Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Car-less and amnesiac the day after a pardee, stoners Jesse (Kutcher) and Chester (Scott) set about retracing their steps in order to find some gifts they hope will tempt their girlfriends into bed. The gifts are in the car: cue endless repetitions of the title. So where is it? 'Dude' and 'Sweet' are soon mixed up with, in no particular order, 'dressing up box' aliens, spiteful ostriches, a murderous transvestite and a posse of 'black-clad sluts and bitches' who keep promising them oral sex in exchange for something called a continuum transfunctioner, capable of blowing up the universe. Whaddever. Fine, the ambitions are low brow and the characters so artificially dumb they bear no relation to human beings - and we're not talking about the aliens here. The real problem with the shoddy looking, rabidly heterosexual and relentlessly sexist movie is that it hasn't a scrap of goodwill towards anyone.Author: SS

- Posted on Mar 09 2008 23:58 Old fashioned? No. Up to date? No. This film is so bad it doesn't belong in any era. I can't believe that nonsense became known as a film. Universally insulting to everyone including the intellectually challenged. The film should be called “Dude Where’s My Brain?” I’m sorry, I really tried to like this film but my efforts went un-rewarded . Sexist, racist and obscene? Maybe. A piece of trash that you couldn’t even call a film? Definitely. Acting ability 0 points. Comedy 1 point I laughed at it for a while. Entertainment, 1 believe it or not I’ve seen worse. General viewing experience a mind numbing zero. Why can’t there be a no star rating?

- Posted on Sep 01 2007 02:37 This so-called 'film' is the perfect example of what real obscenity is. It is appalling to see that at the beginning of the 21st century, films such as 'Ken Park' are labelled obscene and banned even in some Western democratic countries, whereas all the crappy sexism, machismo, racism, homophobia, intolerance, in other words fascism displayed in this scum is considered perfectly acceptable because it is supposed to be a funny comedy. What is truly laughable here is the unspeakable old-fashioned brainlessness of this filthy display of bad script, bad plot, and total lack of acting talent.
