We've all been there. Had a house guest outstay their welcome, but Owen Wilson's Dupree would test even Elton John's extravagant hospitality.

Dupree is Best Man at Carl (Matt Dillon) and Molly Peterson's (Kate Hudson) wedding. However, he neglected to get the time off work so soon turns up at the happy couple's doorstep unemployed and destitute. They reluctantly allow their archetypal slacker friend to stay under the proviso he gets back on his feet ASAP.

Unfortunately Dupree's idea of working is playing baseball with the local kids in Carl's street and inadvertently setting fire to the house while romping with Molly's Mormon work colleague. Meanwhile Carl is is getting it in the neck from Molly's overprotective father-in-law and boss Michael Douglas, who wants him to hyphenate his name and have a vasectomy. As Carl's patience is tested to the limit he risks losing everything - his job, his friend and his new wife.

With it's mediocre script and farcical plot this is by no means a groundbreaking comedy , but 'Dupree is well worth a few laughs thanks to a stellar cast. It's undoubtedly Owen Wilson's show, an actor who like Bill Murray before him, can seemingly only play one character, but hell that amiable, childlike character (as seen in The Life Aquatic and Meet The Parents) is awfully funny.
