Welcome Back Dukes

It is quite rare for a TV reunion movie to be as good as a series itself but this Dukes of Hazzard movie was great.

The original Dukes of Hazzard series was just plain fun-it was the type of show anyone could enjoy. This movie recreated the magic of the original series and even though the stars were a lot older that made absolutely no difference to me-I still liked them and they were still convincing in their roles.

The movie may not have had Boss Hogg in but to it's credit they did acknowledge Boss Hogg unlike some TV reunion movies which seem to forget certain characters.

A great film which will be loved by fans of the TV series.
