Transcript of Featured Review

It is the whole slaps to a comedy which takes you as at the life of a NASCAR [inaudible] [0:00:15.4]. And Will Ferrell's character Ricky Bobby and John Reilly's character Cal Naughton Jr. best friends growing up throughout their lives. And now they both rise for the same NASCAR team. Then this French friend named John Gerard comes along and kind of takes Rick Bobby out of his high horse and he kind of has to rebuild his career. It is really really really funny movie and I really enjoyed it and it is really really typical Will Ferrell comedy. So if you like Will Ferrell's stuff that I am sure you'll like this. Let's get a couple actors from his previous movies in here as well and John Gerard is [inaudible] [0:00:58.5] from the Bora movie. So if you guys like his character in Talladega Nights it is really funny too. So I definitely recommend. You only picked up Talladega Nights if you get the chance to it is really funny and I am sure you'll enjoy it.

Summary
Sweet baby Jesus, we thank you for blessing Will Ferrell and Adam McKay with the talent to create a NASCAR comedy as hilarious as Talladega Nights . The so-called " Ballad of Ricky Bobby " is hardly flawless in fact it's not always firing on all cylinders but with comedy star Ferrell and director McKay still hot from the success of their previous comedy hit Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy , most of this 108-minute spoof of oval-track racing is so knee-slappin' funny that you can't help but surrender to the stupidity. Obviously, Ferrell's the shining star, and his portrayal of lead-footed pit-crew-member-turned-#1 NASCAR champion Ricky "I Wanna Go Fast" Bobby (how can you not love that name?) is spot-on perfect, righteously spoofing the entirety of NASCAR culture without insulting its oft-ridiculed roots in redneck bootlegging of a bygone era. You could even argue that Talladega Nights is truer to NASCAR than Tom Cruise's Days of Thunder , and it's certainly more entertaining, especially when you add John C. Reilly as Ricky's life-long pal, teammate, and eventual rival Cal Naughton, Jr. (together they're nicknamed "Shake 'n Bake"), and Sacha Baron Cohen (from Da Ali G Show and Borat ) as gay French "Formula Un" driver-turned NASCAR rival Jean Girrard, to a stellar cast including Molly Shannon, Greg Germann, Amy Adams and Michael Clarke Duncan. Sure, it's mostly a showcase for Ferrell's loud, over-the-top antics and nonsensical non sequiturs (like cameo appearances by Elvis Costello and Mos Def), but with Ferrell behind the wheel, Talladega Nights rolls into victory lane with fuel to spare, and there's one final bit of comedy (with a tip of the hat to William Faulkner) for those who sit through the credits. -- Jeff Shannon Stills from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (click for larger image) More NASCAR and Talladega Nights at Amazon.com The Calendar On blu-ray NASCAR on PSP Our NASCAR Store NASCAR The Imax Experience Speed, Guts, and Glory Book Other Will Ferrell Films Bewitched Elf The Best of Will Ferrell More Films by Will Ferrell
