THAT-JUST-HAPPENED!
You know, it seems like comedians make two kick-ass movies before the quality of their work transforms into a string of hit-or-miss comedies. Adam Sandler had Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore before his hit-or-miss run farted out into a continuous stream of diarrhea. Will Ferrell scored big with Anchorman and then followed that up with the hilarious Talledega Nights...although Ferrell seems to be faring better than Sandler since for every Land of the Lost he comes out with a Step Brothers.
Not that a movie about NASCAR needs much help to be ridiculous but this is another Ferrell comedy where it seems like the actors were told to just walk out on set and start saying a bunch of random bullshit. This one is a QUOTE BONANZA!
Ferrell's got plenty of help out there (mainly from John C. Reilly) and the cast is even more impressive looking back on it four years later. Let's see, we've got:
- John C. Reilly (Step Brothers/Walk Hard)
- Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat...need I say more?)
- Jane Lynch (Glee)
- Amy Adams (Wedding Crashers and a bunch of shitty romantic comedies)
- Jack McBryer (30 Rock - he plays his fucking 30 Rock character)
- Oh, and let's not forget about THE CHAMP!
Honestly, I'm not going to explain why this movie is fucking hilarious. If you don't understand, Tommy will come back there and hit you in the head with a tack hammer. Just remember...SHAKE AND BAKE! As the great Colonol Sanders said, "I'm too drunk...to taste this chicken."
Why It's Awesome: Six Words: Will Ferrell as a Nascar driver...'nuff said.
