In all, a good movie! This movie gives a taist of what life as a nascar racer is like, and at the same time provides a great laugh. Will Ferrell, Sacha Baron Cohen, Micheal Clarke Duncan, David Koechner, and Amy Adams all play great roles in this movie. I believe that Talladega Nights, although it is very funny, is overrated. I would say that there are 8-10 really funny parts to this movie (most of which are shown in the previews) and the rest is...not bad, but not amazigly funny either. Everyone says that this is Will Ferrell's best movie. This is the one reason why I think that it is overrated. Will Ferrell is a great actor (my favorite) and although this was not a bad movie at all, it certanitly was not his best. Although it is overrated, still a great movie, and I believe that you will get a good laugh out of this one.Read full review
NASCAR stock car racing sensation Ricky Bobby is a national hero because of his "win at all costs" approach. He and his loyal racing partner, childhood friend Cal Naughton Jr., are a fearless duo -- "Shake" and "Bake" by their fans for their ability to finish so many races in the #1 and #2 positions, with Cal always in second place. 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. The characters are extremely funny. John C. Reily and Will Farrell make a perfect red-neck match in this comedy. So, whether you are a will Farrell fan or not, if you just enjoy fun movies that will have you laughing out loud from start to finish, than you should definitely check this movie out.Read full review
Will Ferrell is a legend - right up there in the great comics of all time. He always makes you wanting more. OH it tastes so good . Never mind, wrong flick. Situational comedy at its best. Some classic stupid lines. The cast is supportive but great. Maybe because I've seen all the clips, I wasn't surprised. I did enjoy this thoroughly and I'm glad I bought this DVD.
This movie was aweful in every respect and is a very, very low standard for the talented actor Will Ferrell. Unfortunately this movie wasn't funny at all and you should never consider purchasing this movie before renting it. This movie doesn't even attempt at romance, action, or drama so any kind of quality is riding on humor and the comedy is brash, crude, offensive, or annoying. This movie would appeal only to a very select few. If you are looking for some recent quality material from Ferrall, try Melinda and Melinda, Bewitched, or Stranger than Fiction.
IF YOU LIKE NASCAR , COMEDY, REDNECK HUMOR ,OR WILL FERREL, YOU SHOULD LIKE THIS MOVIE, IT IS PRETTY STUPID - BUT,THEN ISNT THAT THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED TO BE ? IT HAS A COUPLE OF SLOW TIMES , BUT PICKS BACK UP WITH THE LAUGHS, I HAVENT RECEIVED THE ONE I ORDERED ON EBAY YET, IF YOU WONDERED HOW I BOUGHT IT TODAY AND WROTE THIS REVIEW - I SAW IT AT THE THEATER AND RENTED IT ONCE ALSO -OBVIOUSLY - I LIKED IT ! THE FRENCH GUY REMINDS ME OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH NASCAR NOW- WITH ALL OF THE OPEN WHEEL DRIVERS ENTERING AND THE FOREIGNERS- HAVING A TOUGH TIME BEING ACCEPTED INTO AN AMERICAN-REDNECK-SPORT - SO IF YOU DONT ENJOY PEOPLE BEING MADE FUN OF, OR MAKING FUN OF THEMSELVES-THIS MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU - THANK RICK BOBBY - not a CHICK flic !!!!!!!!!!!!
