''Dude, Where's My Car?'' is a 2000 comedy film directed by Danny Leiner. It is about the journey of two young men ([[That '70s Show|Ashton Kutcher]] and [[American Pie|Seann William Scott]]) to find their stolen car. It is a [[Stoner Flick|stoner film]], although technically only one of the film's characters, a dog, is seen smoking marijuana.
The film received poor reviews from critics, but was a modest box-office success, and has managed to develop a small cult following after its DVD and home video release.
The title of the film has become a benchmark of popular culture of the time of its release. It is referenced widely in many different situations, an example being ''Dude, Where's My Country?'', the title of a political book by [[Michael Moore]] criticising post-9/11 America.
For the trope regarding losing track of one's car, please see [[Dude, Where's Our Car?]]
