Dude, Where's My Car? is a 2000 comedy film in which two slackers wake up from a night of wild partying to find their car missing.
The movie received poor reviews from critics, even from many who stated that they enjoy dumb movies. However, Dude, Where's My Car? has managed to develop a cult following.
It was directed by Danny Leiner, and starred Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott.
Plot
At the movie's outset, Jesse (Kutcher) and Chester (Scott) awaken with hangovers and no memory of how they got them. Their house is filled with containers of pudding, and there's an angry message from their girlfriends on the answering machine. They emerge from their home to find Jesse's car missing, and with it their girlfriends' one year anniversary presents. This prompts Jesse to ask the film's title question: "Dude, where's my car?"
The duo begins retracing their steps in an attempt to discover just where they left the car. Along the way, they encounter a transgender stripper, UFO cultists, and a reclusive ostrich farmer. The film continues as a buddy film, but takes on a few elements of science fiction when "the dudes" meet two groups of aliens searching for the "Continuum Transfunctioner", a device capable of destroying the universe.
Adding "save all of existence" to their list of tasks, Jesse and Chester trek onward. By the end of the film, they have recovered the car, salvaged their relationships, and discovered just where all the pudding came from. And the universe isn't destroyed, which is pretty sweet.
Sequel
A planned sequel, Seriously Dude, Where's My Car? has reportedly been cancelled after Scott refused to take part.
