Yet another comedy about a man-child who won't grow up, You, Me and Dupree has the faintly stale smell of food left overnight on the counter.

Consensus: A rather generic entry into the arrested development subgenre, with themes borrowed from other more successful and funnier films. Dupree wears out its welcome.
Theatrical Release:25-08-2006
Synopsis: Several of the hottest comic talents in the film world today headline the story of a loveable, well-meaning, but arrested adolescent who drives his best friends nuts in the new comedy You, Me and... [More]
Starring: Matt Dillon, Kate Hudson, Owen Wilson, Seth Rogen
Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
Reviews for You, Me and Dupree
Watching [Wilson] mug wildly in another uneven film short on plot, the audience may start to wish he would go away for awhile and stop turning up in such repetitive comedies.
07/14/06
Owen Wilson single-handedly hauls this amiable, middle-of-the-road comedy out of sheer mediocrity.
07/14/06
Think of the uncompromisingly mediocre comedy You, Me and Dupree as a referendum on whether audiences are tiring of Owen Wilson's beatific stoner dude character as rapidly as I am.
07/14/06
Wilson, Dillon and Hudson are likable stars, and there are moments when their characters make a convincing circle of friends. But the Russo brothers don't have the maturity to blend the two prongs of the story they've written.
07/14/06
If Wilson's trademark grin is looking jaundiced by the finale, he has only himself to blame. With You, Me and Dupree, he has produced a movie as lazy and immature as its title character.
07/14/06
If you like watching Owen Wilson play the same character he's played for most of his Hollywood career, and like to be able to predict every comic bit in a movie, You, Me and Dupree is your cup of tea -- or, maybe, your six-pack.
07/14/06
The laughs are low-key and although the characters are credible they seem to be missing a few dimensions, but the actors make this movie about an immature guy who moves into his newlywed pal's house a pleasant enough visit.
07/14/06
Dupree sustains its groove for the most part, and in this summer of bloated spectaculars, it feels tight. It may be silly, but it’s a pleasant enough diversion.
07/14/06
Without core chemistry, the already flimsy plot is unbelievable. Without any sexual tension, the fate of the Hudson-Dillon marriage is irrelevant. Without any reason for Wilson to cut up and caper, why watch him do it?
07/14/06
You, Me & Dupree is best when Wilson is on-screen, mucking around with exquisite deadbeat timing, baring his all -- or his almost -- as the situation demands.
07/14/06
It's fast-paced amusing fluff if you wanna, "Stay loose, stay liquid and laugh a lot."

07/14/06
Director brothers Anthony and Joe Russo manage to keep the pace moving for the first two-thirds, steering clear of overt touchy-feeliness or extreme gross-outs. Then they suddenly lose their grip, and Wilson's good 20 minutes is up.
07/14/06
You, Me and Dupree is lazy, obvious, never emotionally real and, most unfortunately, sporadically funny at best. It's a movie you've seen before and you've seen done better. Owen, it's time to grow up.
07/14/06
If you've seen the trailer, you've seen only half the movie -- and all the jokes.
07/14/06
In You, Me and Dupree, Owen Wilson plays a freeloading houseguest who wears out his welcome after one day. The film wears out its welcome considerably sooner than that.
07/14/06
As Benjamin Franklin once observed, houseguests -- like fish -- begin to smell after three days. In [this] case, however, it takes less than two hours.

07/14/06
Little more than a compendium of sight gags that amount to the odd burst of laughter, "You, Me and Dupree" would be unwatchable if not for its formidable cast.
