Dukes of Hazzard, The

At what point does a piece of pop culture become worthless? After the initial television series, followed by TV movies, video games, a Jessica Simpson music video and now this timid feature, The Dukes of Hazzard has run its course. Trying to have fun watching this incarnation is like trying to resuscitate a corpse that has been rotting for 26 years. The casting is either humiliating (Simpson as Daisy Duke, Burt Reynolds as Boss Hogg) or negligible (Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville as the good-old-boy cousins). It offers about the same nostalgia value as using the Dukes theme song as your
ring tone.
