Just that it wasn't _that_ bad. Let's investigate.
The opening line
This is one of the comedies I like. Mainly the most basic reason being that it is so idiotic that it works. I can bet that the creators of this movie had a brilliant time just throwing around suggestions about a movie, never seriously thinking that this kind of movie would be made. And after a long evening somebody blurted: "Let's do it!" and then miraculously everybody was hailing for it. The studios would of course finance it because it would have all that a movie is required to have to get funding these days: hot chicks (don't mind the plot) and a big plus: recognisable actors.
Thematics
I like the fact that Dude, where's my car? resembles -in some far fetched way- a teen movie. This movie doesn't try to be anything, it just is. We have two nitwits and a bunch of very stereotypical characters, swedes, weed, hot chicks, weird costumes, scary ostriches, aliens, bubble wrap.. With those ingredients... And finally, the dialogue. Brilliantly bloody moronic -so simple & stupid it works. "Shibby", "Dude", "Sweet" -moronic but smooth!
The punch line
And instead of just snatching the original version of "What does your tattoo say?" I found an excellent Supernatural clip! Proves my point at some level. (Click the pic or the link below to see the clip on YouTube)

It was bad. And so was the Supernatural clip. Sorry. But I still love it when they wear the "spacesuits" made out of bubble wrap, hehe!
ReplyDeleteDid you hear that Love Guru got like a dozen Razzie nominations? :D

ReplyDeleteBut yea, I did notice. Well, maybe Myer's next movie does better.
