I have to admit it,the plot (2 guys not remembering what they did the night before and ending up in an intergalactic crisis)is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds,but the truth is, for some twisted reason , I like this movie. If people don't like this kind of stuff,why did they choose to watch it in the first place?
Whatever this movie lacks in intelligence is compensated by the talent of its two stars:Seann William Scott is as entertaining as in American Pie and Road Trip,and as for Ashton Kutcher...Well,That 70's Show aside,he's never really managed to be this funny again. Those two guys know they're not doing a masterpiece such as Some Like It Hot, but they manage to make us giggle with the material they've been given. They know this movie will never appear in any Top 10 or 50 (except maybe Stupidest Movies Ever),and they're fine with that. And so should the audience.
So,if you want to watch something that's funny but intelligent,watch a Woody Allen movie,or Wes Anderson's films,or The Simpsons,but if you want to watch something that just makes you laugh without having you focus on the story,I strongly recommend Dude,Where's My Car?.

Plot summary
Roommates Jesse and Chester, both who have more than just a few cards short of a full deck, are stoner dudes who don't even do their jobs as pizza delivery guys well. They awaken one morning having little recollection of what they did the previous night, due to being wasted. They discover that their kitchen is full of prepackaged pudding, how they got all the pudding they are unaware. From a telephone message they receive, they come to the realization that at some point during the previous night they were at a party at the house of their girlfriends, twins Wanda and Wilma, and that today is their one year anniversary, which they did remember as they already bought the twins gifts. But the worst thing in not remembering what happened last night is that Jesse's car is missing. In trying to find out what happened to the car, they believe they have to recreate the feeling and mindset of last night, meaning getting wasted all over again. In trying to find the car, they, being the types that area easily distracted, get sidetracked by one item after another, most specifically the potential of having sex with hot babes (sex with which Wanda and Wilma have not yet provided them),and learning that they apparently had a suitcase filled with $200,000 last night, the suitcase and therefore the money to which they don't know what happened. During their day of discovery, they also end up encountering one group of alien wannabes, and two groups of actual aliens, all three groups who are after the continuum transfunctioner which they believe Jesse and Chester have. Jesse and Chester don't know where it is let alone what it is, but these three groups seem to be willing to do whatever necessary to get it from Jesse and Chester. In the process, Jesse and Chester may have to make decisions which may not only save their lives and those of Wanda, Wilma and their best friend Nelson, a zen-master, but that of the entire universe. But most importantly, they may actually find Jesse's car after all is said and done.

SO stupid,but SO funny!
A Special Kind of Stupid
Two potheads wake up after a night of partying and cannot remember where they parked their car.
Some stupid humor works and some is just stupid. This tends to lean more towards working, though there are plenty of stupid moments that are just beyond belief. There are also a few crude sexual jokes that I could have done without, but I suppose that is the audience. (Do you regret this one, Jennifer Garner?) There should be no surprise that at one point this was a "Beavis and Butt-Head" script.
The great cast and sporadic humor make this enjoyable. Not great, maybe not a classic. And if it is to be called a "stoner comedy" (which is a stretch),it would not even compare to the likes of "Half Baked".
Dumb & Dumber meets The Hangover
Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott) are two idiots who party too hard and must remember what happened last night. They have to find their car and their anniversary gifts for their girlfriends (Jennifer Garner, Marla Sokoloff).
Sure it's stupid. It's so stupid. It's so very very stupid. That's the point. What makes this works is the two leads. Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott are both likable actors and they make a fun couple of friends. Although the script seems to be written by people who's had too much weed. It's still fun for sober folks. Although it'd help to have just a little. This from Danny Leiner who would bring us another stoner classic 'Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle'.
