That just happened!

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2006)

Those of you who have not experienced the deep deep deep south like I have (I grew up in Alabama) may not get this movie. Many of the jokes require that you know the culture of NASCAR. Why is Sasha Cohen's character a gay Frenchman? Pretty simple, really. This here's America! ;) There was some major broo-ha-ha about Jeff Gordon possibly being gay a few years back, and when the most recent Iraq war started, much of the deep south hated the French for not going along with things. The baby Jesus scene that is oft-maligned here was so funny I almost cried, because I know that guy! I know 10 of that guy! I used to work for that guy at a bank, for cryin' out loud. This is a hilarious, grand satire of the deep south and the culture of NASCAR. I loved it.
