Them Duke Boys

I'm sitting in my hotel room on business travel watching the Dukes of Hazzard. Good God that movie is awful. They took all the goodness of the original series and flushed it down the toilet, only to replace it with a bunch of hillbilly sleaze.

The original series worked because the Dukes were people with shady pasts looking to do right, be honest, and make the most of what they had. In comparison Boss Hogg and Roscoe were scheming but somewhat inept foils. In the movie everyone seems to be dishonest and I can't imagine wanting anyone to come out ahead.
