Jones slams Hazzard

Ben Jones, who played mechanic Cooter on the TV series Dukes of Hazzard has come out against the new film adaptation in a letter on his Web site. I have yet to see the movie --and when I say "yet to see the movie" I mean "I'm probably not going to see the movie"-- but I assume that since the fellas of Broken Lizard wrote the screenplay the film is not without its ribald moments. I think it's admirable that Jones feels such a kinship with the show (heck, the guy runs two Dukes of Hazzard museums) but straight adaptations of a show rarely work with today's audiences.
