More Funny Than Not, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby" Amuses.

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2009
The Bottom Line: "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby" might not be a perfect comedy, but it has a lot of humor that endures from the broad attacks on NASCAR/NASCAR culture!
Review: When one becomes involved romantically with another, they tend to share things. I think that is actually one of the more exciting aspects of relationships and I have found myself more delighted than not to share my DVD collection with my partner and...

A very cliche come back story

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a very basic comedy that follows all the rules, but doesn't really stand out. With reliance on crude humor, I can't recommend this film.
Review: First off, let me say that I'm not a Will Ferrel fan. With that stated, let's continue.

Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrel) has always dreamed of being a race car driver. When his father tells him to he's either first or last, Ricky starts racing...

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby --- Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2007
The Bottom Line: Ricky Bobby was a really funny film that shows off some of the funny that Ferrell always brings. Recommended because of that, but not because of the plot.
Review: When you agree to sit down and watch a Will Ferrell vehicle, you know exactly what you are getting into each time. There are no real surprises when it comes to plot development of his comedies, and you can fully expect the same brand of humor each...

A Comedy That Deserves to Shoot to the #1 Spot

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: Surprisingly, "Talladega Nights" is a smart and very funny satire on biopics and racing fans. Credit Will Ferrell and an incredible supporting cast.
Review: I decided while watching "Walk the Line" that I was just plain tired of biopics. There's no doubt they are generally well acted, but when you get down to the meat and bones of it, many of them are the same because the people they are about suffered...

Talladega Night: Will Ferrell Delivers

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: By now we know what to expect from Ferrell: hilarity, good acting, and a movie worth watching time and time again. Talladega Nights does not disappoint.
Review: Will Ferrell does not disappoint his fans in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby".

By now, Ferrell's reputation as a Hollywood funnyman has been established. Viewers know whether or not they like his style of humor. If you're a...

Silly

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2007
Review: If you are looking for a creative and well developed comedy this movie is not for you. If you just want to sit back and laugh this is perfect. The story line and plot were very simple and really did not have a real capturing story. The acting by...

"Talladega Nights" - Speeds to the Winner's Circle!!

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this comedy because it is very funny. The whole cast was outstanding, especially Sacha Baron Cohen as Ricky Bobby's main rival Jean Girard. Entertaining story.
Review: I found this movie to be a very funny comedy. The cast was outstanding!! Will Ferrell was really good as race-car driver Ricky Bobby, who's motto was "If you're not first, you're last." His childhood buddy, Cal Naughton Jr. (played by John C...

Laugh Out Loud Funny

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: A solid comedy that left me smiling. A gentle poke at the culture of NASCAR and NASCAR culture.
Review: On a recent trip on Delta Airlines, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was the movie. What a treat it was to watch this at 30,000 feet!

Writing movie reviews is the most difficult of all the reviews. What can you say about why you...

Pass on it

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: Leave this one on the shelf
Review: I generally love Will Ferrell movies, so I was super excited to see this one when it came out on video. It was a little disappointing that this movie relied so much on what one might call 'bathroom humor.'
Although it had its funny moments,...
