\"BookThis is the second Owen Wilson film in a row that we’ve seen–the first being Starsky & Hutch<\/a><\/em>, and it’s a little later in the, what, downfall of the Stiller\/Wilson films? For a while, they could do no wrong, but these later movies didn’t make much money.<\/p>\n

In it, Matt Dillon marries Kate Hudson, and when his best friend–Owen Wilson’s Dupree–has a run of bad luck, they allow him to stay with them for a while that extends. And hijinks ensue, as the man-child can’t find a job, and we have a little tension between Dillon’s character having to grow up and to work for his wife’s father (Michael Douglas) who didn’t want to give his little girl up. <\/p>\n

So it’s a fairly common set of tropes, trying to rely heavily on Owen Wilson, but that’s not enough to carry a movie, as studios discovered. I own the DVD, but I don’t know if I’ll watch it again–there are better movies with Wilson as part of an ensemble.<\/p>\n

You know, in the future, people might confuse her with Gwyneth Paltrow (the blonde actress that married that funny looking rock singer), but I find her more akin to Heather Graham–and I’m definitely on Team Graham, as she is from Milwaukee.<\/p>\n
