"Forget those awful previews. 'You, Me and Dupree' is a rather sweet little movie focusing on friendship, love, life goals, and being true to oneself."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

D-
"You, Me and Dupree is exactly the kind of brainless, witless junk that Hollywood knows it can peel off the scrap heap at any time and make a quick trip to the bank on."  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

1/10
"Unless you don't have air conditioning, live above a Chinese restaurant, and are suffering from a 107-degree fever, I can't think of a single reason to sit through this mess."  Freeze Dried Movies  Brian Juergens

D-
"In terms of actual laughs, this is somewhere between a scorching STD and a sleepy corporate-gig Dennis Miller show."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

C
"You, Me and Dupree is a situation comedy that subsists purely on vibe, namely Owen Wilson's ever-boyish vibe of an innocence that has overstayed its welcome long into adulthood."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"This impossible place%u2014most desired object and least elucidated subject%u2014makes Molly typical of the women in white guy romcoms."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"The film's three leads deliver competent yet thoroughly uninspired performances, with Wilson offering up the latest variation on his laid-back, cool-guy persona..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"The slow decline of Owen Wilson's career continues with this pedestrian sitcom-on-celluloid."  Portland Tribune  Dawn Taylor

1.5/4
"A limp, uninspired dramedy that can never figure out what it wants to be about."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C+
"Funny that Owen Wilson should star in a film about a guy who wears out his welcome...."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1/4
"Imagine a sequel to What About Bob Starring Joel Murray that runs an elongated 109 minutes and its too long by about 109 minutes."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

B-
"Tells a story I recognized with characters I liked, and that earns higher marks than simply parading Owen Wilson around for 108 minutes."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

D+
"One trio you should avoid making a quartet by taking a seat in the audience."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"A feel-good comedy about a slacker buddy who turns out to go way beyond his obligations as a best man. "  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2/4
"Were it not for the A-list cast, You, Me and Dupree is an effort one might expect to move directly to video store shelves, bypassing multiplexes altogether."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/5
"Unfortunately, directors Anthony and Joe Russo sometimes push the jokes too hard, relying on tired physical comedy and easy visual jokes."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

2/4
"Vacillates wildly between the scattered pearls of comic classics and bone-tired comic convention."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

5/10
"Feels like an afterthought, a trial-and-error effort in the search for the ideal Owen Wilson solo vehicle."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

5/10
"...a 'video movie' if I ever saw one!"  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

"Anyone with a couch, a spare room or a basement knows a Dupree."  Light Views  John Larsen

3/10
"I used to like Owen Wilson, back before he took Will Ferrell's popular Hollywood class titled, 'Take every single script that's offered to you (every single one [I'm serious]).'"  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

2/5
"The story has a strong 'been there, done that' feel to it."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

2/4
"Owen Wilson manages to make it sporadically pleasant, but not nearly enough to make up for the mediocrity of this overblown sitcom."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

B-
"I can't imagine many beside Wilson pulling off a line about an Audrey Hepburn sex fantasy involving butter and having it come off as adoring and respectful. "  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2.5/4
"Owen Wilson single-handedly hauls this amiable, middle-of-the-road comedy out of sheer mediocrity."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

C-
"Unfortunately for You, Me and Dupree, it's easier to invest patience in people stumbling to find focus and purpose than films searching for the same things."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

"Oh, sweet, sly celebration of slackerdom... I'm so glad we met."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"Remarkably forced--ironic, considering it's a starring vehicle for an actor whose most defining quality is his laid-back, unaffected demeanor."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

2/4
"Like the main character, the movie is okay at first but eventually wears out its welcome."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

C
"Remember the classic comedy The Odd Couple? This is sort of the same movie, only it's the odd triple and it isn't funny."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/4
"The most clever aspect of You, Me and Dupree is its rhyming title...after that, it's one long, steep decline into suffering."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1.5/5
"Hectoring his wife for liking pretty boys sounds hollow coming from the guy who launched a thousand Tiger Beats in the late '70s and early '80s."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

2/5
"The filmmakers can't get the balance right between comedy and cruelty."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

C-
"A video-store leftover, suitable only for viewers who have nothing better to do."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

6/10
"In summer multiplex fare, Owen Wilson does better than Cable Guy, but not much."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

1/5
"Between you and me, Dupree is a dud."  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

"You, Me and Dupree seems to have been made by people who don't know the difference between a light comedy and an inconsequential one."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

7/10
"It's fast-paced amusing fluff if you wanna, "Stay loose, stay liquid and laugh a lot.""  Modamag.com  Susan Granger
