Synopsis:

Fun-lovin', fast-drivin' cousins Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) Duke are back on the road and up to no good, along with their cousin Daisy Duke (Jessica Simpson), proud owner of the shortest shorts in the Southern United States. Hazzard County boasts some of the most axel-busting back roads, hair-raising moonshine, and best-looking farm girls in all of Georgia - and the Duke boys enjoy all three. Frequently.

The Duke family's business is moonshine, and the boys' Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson) concocts the tastiest brew in Dixie. More often than not, the boys find themselves on the wrong side of the law as they race to make their deliveries, leading the sheriff's department on some truly wild goose chases in their infamous orange Dodge Charger, the General Lee.

But it's not all moonshine and farm girls these days - when Bo and Luke discover evidence that their neighbours' properties are being unlawfully seized by crooked commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds), their only chance to protect their hometown is to put the pedal to the metal in a last-ditch scheme to save Hazzard County.

What the critics are saying:

"...it's entertaining in a wholly disreputable way, and you can't say it doesn't have a sense of humor about itself."
- Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

"...seems to take pride in being as loud, obnoxious and moronic as humanly possible."
- Neil Smith, BBC Movies

"It's as dumb as a bag of hammers and as cheesy as, well, macaroni and cheese. But it's a movie that knows how inconsequential it is at the outset and doesn't care much whether you can party with it or not."
- Gene Seymour, Newsday
