Review:
You, me and Dupree is pretty much the definition of mediocre. Its not terribly bad but its not really good either. The movies plot is fairly straightforward and there are zero twists or turns to the whole production. The cast is serviceable but like the rest of the movie it all seems very basic and uninspired. Needless to say, some parts of the movie are just boring and some of the sense which are an attempt to elicit an emotional response come off as tiresome. The acting is extremely dodgy; sometimes its decent other times its like watching a community theater production with some extremely bland delivery. Wilson, Dillon, Hudson and even Michael Douglas are guilty of phoning in the majority of their performances here. There are a few funny scenes but there arent enough to save this movie.
