- 75The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasYou, Me And Dupree isn't terribly democratic about spreading the laughs around; whenever Wilson disappears from the screen, the comedy evaporates in kind.
- 67Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIsn't a very funny movie (it preaches nonconformity in the rote style of an overlit sitcom), but Wilson, at least, keeps it afloat.
- 63Chicago TribuneChicago TribuneThe end product feels less funny than formulaic.
- 60VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangA middling third-wheel comedy elevated a couple of notches by the ineffably weird charms of Owen Wilson.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe comedy is obvious and flat while the drama is stale. They did do one thing right, however: They attracted a stellar cast.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliA mess of conflicting tones and missed opportunities. The only one to emerge unscathed is Kate Hudson, who exhibits qualities she has rarely shown since her breakthrough role in "Almost Famous."
- 40Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleAs far as disposable entertainment goes, it gets the job done.
- 40The New York TimesManohla DargisThe New York TimesManohla DargisA limp attempt to wed a romantic comedy to a buddy comedy, largely because the filmmakers see women as visitors from another planet, which is more or less what they now are in Hollywood.
- 30Village VoiceVillage VoiceThe movie goes from being another mildly depressing lump of unrealized comic potential to being an actively unpleasant experience.
- 30Washington PostAnn HornadayWashington PostAnn HornadayArtistically, You, Me and Dupree is a mess. Technically, it's an abomination. Spiritually, it's a void. Commercially, it'll probably be a big hit.
