Brendan Fraser (George of the Jungle, The Mummy) brings his considerable charm to this awkward live-action version of the classic cartoon Dudley Do-Right. The first half of the movie lays out the basic elements of the cartoon (none-too-bright Canadian Mountie battles melodrama villain Snidely Whiplash with pluck and dumb luck) with little wit or imagination, but lots of pratfalls and broad gags. But about halfway into it, when Whiplash has taken over the town of Semi-Happy Falls and become its leading citizen, the movie takes a curious turn: Since Whiplash has become, to all appearances, a good guy, Dudley decides the only way to fight him is to turn into a bad guy. Next thing you know, Dudley is decked out in black leather and cruising around on a motorbike while Whiplash fumes impotently. Bullwinkle fans may decry this departure, but it gives the movie a much-needed burst of energy and the opportunity for some entertainingly surreal images--like Whiplash up to his neck in a mudbath with cucumber slices on his eyes, consulting with his henchmen about dealing with that unpredictable Do-Right. With Alfred Molina, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Monty Python's Eric Idle. --Bret Fetzer

 Dudley Do-Right - The Movie April 25, 2008
Allister D. Macdonald (Nova Scotia, Canada)
Hilarious. Start to finish, it's just good, clean fun. Somewhere along the lines of Finding Nemo and Shrek humour. You can judge this DVD by its cover. (Note: The horse is backwards - Silly horse...)

Bleumousse (Rock Springs, WY)
This is great, especially for those of us that grew up with Boris and Natasha, Branden Fraser is a character, Great Movie, worth owing.
Dudley Did All Right September 6, 2007
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
This actually wasn't as bad as you might think. It's harmless fluff, silly in many parts but also a movie filled with likable characters and good adult jokes that go over the kids' heads. It's clean stuff: references to other movies and things. It's one of these films you find yourself laughing more than the kids but the next day you really can't remember much that you saw. In other words, you will be entertained but it's not a memorable movie.
The horse might be in the running as the most memorable character in the film. Even the villain isn't despicable. He's more cartoon-like than evil. Alfred Molina does a nice job as "Snidely Whiplash." Eric Idle and Sarah Jessica Parker are also good in here.
Brendan Fraser, playing the title role, was on a role their for a couple of years, playing these silly, comedic roles and being successful in doing so (i.e. George Of The Jungle, Bedazzled, etc.)
Don't dismiss this as totally stupid. It will surprise you. All of us can use a good laugh and this movie provides plenty.

It is a great one for a change of pace. A silly funny movie.

This level of badness was best described by my friend as we watched Superman III back in high school. He said "this movie sucks, lets go play video games." He then threw his bucket of popcorn all over me, stood up and walked out of the theater. I, of course, followed him wondering why I hadn't thought of it first...although I wouldn't have thrown the popcorn...it was way too expensive to decorate my friend with.
