What: Dudley DoRight
Where: @ home - free HBO weekend
Why: Jonathan picked
Man, this movie was pretty bad. And it wasn't bad b/c all the actors were acting like cartoon characters (very fake-ish), the plot line was just pretty slim.
We meet Dudley DoRight (Brenden Fraiser), a Canadian Mountie. We don't get much of his background. All we know is he has wanted to be a Mountie his entire life, and he's some kind-of moron. Then there is Nell (Sarah Jessica Parker). She's the sweetest gal in town. And our villian is Snidley Whiplash (Doc Oc from Spiderman 2). He's got a kick butt name, and he lives for causing trouble.
The problem is, I'm kind-of confused about Snidley's plan. He buys some gold, plants it all over town, and tells the media that there is "free gold here in Canada!". All the Americans sprint up to Canada to pan for the gold. They are getting rich, and spending money in their town. That doesn't seem so bad. Oh yeah, Snidley has pretty much bought everything IN town, renamed it "Whiplash City" ... so he is making a huge profit off this.
Snidley and Dudley duel over Nell. They have a final showdown with the help of some local Indians, and of course Dudley wins. It was all just ... over. Not much plot happening. Even some random Eric Idol and Regis and Kathie Lee (yes, this was in the Kathie Lee days) can't save this movie.
