If you go into this movie expecting to see an hour and a half to two hours of the show prepare to be disappointed. However, if you go into this movie expecting to see a more modern take on the Dukes, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Whereas the show was sicky sweet (at the end at least), this is raunchy and in some ways more real. In the show, Bo and Luke would race to the rescue of anybody who needed help fighting the powers that be, in the movie they were reluctant hero's who wanted to save their farm and family and ended up saving the town.
Other reviewers have cried and moaned and practically begged readers not to see this. My advise is to see it and make your own judgement and not allow anyone else sway you based on their personal perceptions of what the movie should and should not be. If you like it, great, if not, at least you know.
Matt PS - For the record, lots of real Dukes fans like the movie when they don't divorce the movie from the show. They are two different works of art and to judge one on the merits of the other does a disservice to both.
