First up: Little Miss Sunshine. Absolute brilliance at every turn. A final pay-off that will make you laugh so hard your stomach will fall out onto the cinema floor. What more could you want? Can't recommend it highly enough.
Second: Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Hilarious characters: check*. Amusing situations: check. Great one-liners: check. Silly accents: check. But does it work as a film? Not quite. Enjoyable enough, but somehow not cohesive enough to make this a classic comedy, unlike Will Ferrells Anchorman, which simply does not get better.
There endeth the lesson.
*Of particular note are Ricky's children and the drunken wife of the Nascar team boss.
