You, Me, and Dupree

You, Me, and Dupree- D+
Although I find Owen Wilson slightly irritating, I can understand his appeal. He has a talent for delivering good one-liners and being honest about making a fool of himself onscreen. It's annoying, but there's something slightly charming about it. The movie does have some good one-liners, and if you love seeing Owen Wilson make a fool out of himself onscreen, you'll be satisfied. The problem now lies in the fact that everything else in the movie is disposable. The remaining actors might be decent at some things, but comic acting is not one of them. The script has no shape at all, and the writing is inconsistent and sloppy. The main source of conflict in the movie lies between Matt Dillon and the other three characters, his wife, his father-in-law, and his best friend. He's frustrated with all three, but refuses to tell them why. The problem is, we as audience members don't know why either and we get frustrated seeing him in agony, when sitting down and just telling them would be sufficient. What's even more frustrating is that the movie ends without any real resolve where anyone admits they were wrong for tormenting this poor guy. Whatever.
