Why is it always You, Me And Dupree, Molly (Hudson) wants to know. Life should be blissfully happy for newlyweds Molly and Carl (Dillon), but it's turning out to be anything but. With Carl's best friend Dupree (Wilson) sleeping on their couch and Molly's father (Douglas) out to get rid of Carl, it's only a matter of time before someone will have to go...and it doesn't look like it's going to be Dupree. (Tricia Spears)

Special features include U-Control with picture-in-picture and production photographs, My Scene, a spoof trailer, up-front ads, and those found on the standard-definition DVD: an alternate ending with commentary by Directors Anthony & Joe Russo, a photo scrapbook entitled Dupree's Memoirs, commentary with the directors, another commentary track with Writer Michael Le Sieur and Producer Scott Stuber, eight deleted scenes with optional commentary with the directors, and four minutes of outtakes (I dare you to try not laughing).

The VC-1-encoded 1.85:1 HD DVD picture has balanced, well-saturated colors, but shadow delineation is lacking, as detail in the shadows can be lost. Minor edge enhancement is noticeable. (Danny Richelieu)

The Dolby® Digital Plus 5.1-channel soundtrack features impressive fidelity and well-mixed music to go with its relatively timid effects mix. The soundtrack is not bad, just not very exciting. (Danny Richelieu)
