You, Me & Dupree

Owen Wilson stars as Randy Dupree, the underachieving, slob best
friend of Carl Peterson (Matt Dillon). Soon after his marriage to bombshell
Molly (Kate Hudson), Carl learns that Dupree has been evicted and has no
place to stay. After some resistance from Molly, Dupree moves in and calamity
ensues. From hosting “guy’s night” in the living room to setting the house on fire,
Dupree’s antics begin to put strain on Molly and Carl’s relationship. In the end,
it is up to Dupree to clean up all of the various messes he has made, not the least
of which is his best friend’s marriage.

Despite the simple plot, You, Me and Dupree is rarely dull, thanks in large part
to its colorful cast. Though Hudson’s comedic moments get a bit short-changed, both
Dillon and certainly Wilson are frat-boy funny and full of energy. Michael Douglas
even shows up as Molly’s over-protective father (a la Meet the Parents) to add a few
more laughs (and a little additional star power never hurts either). Though it’s not
exactly a thinking-man’s comedy and none of the actors are likely to get Oscar nods for
this one, You, Me and Dupree is a totally enjoyable 108 minutes. Especially
if you think shots
to the groin are funny. And who doesn’t?

You, Me & Dupree

DVD Overview

Outrageous comedy hit You, Me and Dupree comes to DVD on November 21, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Starring Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers) as the hilariously eccentric and free-spirited houseguest-from-hell, as well as Kate Hudson (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), Matt Dillon (There’s Something About Mary ) and Michael Douglas (The Sentinel), the You, Me and Dupree DVD features exclusive bonus features including an alternate ending and loads of wildly funny deleted scenes and outtakes.

Synopsis

Fresh from their Hawaiian honeymoon, newlyweds Carl and Molly Peterson (Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson) take in Carl’s best man, Randy Dupree (Owen Wilson) after he loses his job for attending their wedding. Party animal Dupree quickly overstays his welcome with Molly by plunging the Peterson’s well-ordered household into comic chaos with his irrepressible bachelor shenanigans. But while Carl is preoccupied with the demands of his unreasonable boss – and father-in-law – (Michael Douglas), Dupree’s offbeat charm works its magic on the lady of the house, throwing Carl into jealous doubt in the process. Ultimately, Dupree’s laidback logic and quirky wisdom put the couple on the road to true happiness.
