"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."

"
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."

"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."

Dustin Putman

"Funny that Owen Wilson should star in a film about a guy who wears out his welcome...."

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."
