Jessica Simpson
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)We rate Jessica Simpson's big movie debut
THE ROLE Good ol' gal Daisy Duke in the TV-to-movie remake of the campy 1979-84 TV series.
DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY Low. Let's see here... Simpson as a leggy blonde who uses her physical assets to disarm the opposition and win the day? Sounds a little like a page from her career playbook, especially with the way she honed her ''not as dumb-blond as you think I am'' shtick over three seasons of Newlyweds.
LEVEL OF SUCCESS 3. Okay, she did what was required in a role that called more for posing than emoting, but points must be deducted for the brutal treatment she gave Nancy Sinatra's ''These Boots Are Made for Walkin''' on the Dukes soundtrack. Plus, she kinda got out-hottied by a costar (Lynda Carter) more than twice her age.
