Pretty freakin' hilarious...

I loved the show and the 2005 movie was alright but this one was pretty freakin' hilarious.I watched it last night and couldn't stop laughing. I'll have to admit, Johnny Knoxville was a hott Luke Duke but Randy Wayne is a hotter one :D. And Jonathan Bennett made a better Bo Duke, even though he was really stupid in this movie. Also, I never thought I'd ever say this, but I liked Jessica Simpson's portrayal of Daisy Duke better. The Deal or no Deal chick was too skinny and she had a really bad fake southern accent. And again, Willie Nelson was pretty funny as Uncle Jesse. Unlinke the last movie, one of my favourite characters in this one was Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, portrayed by the always hilarious Harland Williams. Everything he did was funny and I loved how protective he was over Flash. Boss Hogg was better when played by Burt Reynolds and the guy that played Cooter in this movie was better. Anyways, I still think the series is better than both movies, and the 2005 movie had more of a plot than this one, but this movie was, as I already said, pretty freakin' hilarious. I'd only recommend this movie to people who love to laugh at stupid things and the people who dose't mind if the movie is nothing like the show, or if you haven't seen the show, that's even better.
