| Synopsis |
| Carl and Molly have found the one unfortunate hitch
in their perfectly constructed newly wedded world: Dupree. A slacker
with the soul of a poet, Dupree just can't seem to catch a break from
The Man. When he takes a week off to best-man Carl and Molly's marriage
in Hawaii, Dupree gets the unceremonious heave-ho from his boss. Now
jobless, car-less and evicted from the cot at his favorite watering
hole, he just needs to crash with the Petersons for a couple of days;
okay, maybe a month or so. At first, Carl is psyched to have the couch
guest while Molly bears the brunt of Dupree's well-meaning antics.
But, as Carl becomes buried in his grown-up job of land development
and headaches, he finds it hard to juggle Dupree and his newlywed
responsibilities. As time passes, his and Molly's houseguest uses
his ample spare time to become a great companion to her, underscoring
Carl's new workaholic tendencies. Even Molly's dad begins to fall
for Dupree's carefree wisdom, frustrating Carl to no end. Soon, everyone
(but Carl) begins to root for Dupree to stick around. But just as
the impish buddy starts becoming a fixture in the Petersons' home,
three becomes not just a crowd, but a full-blown comic catastrophe.
As the couple realizes their ideas of a white-picket fence marriage
are morphing, their loveable pal serves as a daily reminder that finding
your inner Dupree might just be one of life's hidden secrets. |
