Features: DVD
Meet Jesse (Ashton Kutcher, TV's That 70's Show) and Chester Sean William Scott, American Pie), two dimwitted yet lovable party animals who wake up one morning with a burning question: Dude, Where's My Car? Their only clues are a match-book cover from Kitty Kat strip club and a year's supply of pudding in the fridge. As they retrace their steps, these dudes are in for the ride of their lives, encountering hot alien chicks, dodging killer ostriches, and trying to score "special treats" from their ticked-off twin girlfriends. It's an outrageously sweeeet comedy adventure that's "totally entertaining all the way through...totally!" (iFilm).

Editor's Note
Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott) got really wasted last night. The fridge is packed with pudding, their girlfriends--"The Twins"--are ticked off, and somehow Jesse's car has disappeared. So the hapless stoners set out to find the car, which happens to have their girlfriends' anniversary presents in it. But they soon discover that losing the car isn't half the story. High school hottie Christie (Kristy Swanson) is mysteriously hot for Jesse, Chester is a favorite customer at the local topless club, and they owe a suitcase full of money to a transvestite stripper. On top of all that, they're being pursued by a minivan full of geeks, horny "space babes," and a couple of "totally gay" Scandinavian dudes--all trying to find the "continuum transfunctioner," the device that can save or destroy the universe. Duuude....DUDE's comic formula is pretty simple: throw the dudes in one bizarre situation after another and watch them goof their way out. Given the movie's PG-13 rating, it all lands on the lighter side of the teen-comedy spectrum, and if angry ostriches, donut-loving cops, a 50-foot bimbo in a miniskirt, and a pot-smoking dog sound like a good combo, DUDE has got a deal for you.

"...[Kutcher and Scott] bring charm and vulnerability to their slacker roles..." 02/01/2001 p.67Sight and Sound
"...Amiable in its frolicking....Raw and touchingly vulnerable..." 03/01/2001 p.46-7 James Berardinelli's ReelViews 5 of 10
Someone once said that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Well, if I'd listened to that advice, I never would have become a film critic, and I certainly wouldn't be reviewing movies like "Dude, Where's My Car?" Actually, to state I don't have any positive comments about the film is untrue. Much to my acute embarrassment, I laughed about a half-dozen times during the 85 minute running length. But moments of effective humor are rare oases amidst a desert of painfully unfunny and sophomoric material. And, when so little comedy succeeds, even the bits that work start to seem like mirages.
Village Voice 7 of 10
There is simply no good reason why 20th Century Fox refused to screen the radiantly stoopid "Dude, Where's My Car?" for criticsÑit's a welcome whiff of potsmoke in an especially fetid Oscar-baiting season, an absurdist Homeric epic to show the Coen brothers what for. - Jessica Winter
