Saw it this afternoon and it wasn’t as bad as it had the potential for. Good cameos by the Broken Lizard guys from Super Troopers. Jessica Simpson looked fantastic although her GA accent might need some work. Awesome driving scenes and a good soundtrack.
You should see the Daily Show piece on Cooter’s boycott of the movie. Classic stuff by Stephen Colbert.
That piece was hilarious. His incredulity is just amazing. I remember watching that show as a kid and thinking “isn’t getting in car chases with cops illegal?”
The bit with the college kids saying “Fuck Cooter” was just priceless. That and Colbert telling the NAACP guy that lynching black folk wasn’t his idea of fun had me literally on the floor.
Yeah, and you’d think with a car like the General Lee, it wouldn’t take Sherlock Holmes to find you.
Here it is. Definitely worth a watch.

I don’t watch the Daily Show much anymore but that clip was pretty fucking funny.
NAACP guy: “At one time it was funny to lynch black people in the South”
Colbert: “Well see that’s where you and I disagree”
Classic.
LOL that part was great!!
