Dude, Where's My Car?

Sporting a funny concept that gets very dumb in a hurry, Dude, Where's My Car? is a low-brow comedy about two stoners trying to find one dude's beat-up Yugo the morning after a night of partying so awesome they can't remember a thing. Clearly meant to be a Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure-type dumb-funny for Generation Y, Dude gets sidetracked with a sci-fi plot about sexy aliens looking for a space gadget and pretty much falls apart, throwing weak gags (most of them involving boobs) at the screen hoping some will stick. Dude No. 1, Ashton Kutcher, is as stupid and funny as he is in much the same role on That '70s Show. Dude No. 2, Seann William Scott (Road Trip), is just annoying and apparently capable of only one, brain-dead perma-grin for a facial expression. Not a necessary purchase. (R. Blackwelder)
