Rental Review: You, Me and Dupree

By Ryn Gargulinski
Sappy and sweet, silly and satirical, this flick is a great pick for those mindless Saturday nights when you’re don’t want to use your brain.

You're not expected to think at all during this one, unless it’s to wonder what you would do if newly married and stuck with a permanent houseguest who stinks up your bathroom then destroys most of your home.

This does not mean, mind you, that the movie isn’t fully entertaining.

It also helps the cast includes Kate Hudson, always a joy to watch and wonder why her real-life marriage fell apart. It helps even further the wife is depicted as a caring, honest and patient lass while the husband is depicted as an Asian porn addicted cad.

Highlight: Falling in like with Dupree, although vowing never letting him to spend any amount of time in your house.
Lowlight: Dupree’s clutziness, which gets downright annoying.
Rating (1-10): 8.33

Dear Ryn, My kids made me order this movie on Pay-Per-View and it SUCKED. It was disgusting AND boring, which is quite a feat. Can you review Skeleton Key? Kate Hudson was in that and it was excellent. Would love to know what you think. Hope all is well with you. Are you coming back to New York any time soon? Love, MJ
