Summary: A failed effort to bring cartoons to life
Review: I gave this movie a look mostly out of nostalgic memories of Saturday mornings including the likes of Bugs Bunny, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and, yes, Dudley Do-Right and crew. I have to admit that I didn't have high expectations going into the viewing, but even my low expectations were not met. Fraser, who I thought did a passable job as "George of the Jungle," didn't come across as a very good Dudley for me. It's like he never hit his character's stride during the entire movie. I wonder if Fraser watched Dudley Do-Right cartoons as a kid. They were highly melodramatic, but this movie didn't even reach the low plateau of a formula melodrama. Dudley's character was not appropriately naive and likeable, he came across instead as simple, even idiotic. I was also disappointed in that the setting for the movie was much more modern than Dudley's cartoons were. In addition, the villain was not especially villianous, he was, rather just greedy and slimy. The movie was also only barely watchable for the elementary school crowd at our house. 2 stars, not quite making it to 3 stars... ...there were also too few scenes involving Dudley's horse, and Nell. Good luck out there. Alan Holyoak

Summary: A dog
Review: I picked this movie up fresh after watching George of the Jungle, expecting to find another unpolished gem. Boy was I wrong. This movie is unpolished alright, but there is no gem hiding underneath. After this and Monkeybone, I lost a lot of respect for Brendan Fraser as an actor. He's made a lot of quality films, but at the same time he makes some real dogs which makes me wonder if he even bothers to read a script before the signs on to do a project. This was a movie that has the potential to be great, but instead winds up being horrible. If you are looking for a good movie that is fun for the whole family, skip this one and pick up George of the Jungle. Better yet, pick up a book to read together with the family. There are some absolutely fantastic books out there that will appeal to every member of the family no matter how young or old. Everyone knows about the Harry Potter books, and more and more people are beginning to discover King Fortis the Brave, another "young adult" book that fantasy and adventure fans of all ages are finding they just can't put down. Whatever you do, stay away from this movie.

Summary: Hysterical
Review: I've been a long-time fan of movies with no point other than to entertain. This one goes near the top of my list of good slapstick films. Brendan Fraser is totally convincing as the Goody-two-shoes Dudley, and Alfred Molina is a scream as Snidley Whiplash. Eric Idle as the Teacher is goofy as usual. The Kumquat (sp?) Indians are also a riot. (Riverdance?) The only problem I really have is Sarah Jessica Parker. To me, she didn't seem to really pass of as a believable Nell Fenwick, Dudley's Love Interest. Don't expect great art, just a fun way to kill 90 minutes.

Summary: cute but not a strong story
Review: It has natural humor. The only problem is there is not a strong plot. I still think it is very cute and way worth while! Keep in mind that Brendan Fraser is a hottie!

Summary: Jay Ward would be proud
Review: It's not quite the story of the Dudley cartoons, but they never had 90 minutes to deal with. I think Jay Ward would be proud of what was done with it. And the Fractured Fairy Tail is almost worth the cost all on its own.

Summary: Twisted "Due South"
Review: Oh Canada! The Canadian finest in red has a new hero when old pastime bully takes over the town Semi-Happy Valley and sets up a fraud gold rush where every American plows through the border on this fools gold while the Canadian town residents left ("Canadians think it over before they do something. Americans just jump right in") while Whiplash rules the town at least for a few days. It's a comedy slapstick and it's great fun to watch, especially if you're the lucky one with a Canadian flag on the wall!

Summary: I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I liked this movie
Review: Sure, "Dudley Do Right" was not great cinema, but it was great fun to watch. Brendan Fraser is a natural talent for "ham" roles, probably the best since Leslie Nielsen. The Eric Idle character was a hoot, and Alfred Molina is great as Snidley. Yeah, all the humor is PG fare, but I guess it's good to have a change once in a while. This crazy little movie couldn't help but put a smile on my face.

Summary: Wasted effort
Review: The great, creative tongue-in-cheek humor of the original show is replaced with empty physical gags and fart jokes. If that sounds hilarious, you just might like this movie.
