Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby
Ricky Bobby is a national hero with a 'smokin'; hot' trophy wife, pair of borderline-abusively precocious sons. His racing partner and lifelong friend Cal Naughton, Jr., never fails to provide him with a hand on the racetrack, frequently performing their trademark 'slingshot' maneuver to shoot Ricky into first place, leaving Cal in second. When flamboyant French Formula One driver Jean Girard challenges 'Shake' and 'Bake' for the supremacy of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby must face his own demons and fight Girard for the right to be known as racing';s top driver.

Often a one-note joke that goes on way too long...

The movie takes a piecemeal approach that allows for several guffaw-inducing comic bits, but doesn't hold together enough for a sustained comic experience.

Essentially a string of gags loosely looped together, a set of absurd situations for the actors to clown their way through, Talladega Nights is an affable entertainment, both a celebration and a satire of lowbrow pleasures.

Showcases Will Ferrell's comedy genius to perfection.

You pretty much have to like Will Ferrell to like Talladega Nights, it's his film through and through. But if you do, you're in for a ride.

The script by Ferrell and director Adam McKay, a parody of sports biopics, takes the same freewheeling approach that served them well on Anchorman, but with a more mean-spirited edge.

Broad but not crude, dumb but not witless, clever but still snot-spittingly funny. Stupidly brilliant, in other words.

Talladega starts out slow, picks up speed in the middle, and nearly crashes and burns in the end.
August 04, 2006
Talladega Nights may be brash, unbridled, even unhinged, but its cornpone humor is rich in parody, and its craftsmanship is superb.
August 07, 2006
One of the stupidest and one of the funniest movies in Will Ferrell's career.

A comedy with horsepower to spare.

When the crazy comes, it's pretty good crazy.
