"[Wilson] keeps it afloat. The shrewdness of his performance is that he makes Dupree adorable and overbearing at the same time..." 07/21/2006 p.47Total Film
3 stars out of 5 -- "Wilson keeps the film together...[with] another performance of scene-stealing bohomie..." 09/01/2006 p.40 Entertainment Weekly
"Wilson provides his usual shaggy charm as a Peter Pan slacker disrupting the newlyweds..." 12/01/2006 69 ReelViews 6 of 10
You, Me and Dupree represents the second high-profile movie of the summer of 2006 to be mis-marketed as a comedy. As with The Break Up, this stars one of the featured actors from last year's surprise hit, Wedding Crashers. However, Owen Wilson isn't able to add more comedic pizzazz to You, Me and Dupree than Vince Vaughn was capable of providing to his anti-romance picture. In actuality, this is a flaccid drama with occasional "humorous" interludes. Unfortunately, most of the humor isn't any more amusing than the serious stuff is dramatic. You, Me and Dupree is a mess of conflicting tones and missed opportunities. - James Berardinelli
Variety 8 of 10
Three's a pleasant enough crowd in "You, Me and Dupree," a middling third-wheel comedy elevated a couple of notches by the ineffably weird charms of Owen Wilson. Proceeding from a conventional easy-laugh premise -- a pair of newlyweds forced to put up with an obnoxious houseguest -- pic sidesteps the potential gross-out monotony of its setup by heading in an unexpected and dramatically effective direction, though rarely eliciting more than a chuckle along the way...A random appearance by Harry Dean Stanton as a local drunk suggests the actor's best scenes -- along with his reason for appearing in the first place -- were left on the cutting-room floor. - Justin Chang
