October 2, 2009Utter crap. I'm very disappointed because I've been looking forward to seeing this for ages, I thought it was going to be as good as Anchorman. Alas, there is a huge ego here who, like his character, won't let anyone else have a go. You can tell most of it was (poorly) ad-libbed ...( read more)

July 18, 2009This is not funny, Ferrels worst by far. It may be because car racing just isn't a great source material for a comedy unless its a total spoof. Cohen is very good as the French racer, he really works well, but the rest is just silly and simply unfunny. The characters are rather u...( read more)

June 8, 2009I didn't get this movie at all. I seriously thought the humor was blah, not funny. Not even close to stupid funny. I don't know why everyone loves it so much. I have to admit I'm not a fan of Will Ferrell, but at least I can say he was funny in Step Brothers.

June 5, 2009"The story of a man who could only count to #1"
#1 NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby (Ferrell) stays atop the heap thanks to a pact with his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton, Jr. (Reilly). But when a French Formula One driver (Cohen), makes his way up the ladder, Ricky Bo...( read more) -
May 26, 2009Ricky Bobby: Here's the deal I'm the best there is. Plain and simple. I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.
On an initial viewing this movie is no Anchorman, but it's still pretty funny, with a lot of good lines and moments from the supporting characters that are unfor...( read more) -

October 23, 2009Really funny. I didn't expect to like it b/c it involved Nascar... but I was wrong. I'd like to ask baby Jesus' forgivness. Shake n' Bake, baby!

is the summer comedy winner that clocks more laughs per minute than any other! full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
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 satir... full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Talladega Nights may be brash, unbridled, even unhinged, but its cornpone humor is rich in parody, and its craftsmanship is superb. full review
August 4, 2006
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though the movie about a moronic NASCAR racer overall is uneven and Ricky Bobby's saga lacks focus, the stupid-comical banter and the lampooning of this particular brand of car racing proves entertain... full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The picture gets a bit long near the finish. But comedies live and die on the basis of their laugh quotient, and Talladega Nights gets its share. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The laughs come and go, but Ferrell makes NASCAR his bitch funny. Funnier. And more fun. And then the fun skids to a stop. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Talladega is the first comedy this year to make me laugh so hard I snorted. full review
August 3, 2006
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
As a cultural artifact, Talladega Nights is both completely phony and, therefore, utterly authentic. Or, to put it differently: this movie is the real thing.
August 3, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
While the film spins out from time to time in subplots highlighting the world-class supporting cast, it has enough momentum to finish in the winner's circle. full review
