~~Talladega Nights~~ Finally, Sasha Cohen comes to American cinema. Famous in England for the characters of Ali G (a white gangster wanna-be) and Borat (the socially inept) from Kazakhstan, Cohen in this film is a gay French Formula One driver coming over to NASCAR to whip up on redneck Ricky Bobby. This film is funny in part because Will Ferrell is the ultimate man-child; kind of cute, stupid and hilarious. This is a rare case of the previews not usurping all of the good jokes. If you haven’t experienced the Sasha Cohen phenomenon, start with Da Ali G Show.
