"You, Me and Dupree" **1/2 (out of four): Mildly diverting guest-who-wouldn't-leave comedy never quite gels but gets a boost from the goofiness of Owen Wilson and the cutesiness of Kate Hudson.
The worst thing I could say about the guest-who-wouldn’t-leave comedy “You, Me and Dupree” is that - like its lead character - it overstays its welcome. “Dupree” isn’t that bad, but it does have something in common with the lovable titular man-boy played by Owen Wilson: somewhere inside this scattershot comedy there's a sweet, sincere story trying to break free. If you look past the (literal) toilet humor, masturbation jokes and gratuitous porn references, there’s the tale of a single guy with a big heart who watches his friends get married while he desperately clings to his childhood. But that probably wouldn’t sell as many tickets.
