Genre: Romance, Comedy
Tagline: Two's company. Dupree's a crowd.
Plot: Carl and Molly have found the one unfortunate hitch in their perfectly constructed newly wedded world: Dupree. A slacker with the soul of a poet, Dupree just can’t seem to catch a break from “The Man.” When he takes a week off to be best-man at Carl and Molly’s marriage in Hawaii, Dupree gets the unceremonious heave-ho from his boss. Now jobless, car-less and evicted from the cot at his favorite watering hole, he just needs to crash with the Petersons for a couple of days; okay, maybe a month or so…At first, Carl is psyched to have the couch guest while Molly bears the brunt of Dupree’s well-meaning antics. But, as Carl becomes buried in his grown-up job of land development and headaches, he finds it hard to juggle Dupree and his newlywed responsibilities. As time passes, his and Molly’s houseguest uses his ample spare time to become a great companion to her, underscoring Carl’s new workaholic tendencies. Even Molly’s dad begins to fall for Dupree’s carefree wisdom, frustrating Carl to no end. Soon, everyone (but Carl) begins to root for Dupree to stick around. But just as the impish buddy starts becoming a fixture in the Petersons’ home, three becomes not just a crowd…but a full-blown comic catastrophe. As the couple realizes their ideas of a white-picket fence marriage are

"You, Me and Dupree" is an inconsistent trifle – by turns cute and annoying – and not much more. 6/10--Joshua Starnes (ComingSoon.net)
YOU ME AND DUPREE stretches its 15 or so good minutes into 108 minutes of lackluster screen time. Whatever Wilson goodness there was in there gets lost in the detritus.  --Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
It just seems like You, Me and Dupree has too many moments where we are waiting for the big punchline or wanting for the big laugh and too often, neither happens. The movie isn't a total write-off but if you were like me and expecting the 2006 version ofThe Wedding Crashers or The 40-Year Old Virgin, I suggest you keep looking because this movie is neither. 5/10--Brendan Cullin (EmpireMovies.com)
Given the intellectual level of this film, it is not surprising that the ending of the film rewards bad behavior. If you’re smart, it’s an ending you will never see. 3/10--Tony Medley (TonyMedley.com)
...The movie doesn't know how to maximize his comedy, putting him through a development that has him starting out as the most thoughtlessly horrific of houseguests and finishing up as an example of loyalty and liberating free-spiritedness, but doing little to make it any more convincing than just reading a description of it. The movie feels like an afterthought, a trial-and-error effort in the search for the ideal Owen Wilson solo vehicle. 5/10--Jeffrey Chen (WindowToMovies.com)

The script is really where the movie lacking as it wanders all over the place looking for a genre or a style or cohesiveness. If Dupree were a recurring Saturday Night Live character, he could be a funny one. Packaged in bite sized skits, he would be amusing, but there just isn't enough of him to satisfy a full length movie.  --Scott Nash (TheMovieBuffs.com)
