CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert	3
Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt	2	...lame and thin...
E!	4	...it's about as funny as a typical episode of Hee Haw, meaning not very funny at all.
filmcritic.com David Levine	4	...not a total loss.
New York Post Kyle Smith	7	A lot of its jokes sputter and it doesn't contain even a hint of a chick movie, but The Dukes of Hazzard has some of the same fratty energy as Wedding Crashers.
TV Guide	4	...so outrageously, unregenerately stupid that you might be tempted to think it's smart. It's not.
Reel Tim Knight	2	...patently awful...
Slant Magazine Ed Gonzalez	5	...completely disposable...
Rolling Stone Peter Travers	0	...a turd.
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman	8	It's trash, all right, but perfectly skewed trash -- a comedy that knows just how smart to be about just how dumb it is.
New York Times A. O. Scott	3	...thoroughly pointless...
Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan	1	The Dukes of Hazzard is a film that is not there. It can't really be reviewed because it doesn't really exist. It is not empty calories, which implies pleasure, but simply empty.
People Leah Rozen	2	...woefully uninspired...
LA Weekly Paul Malcolm	3	As a salvo in the culture wars, Dukes of Hazzard is a dud, and as an actual movie it doesn't rate much higher.
Village Voice Peter L'Official	2	...insults not "family values," as the original Cooter claims, just general intelligence.
Onion AV Club Keith Phipps	4	It's got a few laughs and some impressive car chases, but mostly, it's just a puzzling jumble of gags and exhaust fumes.
Maxim Pete Hammond	7	...a Southern-fried good time...
Christian Science Monitor M.K. Terrell	3	Updated with cussin', pot smokin', and more sex than fans will remember from the TV series.
