You, Me and Dupree (2006)
Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance
Starring: Owen Wilson, Kate Hudson, Matt Dillon, Michael Douglas, Seth Rogen
A friend in need, is a friend in deed. Or is it? When Carl (Dillon) is getting married to Molly (Hudson), he makes his best friend Dupree (Wison) as his best man. What comes after that is something that even Carl never imagined. Dupree is jobless, homeless, car less and penniless and taking pity on his unfortunate plight, he decides to let Dupree stay back for a few days much to the ire of Molly. Dupree's stupidity and antics doesn't win him too much love from the newly weds and Carl and Molly repeatedly feel they did the biggest mistake. Molly is the daughter of Bob Thompson (Douglas) who is the owner of the company where Carl works. Carl repeatedly feels the Bob is trying to put him down and is not very happy with their marriage. Bob suggests Carl drops his last name in favour of Molly's, makes his life at work difficult, does not show any concern or love to his new son-in-low and also proposed that he should undergo a vasectomy. The movie has some light humour and can be called 'funny' to an extent. It is a very typical romance-comedy movie and has more or less all the elements that one would expect. It is not outright funny or heavy on the romance bit and balances the two very well.
Thumbs up: Good, interesting story
Thumbs down: Humour is a bit cliched
