In this lighthearted comedy, we follow the life of a young couple, Carl and Molly, who have just taken the big step of moving into their new home with big dreams and plans. Everything seems to be going smoothly until Carl's disheveled best friend, Dupree, becomes homeless after being fired and asks his friend for a place to stay for a while. What starts as an act of friendship quickly spirals into total chaos.
Dupree, played by the hilarious Owen Wilson, is the epitome of reckless abandon and irresponsibility. Despite his intentions of being a supportive companion, his antics lead Carl into a myriad of uncomfortable and comedic situations. From throwing unexpected parties to giving unconventional marriage advice, Dupree becomes a constant disruption in the couple’s life. Tensions rise as Carl has to deal with a boss who disapproves of his lifestyle and with Molly's growing frustration, as she begins to question her husband's decisions.
As everyone's lives crumble around him, Carl realizes that having Dupree in his life might just be what he needs to reignite the spark in his marriage and become the husband Molly has always wanted. With a touch of craziness, love, and lessons about friendship, the story reminds us that sometimes, the bonds we forge bring true joy, even amidst the chaos.
