Well, went to see the film last night. I didn’t have very high expectations, but what a great film it turned out to be!
Plus points were:-
- The General (of course). This film must hold the record for the most footage of a power- sliding B- body.
- The Duke boys. They were obviously the central characters, and carried the film through it’s entirety.
- Good ‘ol Southern humour. Plenty of self- depreciating belly laughs to be had.
- Some of the incidental characters were very funny, and helped to flush the film out.
Downsides were:-
- Jessica Simpson. You just wanna slap the conceited look off her face in every scene she appears in.
- Boss Hogg and Roscoe. Total deadlegs who added nothing to the film. A pity, because a lot more could have been done with the characters.
In summary, I enjoyed it so much I spent nearly an hour seriously considering putting Dixie horns on the car when we came out of the cinema
. Can’t wait for the sequal.
