Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
My boss thinks this is the funniest movie in recent memory. He swore to me up and down I wouldn't be disappointed. He swore that I'd laugh so hard it hurt. He lied. I. Didn't. Laugh. Once.
Now, this makes me think that something is wrong with me. For instance, why isn't a gay, French, NASCAR driver funny? Oh, right, because it's delivered with all the comic timing of a brick breaking a window. In fact, I can say that for the whole film. The funny scenes just seemed to be dragged out, and could have been funny if they were cut in half.
I'll admit, I'm not a fan of NASCAR, but there is SO much there to make a funny movie. Sponsors, NASCAR fans, pit crews, the race day itself, and so much more.
So TCSers, I've decided that my boss must watch O Brother Where Art Thou as punishment.
Don't rent this movie. Don't watch it on TV. Go rent Superbad if you want to see a slightly funny movie. It's better, and that's saying a lot.
