Owen Wilson is a talented man. Usually involved in comedies, or action films with comedy elements, he has also received good notices for a dramatic role or two. He did a great job voicing Lightning McQueen in "Cars." I may be in the minority, but I do not like his brand of comedy. My favorite Owen Wilson film: "Shanghai Noon."

"You, Me & Dupree" is an Owen Wilson vehicle. The whole film revolves around his character. Dupree serves as best man for Matt Dillon. Soon after the honeymoon he moves in with the couple. This slowly causes issues for wife Kate Hudson. Except for three or four scenes the script gives Hudson nothing to do but look pretty. We all know that Michael Douglas can play charming, or slime. As Hudson's possessive father he gets to play charming slime.

With Dupree disrupting his home life while Douglas unrelentingly yanks his chain at work, Dillon's character slowly goes nuts. Then Dupree must save him.

Fortunately I went to see "You, Me & Dupree" with a fair sized group. Since I didn't care much for the film I took a poll. My wife liked it quite a bit. Our daughter and her husband enjoyed it. His parents did too. Another couple, ages between us and the kids, also liked it. I am definitely out voted! Your chances of enjoying "You, Me & Dupree" really depend on how much you like Owen Wilson.
