DUKES OF HAZZARD
SYNOPSIS
Action Comedy based on the hit television series
that ran from 1979-85. Set in present day, The Dukes
of Hazzard follows the adventures of "good old boy"
cousins Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny
Knoxville) Duke, who with the help of their
eye-catching cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and
moonshine-running Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), try
and save the family farm from being destroyed by
Hazzard County's corrupt commissioner Boss Hogg
(Burt Reynolds). Their efforts constantly find the
"Duke Boys" eluding authorities in "The General
Lee," their famed 1969 orange Dodge Charger that
keeps them one step ahead of the dimwitted antics
of the small southern town's Sheriff Roscoe P.
Coltrane (M.C. Gainey). --©Warner Brothers

I knew I was in for a long night when the narrator starting talking, like fingernails on the
chalkboard. Seeing Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke in short shorts might be worth the price of
admission for the male population even though she didn't have much screen time. Burt Reynolds
playing Boss Hogg looks as though he has been spending too much time at Dr. 90210. Good for a
few laughs but wait for Dukes to come out on DVD unless you're a big fan of The Dukes of Hazzard.
