Back in 2008, Now Playing Podcast recorded three full reviews intended to fill the show’s off-weeks. For one reason or another, they were never released and quietly sat in the archives until now. Created for our 5th Anniversary DVD-ROM, these long-lost episodes finally saw the light of day. You can listen to them now.
You, Me and Dupree throws Owen Wilson (Shanghai Noon) into the middle of a newlywed nightmare, playing a laid-back best friend who overstays his welcome in the home of Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) and Matt Dillon (There’s Something About Mary). What starts as a friendly couch-crashing situation slowly turns into a test of patience, adulthood, and how much immaturity a marriage can survive. Marketed as a breezy buddy-rom-com hybrid, the film aims for easy laughs and relationship chaos. But does You, Me and Dupree find real comedy in its setup, or does the premise wear thin fast? Marjorie and Arnie look at the performances, the humor, and whether this comedy earns its place alongside better entries in the genre. Listen in to find out if Dupree is a lovable slacker or someone you’d kick out without hesitation.
