Poor, crude and juvenile

Warning: Spoilers
Recap: Bo and Luke Duke are cousins that have an uncanny ability for getting in trouble. To get them straightened out their parents send them to Uncle Jesse and his farm. But Uncle Jesse is pretty good at finding trouble himself, being in the moonshining business like he is. But now the town's major Boss Hogg want to maneuver him out, so the whole family must work together to save the farm. But what about young cousin Daisy, the good girl in the family…

Comments: A really juvenile and poor attempt to make a prequel of the "Young… " kind. Supposed to follow in the wake of Dukes of Hazzard (2005) but compared to that the previous looks like a masterpiece of class and intelligence. And that is saying some. The jokes in this prequel is crude, and mostly not funny at all. It is very juvenile and tries to cover up the lack of good jokes or serious story with a bunch of bare breasts and semi-nudity.

If you have seen the modern remake you might have found it rather silly. Then you might find it hard to believe that this much, and I mean much, sillier than that. It is really stupid actually. Almost all characters, apart from Uncle Jesse, that is played by Willie Nelson, and Daisy, have regressed back to being immature teenagers. Everything for being as silly as possible and desperate for (accidently) falling over a cheap joke. The result is of course that it is tiresome and boring instead.

Can't really imagine why Willie Nelson agreed to do this, I thought he had more class than this. The only other actress to leave this movie with her respect mostly intact is (beautiful) April Scott. The character Daisy seem to have some intelligence and depth, even if she too suffers from the juvenile-disease.

I liked the Dukes of Hazzard (2005). Sure, it was a little immature and silly, but in all managed to balance it pretty good. In this sequel they have lost it all and tipped over completely.
