, gross stereotypes, political correctness.
Insert Flavor of the Month Kutcher clone, a respected actor, a scantily-clad "it" girl, complete with fake breasts, collagen lips, cheek implants, liposuction and Botox where needed. Garnish with a gratuitous cameo or seven.
Add CGI where needed to shore up deficiencies in the plot.
Market the hell out of it. Build up hopes unrealistically high with previews.
Charge $7 a butt, more on the coasts.
After 6-12 months an a successful international run, release the "director's cut" two disc DVD, complete with cookie-cutter interviews, moronic outtakes and up to four "alternate endings."
Laugh all the way to the bank, knowing talentless directors and scriptwriters with no new ideas can invest in hack actors and defraud the movie-going public.
Oh, and everyone involved in this Dukes movie should be horsewhipped for defiling a classic as they have done. I mean, Sean William Scott? What were they thinking?
Actually, I didn't like the TV series all that well but I guess well enough that we watched it.
They have a Black guy playing Boss Hogg. I wonder if his name will still be Jefferson Davis Hogg?
I still remember being in one of the largest Black neighborhoods in Portsmouth, VA and seeing not one, but two different kids with confederate flags on their trikes. I then remembered, they were Dukes of Hazzard, toys.
So I don't have to see the film...
You know, I saw the trailer and, while the movie looks dumb, I noticed Lynda Carter in a role. She still looks beautiful!
Next month?
I thought this movie had come and bombed already.
Hollyweird could not have made anything modern southern to save their lives.
I saw a clip of the new movie and I did not see one... I guess political correctness strikes again.
I agree with another poster on this thread - why was this movie made? The producers should have just had the car on for 90 minutes and let Jessica Simpson prance and slither around a-la Tawny Kittaen (spelling?).
That's my soapbox rant - please drive through.
