	LA Weekly - The Man Who Came to Dinner
		Dupree, it seems, is freer and more in touch with his inner self than all us stiffs with our buttoned-down 9-to-5s — especially Carl, who labors sheepishly as a land developer under his stereotypically disapproving boss/father-in-law (a shrill Michael Douglas) and has been altogether emasculated by marriage and grown-up responsibility.
		Front and center the entire time, Dupree is clearly meant to be an endearing menace, like a dog that shits all over the furniture and then stares at you with baleful eyes, and the filmmakers seem certain that we’ll delight in every one of Wilson’s bucktoothed smiles and aw-shucks shrugs.
		There’s probably a great comedy (or two) yet to be made about the dilemma of being torn between family life and shooting the shit down at the bar with the guys.
