Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby


Not as funny as Anchorman but still chock full of laughs. Really enjoyed Will Ferrell's sincerity as the Nascar racer who falls on hard times basically due to the plot needing him to fall on hard times so we can get some hard laughs. This is one of the flaws of the film. Basically since it's Ricky vs the world we lose some of the opportunities to see him go off on a single foil. That said it still made me laugh. Especially with Ricky's prayers to Baby Jesus. The product placement in the film is right in step with Nascar's product whoring. Not sure if this is the film Nascar expected to see when they agreed to help with its production.
