talladega nights

[destrekor]

here's my very short review:

awesome! go see it! very funny! two thumbs up!

i witnessed the radio screening on Tuesday night at my theater, and the crowd loved it. I saw it myself at the staff screening last night, and it was also well liked by the staff. i found it hilarious and actually had a good back story to the comedy as well.

i'd say around 9/10, and thats hard to do because i don't give 10/10 as nothing if perfect, and 9/10 might as well be perfect because all movies will have flaws. but it was genuinly funny.

edit:
i know there are already topics on this, um... topic, but the way I see it, they were all preview threads. this here is an new thread seeing that the movie is out.

 

[ballmode]

did will ferrill pay you off?

 

[cKGunslinger]

But, but.. It's got Will Ferrel and involves Nascar.. the average ATOTer's brain will hemorrhage and explode just from thinking about seeing it. :laugh:


That said, my wife wants to see it, but I'm not that excited about it. The only other movie I plan on seeing this year is Snakes on a Plane.

 

[BillGates]

Will Ferrell = suck

 

[misle]

OP - did you like anchorman?

 

[destrekor]

people may not like will ferrell but I actually enjoy his humor in certain movies. I like Old School, Anchorman, and now this. i haven't always liked his work, but those movies do stick out as well done. his role he plays fits in the movies, and he easily plays the not-so-smart southern hick of a character Ricky Bobby.

You lost all credibility with that one statement alone.

Anchorman was a humorous movie. To disagree means that:

a) You have no sense of humor
b) Your sense of humor differs from that of someone who likes the movie :shocked:

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say b).

 

[ubercaffeinated]

[NaOH]

I actually kind of liked anchorman. This looks like a direct copy though..

I have a great sense of humor and I did watch that movie but kept waiting for the humor. It was more like a trainwreck and towards the end of the movie I just kept being amazed that it kept getting worse.

Very disappointing movie.

I'll wait for this one to come out on HBO in a few months and watch it then.

im not just if your trying to offend me by not liking a movie a like... not really sure... but.. here's the kicker.. i don't care. i liked it, enjoyed it no less, and if that's what keeps the world spinnin' for me, im happy.
anchorman wasn't worldclass, sure.. but it was stupid humor.
why do I bet you hate al the Kevin Smith movies like Dogma, Clerks 1 and 2, Mallrats, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back... like any of those? not the brightest of humor, but I just saw Clerks II and its damned funny, even funnier if you've seen his other movies.

 

[chambersc]

GREAT MOVIE!!!! Go see it...

 

[neutralizer]

Eh... I saw the trailer and felt myself getting dumber.

 

[TallBill]

Haha, that movie was hilarious. The jokes came off as casual conversation by idiots instead of punchline driven jokes. Very very funny.

 

[AU Tiger]

Saw this tonight and loved it. I think it has a different type humor than previous Will Ferrell movies I have seen. I hated Anchorman, but I found this movie to be extremely hilarious. A little familiarity with NASCAR makes the movie even better. It is a good comedy regardless.

You guys are crazy. Anchorman was great.

I'm a bit iffy about Will Ferrel movies. He does what I consider to be 'dumb comedy'. Basically acting as an idiot. (at least he doesn't go as low as fart jokes and the like)
I do find his movies amusing though. I imagine I will see this one in theater.
