Title: Not even a good spoof...
Review: Not even a good spoof of NASCAR (although the big house with Hummers parked out front and props in the movie are spot-on), and NASCAR is an easy target. No, you have to switch your brain off entirely to even be in the same room as this dreck. This movie is for the new-driver teen who thinks painting racing stripes on the car really makes it go faster. And comedies should be funny, right?Sad to think that there hasn't been good racing cinema (racing as central theme of a dramatic film, not documentary) since LeMans and Grand Prix -- 40-some years ago. 'Fast and the Furious' has good racing scenes, as does "Two-Lane Blacktop' and 'Michel Vaillant', but if you want to watch a movie about racing... Talladega Nights isn't it.
