You, Me, and Dupree (2006, Russo/Russo)

Kate Hudson is pretty, that's undeniable. Yet, being pretty can only get you so far, and while You, Me, and Dupree is a 'pretty' picture with sun-kissed photography, flashy cars and gleaming boats, tailored suits, and some arguably handsome male actors, it's a vacuous waste dump of copied ideas and high-concept trash. It lacks any originality and is as predictable as every other Hollywood romance-comedy from the last few years. Maybe if Ben Stiller had taken the Matt Dillon role, they'd be life to this film, but aside from some - admittedly - hysterical moments from Owen Wilson (who's the only good thing about the movie), this is one hell of a poor effort.
