Carl
Peterson
(Matt
Dillon)
and
Randy
Dupree
(Owen
Wilson)
have
been
friends
forever.
But
everything
changes
when
Carl
marries
Molly
Thompson
(Kate
Hudson)
and
best
man
Dupree
becomes
the
third
wheel.
Free-spirited
Dupree's
antics
suddenly
seem
juvenile
and
Carl
has
to
decide
where
his
loyalty
lies--with
his
new
wife
or
his
best
friend.
Still,
when
Carl
discovers
that
Dupree
is
down
on
his
luck--he's
lost
his
job,
his
company
car,
and
his
apartment--he
invites
his
best
buddy
to
move
in
until
he's
back
on
his
feet.
Unfortunately,
Dupree
isn't
exactly
Molly's
idea
of
the
perfect
houseguest.
This
perpetual
bachelor
is
really
an
overgrown
kid
who
moves
in
with
a
giant
moosehead,
likes
to
sleep
in
the
buff,
has
some
unpleasant
hygiene
issues,
and
treats
life
like
one
big
party.
Despite
Dupree's
inability
to
grow
up,
he
has
a
good
heart:
he's
just
trying
to
find
his
niche
and
enjoy
every
day
along
the
way.
To
make
matters
worse
for
Molly,
Carl
has
become
a
cranky
workaholic
since
his
boss,
Molly's
father
(Michael
Douglas),
promoted
him.
Disheartened
by
her
new
husband's
late
hours,
Molly
begins
to
spend
more
time
with
Dupree
and
to
see
his
softer
side--something
that
even
Carl
has
never
been
aware
of.
Carl,
meanwhile,
begins
to
resent
his
lackadaisical
friend
and
to
question
his
motives.
Ultimately,
it's
up
to
Dupree
to
get
Carl
and
Molly
back
on
track.
Wilson
gives
Dupree
a
puppy-dog
quality
that
makes
him
immensely
likable,
even
when
he's
screwing
up.
Dillon
is
surprisingly
funny
as
the
straight
man
in
the
duo,
trying
to
balance
his
old
life
with
his
new
responsibilities.
Supporting
actor
Seth
Rogen
is a
hoot
as
Carl
and
Dupree's
friend,
Neil,
who
desperately
wants
to
be
his
own
man
but
is
completely
under
his
wife's
thumb.
