ramsfan Reunion shows are usually a mixed bag. On the one hand, it is always tempting to see your favorite shows as a kid and recapture past viewing pleasure. On the flip side, many of these re-makes are not well done, and they negate the good memories these shows hold. The Dukes Of Hazzard Reunion does a credible job for the most part of honoring the original series, providing a plausible storyline and not straying too far from the original concept.The show opens by getting us reacquainted with the principal characters as one by one they converge on Uncle Jesse's farm. Bo is now a professional race car driver. Luke works for the Forestry Service. Cooter is a congressman, while Daisy is a grad student at (appropriately) Duke University. While Enos works for the LAPD- a nod to his departure from the original series- Roscoe has inherited the deceased Boss Hogg's fortune and is double dipping as both Sheriff AND County Commissioner. The Duke clan must stop crooked land developer Mama Max (Stella Stevens) from building a theme park in Hazzard Swamp- the land on which the Duke Farm sits. Along the way, we're treated to the usual hi-jinks which characterized the series; car chases, bumbling cops, not-too-bright criminals and fun and adventure with our two principal stars and the most famous Dodge Charger in history. It is a theme that works well because of its familiarity."The Dukes" is not without some sadness and regret. The late Sorrell Booke, a wonderful character actor who masterfully portrayed Boss Hogg, is not on hand (There is a wonderful, touching scene in which a tearful Rosco speaks to a painting of Boss in his office). Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse) was ill with cancer when this movie was made yet gamely soldiered on. Gone is Waylon Jennings, the deep voiced country music legend and Dukes Balladeer. And those expecting to see sexpot Catherine Bach- the object of every male fantasy in the 80's- will surely be a bit disappointed, as age has made her a mere mortal.Despite these factors, the original Dukes Of Hazzard holds fond personal memories of childhood, and this movie brought many of them back while successfully paying tribute to the series.

skeeterchicakb83 I am a huge fan of the TV show, and as this movie was so similar, I enjoyed almost every minute of it. It was great to see Luke and Bo back and looking great - still the same old boys! Daisy was wonderful -a strong woman and still a lovely one. Enos came back! YAY! He and Daisy finally hooked up! YAY! Roscoe was himself too! Uncle Jesse was great as the head of the family - he will be missed. As is Boss - the pseudo-villainy of the man was missing from this, but Roscoe followed in his footsteps well.Warning: HERE BE SPOILERS!!! What I didn't like was that Daisy seemed to be flaky at the end. I never got that out of the TV show, and I really didn't think that she would break Enos' heart like that; just saying that she can't go through with the wedding because she saw her ex. She ought to know Enos is not like her ex. He was wonderful as the still loyal man.And my only question is - when are Bo and Luke going to get hitched? Some lucky girl out there is waiting to be a Mrs. Duke.

moviedude1 Tom Wopat and John Schneider revive their 80's characters as, once again, the "Good Ol' Boys" rise up against corruption in the South, this time in the form of a businesswoman (Stevens), with the help of some friends from the old series.You know, I grew up in the Dukes' era, and I was mildly surprised at how good of a job director Lewis Teague did with this film. I know that the original series has some corny plots by what we see nowadays, but, for those of us who grew up in that time, there wasn't one of us alive who enjoyed the original series without picturing themselves behind the wheel of the General Lee. (I had to mention the car - after all, it was the car(s) that made the jump, not those boys.) A little older, perhaps, but the actors walked in and picked up on their original characters like they've been doing them for the last twenty years.

GenrlLee The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! was a movie long in waiting. It was nice to see the Duke boys and the General Lee back in action. If you like the show, you would definitely like the movie. The old "save the farm" technique was used, but that is what all fans of the show are accustomed to. Even though Sorrell Booke, aka Boss Hogg, has passed, they did a lovely job of incorporating his memory into the movie. My only problem was with the slight prop imperfections, but what do you expect. Hopefully another movie is in the works, even though Denver Pyle, Uncle Jesse, is also no longer with us. I'm gone.
