Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Kyle Cohen I usually have a problem with an unlikable central character, but I just can't resist Ricky Bobby's ridiculously funny character! He is very fun to watch run around, especially when on fake fire. Now, when watching this film don't except any breathtaking stories. Because this story is a very bumpy ride. The first 20 minutes is all obvious exposition and some plot points are honesty too stupid for my taste. The "Shake and Bake" joke got old quickly and the ending is a little messy. (keeping this spoiler-free) They wanted to wrap everything up in a nice little bow but it just doesn't work in my opinion. Mistakes should have consequences and I despise when someone doesn't get what he deserved for his choices. However, the story does have some surprising strong points. Watching Ricky Bobby lose his racing touch was done very well and was interesting to watch. That surprised me. And despite my previously mentioned problems this is an extremely funny film. I haven't this hard in a film in a long time! Sasha Baron Cohen provides some awesomely ridiculous laughs as well. This isn't the ballad expected based off of the title, but this is fun ride with laughs all the way to the finish line.

M MALIK Will Ferrell is one funny guy in Hollywood that no one can match after Jim Carey i believe hes made a lot of comedy films but this is totally the best of his career for me at least i saw this in 2006 or 2007 i guess now again i saw this recently its still one of the best comedy film ever made,yes it include a lot of racism,disrespecting other people,cultures and all sorts of nonsense that is going on in the world this film just tried to highlight this and its also a eye opener for one to see why these things are happening,apart from this the dialogs in this films are awesome lines like shake & bake,slingshot,you sound like a dog with a peanut butter in your mouth,if you ain't first you're last and many more,to talk about funny scenes it will take forever to discuss but one of my favorites are when Ricky Bobby feels he is on the fire and strips on the racing track,another one is the train scene where a guy insults him for talking about problems third one is where Ricky stabs himself with a knife,this movie is filled with hilarious stuff i wonder why there is not a sequel to this Will Ferrel Should make it,got nice racing scenes as well specially the ending crash sequence is well shot by director Adam Mckay.The Plot:Ricky Bobby Is A Nascar Driver He always wins at number one position with his friend until a man from France jean Girard challenges him Ricky;s life becomes a living nightmare after getting defeated by Girard,he looses his job,wife dumps him and hes got another rival hes got to watch out for his former best friend turned enemy Cal Naughton Jr.the cast:aside from Will Ferrel he looked awesome and got great comic timing he was very powerful here in the role,Sacha Baron Cochen was nice to see,John C Reilly as a great side hero, Lisle Bibb appears as a sexy hot lady but out of them all what was Amy Adams doing here i though she does got some humor in her it shows here.this film came in 2006 its got a theatrical version and an uncut version i saw the rated r version the first time i think i lost that one but this film does need a uncut version again with a lot of deleted scenes are more for fans to enjoy as i did,the theatrical edited version is a mess so beware of that and don't buy it only get unrated version.Over All Talladega Nights:The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby 2006 is a great film to watch its one of the most amazing comedy film ever made from the last decade i totally enjoyed it you will too just don't look at critic reviews please My Rating Is 10/10 Must See.Recommended

Michael Barton First and foremost, I am not one to spend a hour on my review nor do I think that's important in any way shape or form. I don't get paid for my review, so this is it: This movie starts off slow; with some one liners that aren't funny and a plot that is as foreseeable as a weather forecast. But, where I think a lot of people go wrong, is cutting this movie short. Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) isn't likable at first, but halfway through the movie, you start to connect to the hardships that he experiences and the failures that sometimes swallow success. The real joy is connecting to the characters and laughing at their portrayals. This comedy isn't paid laughter, but rather, free enjoyment.If you're into shallow laughter then that is fine. Different strokes for different folks; however, if you want to enjoy an entertaining comedy that has great character development and execution, then you may like Talladega Nights.Give it a shot.

Gideon24 Will Ferrell and his growing rep company provide some of their biggest laughs ever in TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE LEGEND OF RICKY BOBBY, another of Ferrell's sports-oriented comedies that takes a popular American sport and turns it on its ears.Ferrell plays the title character, an arrogant and dim-witted stock car driver, whose winning philosophy was based on something his father said to him as a child, whose life is altered forever when he has a serious accident and after a lengthy rehab, tries to resume his life and learns that his best friend has moved in with his wife and kids, taken over his career, and has to depend on his long lost father to take his life back. Ferrell and Adam McKay have concocted one of the smartest and funniest screenplays in comedy history which takes effective pot shots at the stock car driving industry as well as the advertising industry as well. McKay's energized direction is also a big plus, but its Ferrell and his winning cast that really make this one shine.Ferrell is hysterical, as always, and gets solid comic support from the always reliable John C. Reilly as Cal Naughton, Ricky's best friend who finally takes advantage of his chance to move out of Ricky's shadow, Leslie Bibb as Ricky's gold-digging wife, David Keocher and Michael Clarke Duncan as members of Ricky's pit crew, Jane Lynch as Ricky's mom, and in a performance that comes as close as I have seen anyone to steal a movie from Will Ferrell, Gary Cole as Ricky's derelict Dad, whose training sessions to get Ricky back on the track are hysterical. Sasha Baron Cohen provides some giggles as well in a sexually androgynous variation of his BORAT character.The film provides solid laughs from beginning to end, especially for Ferrell fans. Check out this comic gem.
