Other times, though, it\u2019s fun to go back and discover something that was a big hit back in the day but that you haven\u2019t seen in years. That\u2019s how I returned to the year 2000 by watching <em>Dude, Where\u2019s My Car?<\/em>, a stoner comedy that you can now stream on Hulu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The paper-thin plot of <em>Dude, Where\u2019s My Car?<\/em> is that two best buds wake up with nasty hangovers and almost no idea what they got up to the previous night. That becomes a problem when they discover one of their cars is missing, and it contained anniversary gifts for their girlfriends. On a quest to get the car back and maybe just get their groove on, these two meatheads must retrace their steps on a Quixotic quest that would put Harold and Kumar to shame.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Sean William Scott and Ashton Kutcher in <em>Dude, Where\u2019s My Car?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Dude, Where\u2019s My Car?<\/em> released in the year 2000, but it has all the weirdly nostalgic vibes of a late-90s movie, starting with the cast.

While he has had some solid movies since then, Sean William Scott never really did become the major leading man this film was setting him up to be. And this movie\u2019s particular brand of juvenile stoner humor has long since faded from prominence, replaced by more character-driven humor in stoner movies such as <em>Pineapple Express<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The weirdest thing about rewatching this film, though, is seeing Ashton Kutcher as one of the lead characters. It didn\u2019t seem strange at the time, but Kutcher and his now wife (and former That \u201870s Show colleague) Mila Kunis have since been disgraced after their vocal support for costar Danny Masterson. After Masterson was convicted of rape, Kutcher and Munis wrote to the judge asking for leniency on sentencing for their old friend, which led to severe backlash because he\u2019d already been convicted of an awful crime.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Ashton Kutcher in &lt;em&gt;Dude, Where\u2019s My Car?&lt;\/em&gt;\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"496\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/npSDT8L4ka2xvnqF8uA7_A--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUyOTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/3b8a2229d8eb10a20566f1404cbb78fa\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Ashton Kutcher in <em>Dude, Where\u2019s My Car?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To be clear, this didn\u2019t detract from my enjoyment of rewatching <em>Dude, Where\u2019s My Car?<\/em> because I dug its nostalgic vibes and was in the right mood for its lowbrow humor.
