PR Dukes Of Hazzard film still Jessica Simpson in The Dukes Of Hazzard Turning a much-loved TV show into a film is a risky business, as the cast and crew of The Dukes Of Hazzard have just found out.

One of the original cast members from the TV series has hit out against the flick, branding it a 'sleazy insult'.

Ben Jones, who played Cooter in the show, didn't hold back in his criticism of the film, which stars Jessica Simpson and Johnny Knoxville.

"Rather than honouring our legendary show, they have chosen to degrade it."

He said the dialogue was "profanity laced" and the plot full of "blatant sexual situations that mock the good clean family values of our series."

Finally, Ben warned cinema goers "don't go unless they clean it up!"

The comments, which appeared on Ben's official website, will no doubt come as a blow for Jessica in particular, who makes her Hollywood debut in the film.

Interestingly, however, Ben admitted he is yet to see the film - but has read the script.
