Sure the trailer looks funny, but is the movie going to be as funny as the trailer? Did they give away all the good parts in the trailer?

Thankfully, the answers are yes and no. Yes, the movie is funny too, and no, the trailer doesn't ruin it.

After having my tastebuds nearly ruined by Lord of the Rings last night, I needed a sorbet tonight: something to cleanse my pallet. Some mindless fun.

Owen Wilson plays Dupree. Dupree is both a best friend to Carl, and is also constantly messing up. Wilson played the exact same character in Wedding Crashers, Shanghai Nights, and Zoolander. So I am glad to see he isn't stereotyping himself.

Matt Damon plays Carl. While Dupree is 30 years old and partying like he's 18, Carl has grown up and now has a wife, house and job. He's working hard to make a living, sometimes working late nights to impress his boss (who also happens to be his father-in-law).

Anyways, this movie does a pretty good job following the formula in other buddy pictures (Saving Silverman and Envy both come to mind). One friend is too serious, and the other is too laid back. Not to ruin it, but as the formula goes, at the end of the movie the serious one has learned to loosen up and the laid back one finally gets off his lazy ass and does something.

Good movie. Funny. Cute. Love Kate Hudson.
