Owen Wilson, Kate Hudson and Matt Dillon deliver non-stop laughs and fun in You, Me and Dupree. Newlyweds Carl and Molly (Dillon and Hudson) are just beginning their life together when Carl's oldest friend, the down-and-out bachelor Randy Dupree (Wilson), crashes on the couch. One comic mishap follows another, and soon it becomes obvious that two's company, but Dupree's a crowd. You'll laugh 'til it hurts with this hilarious, outrageous comedy!
There are a lot of broad comedies about men refusing to grow up, but few have the sly bite of You, Me and Dupree. Even though Carl (Matt Dillon, Crash, There's Something About Mary) is newly married to Molly (Kate Hudson, Almost Famous, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), when his best friend Dupree (Owen Wilson, Wedding Crashers, The Life Aquatic) ends up homeless, Carl invites Dupree into their house--in which Dupree promptly makes himself at home, culminating in setting the place on fire during lurid sex. But though he's trapped between his wife and his best friend, Carl may have bigger problems as his boss--and father-in-law--hates him and is sneakily working against his marriage. You, Me and Dupree seems at first glance to be a frat-boy farce about men being emasculated by their wives, but the well-written script, guided with a sure hand by director team Joe and Anthony Russo (who each directed episodes of the top-notch TV series Arrested Development), successfully walks a treacherous path between multi-layered characters and comic events, and is all the funnier as a result. Michael Douglas (Wonder Boys, Fatal Attraction) turns in a sharp, nasty performance as Molly's overly-possessive father. Also featuring Seth Rogan (The 40 Year Old Virgin). --Bret Fetzer

The film was funny all around...it is absolutely hilarious!!:
At first I was perplexed saddened to see so many people give this movie negative reviews even though the plot was so strong and it is hard to argue that it wasn't funny (my funniest scene was where Kate Hudson's character Molly goes to the bathroom and finds the toilet nearly overflowing with Dupree's fecal matter...that part made me laugh nonstop for a whole minute)!! It also cracked me up at the part where Matt Dillon's character Carl tells Dupree that what he did in the bathroom and how he made Molly... more info
Based on truth - stretch to being funny:
I THOUGHT ANOTHER NOT SO FUNNY FILM FROM HOLLYWOOD. IT WAS A BLAST. THE WRITERS TOOK CERTAIN TRUTHS ABOUT A YOUNG MARRIAGE ADJUSTING FROM FORMER SINGLE LIFE TO BEING A COUPLE. THE ACTING WAS EXCELLENT. WHAT A FUNNY FUNNY MOVIE.
Carl-ness.:
You, Me and Dupree is a cute but slightly vulgar comedy from 2006. Kate Hudson and Matt Dillon have great chemistry and banter with each other, what is kinda weird is that Hudson ended up having a relationship with Owen Wilson after this movie was released?! And now she's dating Lance Armstrong and he has a cameo in this film, even weirder? Wilson's acting has never been spectacular but his dopey charm is sort of refreshing. Michael Douglas seems out of place, he's so unlikeable in this one! The film is a... more info
You and me and one good time...:
I walked into `You, Me and Dupree' expecting nothing much. I actually expected to dread the entire experience. Surprisingly though, `You, Me and Dupree' is not your typical `buddy comedy' and it goes in directions I didn't expect to see from this type of film. It has its missteps, that's for sure, but it makes up for them with some smart scripting and some sincere performances. The film opens at the wedding between Carl and Molly. Carl's best man is Dupree and the two of them couldn't be any more... more info
