Self-consciously stupid and very amusing
25 August 2002
Let me begin by saying that I don't like things like "Scary Movie," I consider the wasted time I spent on "Corky Romano" to be probably the most depressing 90 minutes of my life, and I intentionally avoid watching garbage like "Jurassic Park III" so that when people at my video store ask for a recommendation I can't give it. All of that being said, I thought "Dude, Where's My Car?" was hilarious.

There is a very big difference between this movie and things like "Joe Dirt" (which is rented way too often for me to still believe in human intelligence). The difference is that "Dude, Where's My Car" knows full well that it's stupid. Most bad comedies like to masquerade as an actual film, but this one was written with the mentality of creating the absolute stupidest movie ever created. It takes intelligence to be this amazingly dumb and, by virtue of new levels of moronic entertainment, original.

There are numerous jokes about drugs (which occasionally wore on me), lots of jokes about the female anatomy, and the two idiots to end all idiots. On my first watching the initial twenty minutes were painful, but it was all so ridiculous and stupid that I couldn't help but laugh. This isn't "Annie Hall" or Monty Python, and it knows it. And that's why it's so freaking funny. 7/10
