Shake & Bake

Excellant reviews. I had to see it.

It was a night out with the machas. Mat was back and we were off to our favourite hangout venue, 1 Utama. Dinner was planned prior to the movie. In the end, it was myself, Terry and Kelvin who were game for dinner. After much consideration, we decided to head to TGI Fridays for some spoilings. Rm39.90. A set dinner of a main course, starters and dessert. Quite a decent price for a meal. We decided to go with our main course but choose a different starters and dessert from the menu so that we could have a taste of everything. Food was alright. Nothing really that outstanding that would caused me to come back for more. Service on the other hand was horrible. It took some time for a waiter to get our orders, have our dessert arrived considering we were catching time and calling for the bill that took ages to come. Not a pleasant experience but couldn't care less as we were rushing for our movie, as usual.

Taladega Nights? I finally manage to say it out after having some problem just pronouncing that name. Talalageda lah, Talalaladegala lah. Aiyo! Even Mat's uncle thought it was a Tamil movie.

It was quite an interesting movie. There were a couple of good laughter while there were some they didn't really tickle me that much. Being an American movie, the jokes at times missed the mark. It was hard to laugh and enjoy the movie thoroughly, thanks to the not so enthusiastic crowd that created a not so condusive enviroment of laughter. For me, it was an alright movie but the other machas really enjoyed themselves. We were like the only group of people laughing our heads off while there were a few giggles going around in the hall. It did felt strange and stupid but we that didn't deter us from laughing.

Will Farrel can really be a joke with a straight face. Its rather confusing, whether to laugh or to be serious. I didn't recognise Ali G. Though that he was the guy with ski cap, dark glasses and a moustache. He apparently was thin, clean shaven and could see he had hair on his head. His supposedly French accent was simply a laughing stock.

Comedies a great fun to watch especially when you be watching serious movies for quite some time. I do like comedies, if the jokes is funny. However, I still prefer dramas and movies that have a story behind it. Feels its worth the money I pay for a ticket. Maybe I'm the type that prefer movie with substance, a message that can be conveyed that can either encourage the audience or spur a thought or two. Well, thats my preference but don't let my comments deter you because like they say "A good movie is in the eye of the audience that watches it". Forget about reviews, a movie is good if you like it.

Here's a a sneak preview of the movie. Enjoy!
