I have to agree with those who don't understand why this movie has such a poor IMDb rating. I just watched it and thought it was really funny... very stupid, but funny. The thing that can sink this type of stoned, suburban, Jeff Spicoli style movie, is if it starts going into places where it doesn't belong. Like getting too serious, or introducing a different type of humor. "Dude, Where's My Car" sticks to its aesthetics -- stupid as they are -- throughout, and never sells itself out. Therefore I think it works, and is in fact a well-made teenage comedy. I think this will only appeal to a very specific audience, but you can say the same thing about a Kieslowski movie.
So... if Jeff Spicoli, Bluto & Stifler are your heroes, you're going to enjoy this movie a lot. I sure did, and cracked up several times.
PS nice to see David Herman in a small part. He's a brilliant comedian, best seen as "Michael Bolton" in Office Space. People need to
