Sweet baby Jesus, we thank you for blessing Will Ferrell and Adam McKay with the talent to create a NASCAR comedy as hilarious as Talladega Nights. The so-called "Ballad of Ricky Bobby" is hardly flawless in fact it's not always firing on all cylinders but with comedy star Ferrell and director McKay still hot from the success of their previous comedy hit Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, most of this 108-minute spoof of oval-track racing is so knee-slappin' funny that you can't help but surrender to the stupidity.

Obviously, Ferrell's the shining star, and his portrayal of lead-footed pit-crew-member-turned-#1 NASCAR champion Ricky "I Wanna Go Fast" Bobby (how can you not love that name?) is spot-on perfect, righteously spoofing the entirety of NASCAR culture without insulting its oft-ridiculed roots in redneck bootlegging of a bygone era. You could even argue that Talladega Nights is truer to NASCAR than Tom Cruise's Days of Thunder, and it's certainly more entertaining, especially when you add John C. Reilly as Ricky's life-long pal, teammate, and eventual rival Cal Naughton, Jr. (together they're nicknamed "Shake 'n Bake"), and Sacha Baron Cohen (from Da Ali G Show and Borat) as gay French "Formula Un" driver-turned NASCAR rival Jean Girrard, to a stellar cast including Molly Shannon, Greg Germann, Amy Adams and Michael Clarke Duncan.
Sure, it's mostly a showcase for Ferrell's loud, over-the-top antics and nonsensical non sequiturs (like cameo appearances by Elvis Costello and Mos Def), but with Ferrell behind the wheel, Talladega Nights rolls into victory lane with fuel to spare, and there's one final bit of comedy (with a tip of the hat to William Faulkner) for those who sit through the credits. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Watch out for foul language! I specifically got the PG-13 version thinking that it would be appropriate for my 13 yr. old nephew. Boy was I wrong!! While I, as an adult, love Will Farrell and his movies, the language on this one is horrible. The 2 sons in the movies are terrible and their language is even worse!! I would hate to think what the unrated version is like. Be warned, for an adult it's funny, for anyone under 18, I would steer clear!
Not the movie that was in theaters......
I loved this when I saw it in the theater. These two versions were recut, for some unknown reason, and are pale in conparison. Yes, it's still funny, but the editing was better on the big screen.
<
>The director's commentary is stupid and worthless. I usually like them because they give the viewer insights to how they filmed it and their take on it[for an A+example, see MIAMI VICE,just incredible, the commentary is better than the movie!!]. This comentary is a weak attempt at comedy.
Unrated
It is a questionable practice for a producer to make all his protagonists completely unsympathetic. Characters ranged from driven by lust and gluttony to selfishly using others to gain quick wealth (greed and vanity). Even though the plot allows the possibility of a character arc and redemption, the main protagonist barely takes advantage of it. I initially preferred to give this zero stars, but on further consideration I think one star is justified: this movie proves to me that Sacha Baron Cohen cannot act, so I saved myself from seeing Borat. On the other hand, I give this three stars for Boring and five stars for Stupid, giving it an overall rating of four stars on my BS scale.
