i can understand that people like Donny can say "its just entertainment, i liked it" - Jeffrey Dahmer could have argued that picking up queer asian boys, taking them home, raping and eating them was "just entertainment" also. doesn't make it right.
in terms of production, script, dialogue, acting, directing, camera work, musical scoring etc.... it was like some sort of contest from bizarro world to see how shitty they could make it. it was just terrible. not terrible in the usual way like "i didn't like it because.. [insert 1 rational reason here]" - terrible in an "oh my fucking god, i think the opening credits are already so fucking dumb, that the guy three seats away just started convulsing and lost consciousness due to the realization that we are about to sit through one of the stupidest movies to ever make it into a theater"
i would rather rather go to a hospital everyday for the rest of my life, getting a biopsy on a possibly cacerous skin growth and have the docter looking sad and dissapointed while he nervously held the results in his hands ... beating around the bush for 2 hrs before telling me the results are negative, than sit through that movie again.
I thought Talledega Nights was surprisingly funny. I watched it twice. I expected a mostly awkward, often uncomfortable and kinda weird type of humor like Anchorman mixed with a few memorable scenes, but actually, the whole movie was very funny from start to finish if you like Will Farrel.
