Fluffy Musings Of A Southern Transplant Posing As A Lipstick Librarian...

Dukes of Whaaaa?
I just went to see the remake of this old TV show, not expecting a whole lot - but hey, it was free. (Thanks Andy!) Know, first of all, that I feel much depends on the person's state of mind going into the movie. This plays a big part of what makes or breaks a flick to an active participant in the movie-going experience. (Remember, Beck, when we wanted to go see Nell and ended up suffering through Dumb and Dumber?!?) The truth is, when you already have little-to-no expectations for a movie, sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised! In spite of all the "Southern" stereotypes and Simpson skin-flashing, this movie was quite entertaining. Of course, Simpson sucked (she is so NOT Daisy) and so did Burt Reynolds, for that matter, but the rest of the cast was hilarious. Bo was such a cutie-pie! Naturally, the movie is total fluff, but if you are in the mood for a bit of southern-fried fancy, this is the movie for you. It was the Appalachian goodness I needed in this land poverty stricken of "Southern Hospitality." (And did anyone else notice the current Republican President slander in the beginning? All in good fun, ehh?)

Hey Suzy,
Only in Tennessee:
Only in the south can you go to the Dukes of Hazzard movie two weekends in a row and it is Sold Out. I have yet to see it.
P.S. Ben forgot to wear shoes when we tried to see it the first time.
