I was watching Anchorman on cable last night for the zillionth time, and I just couldn't get over how brilliant the writing is... especially smart writing about especially stupid people. Oh well, "when in Rome."
Anyway, David Poland thinks Talladega Nights is the first great comedy (finally) of the summer:

"Talladega Nights marks a return to the form of Old School, Elf, and Anchorman. It is a bigger film than Anchorman and not the least gimmicky… not that I didn't love those gimmicks. This is a straight caricature comedy, not terribly distant from reality, except that the characters are very broad. But no winking at the camera. In some ways, this is a Ferrell step towards Adam Sandler." |
