I liked this movie. Matt Dillon is a great actor, and recently I haven't seen him a whole lot, (actually his brother has been making a name for himself with the show Entourage) but I wanted to check this out when I saw that he was starring. His comedy style is usually quite blunt, depending on the character that he is playing will really give him some leeway with what he does and how he acts. In this movie he is playing opposite of Owen Wilson who is also known for having a varied comedy style. Kate Hudson & Matt Dillon play a rather convincing newlywed couple in this film. They have everything you could ask for in a new marriage and then comes Dupree. I won't say too much except for it's definitely fun watching him turn their house upside down. Kate Hudson seems to go from hating his guts & wanting to kick him out to really admiring him after he suffers quite the heartbreaking. You go from absolutely thinking that Dupree is a loser to actually wanting to get to know him and the film begins to focus it's hate a little more on Dillon towards the end after he begins acting totally ridiculous towards his wife & best friend.
I really thought this movie was good, the story was a little weak but the characters compensated accordingly.
