Review

Sitting in a movie theatre with only two other couples, it was hard to gage how well the audience reacted to You, Me and Dupree, but we think they, like us, enjoyed the movie. They laughed and so did Bob and I.

Although I thought from the movie trailer that some of the situations the main characters found themselves in were a bit much, in context of the movie, they weren't all that unusual.

When you say "yes" to allowing someone to live in your home, strange things can and do happen. We speak from personal experience.
