Stroked My Funny Bone
When Bewitched was running on television half of the plots involved Darrin’s job where he and Larry Tate every week contended with yet another egotistical company president. The plot of Stroker Ace hearkens back to those days of Bewitched and it has Burt Reynolds as a NASCAR driver doing everything possible to get out from under a contract with a sponsor who’s a blithering idiot.Although Burt certainly gets in his innings in Stroker Ace, especially seeing him in a chicken suit and driving his car in a race in one, the best one in Stroker Ace by far is Ned Beatty. Beatty got an Academy Award nomination for playing the all powerful, malevolent media mogul in Network. Here he takes the same character and plays it for laughs and he’s absolutely hysterical. Beatty owns a fried chicken company and he could easily have been one of McMahon&Tate’s clients from Bewitched.
If outrageous overacting lead by Ned Beatty isn’t reason enough to watch Stroker Ace, than certainly the curvaceous Loni Anderson should do. Loni is giving out with her best Marilyn Monroe imitation as Beatty’s advertising person who thinks that what Beatty is asking of Reynolds is tasteless and stupid. Of course she falls for Burt on the screen and in real life.
I’m not a NASCAR fan, but I don’t think you have to be to watch Stroker Ace and enjoy it. I have however become a fan of the Professional Bull Riders in recent years and they have their sponsors set up in a similar fashion as does NASCAR for its various drivers. I don’t think the PBR has any sponsors as outrageous as Ned Beatty. If this film was about the PBR I can just see Beatty insisting to Guilherme Marchi that he ride a bull in a chicken suit or something equally bizarre.
The film got bad reviews and I can’t see why. It’s not sophisticated comedy to be sure, but it’s not all that bad. And Ned Beatty alone is worth seeing and appreciating Stroker Ace.
