This movie is great. It seems to be about racing, but is really about the U.S. arrogance in world affairs. It is a brilliant allegory. Amazing that not a single critic noticed the subtext....

The midnight show crowd I saw this with was roaring... There are enough hysterical individual gags to bind the film together.

There are enough hysterical individual gags to bind the film together. Of course, there are a couple of stretches toward the middle which aren't stellar, but Will Farrell is probably funnier than he's been since "Old School" and John C. Reilly is a perfect counterpart for him. Amy Adams is smokin' in her role (and absolutely dwarfs Leslie Bibb). Another note: the use of ACDC's "TNT" and Sepultura's "Desperate Cry [corrected!]" during the last race was absolutely dead on perfect. If you have any interest at all in NASCAR, you'll probably be in heaven. All I know is that I laughed my ass of for a good portion of this film (much like I did in "Clerks II") and it's just a damned good time. Not a classic, but you shouldn't be disappointed.

If they can get past the fact that NASCAR superstar Ricky Bobby's major adversary (Sasha Baron Cohen) is not only openly gay (and French!) but more fundamentally decent, admirable and honest than the hero, fundamentalist Christians may If they can get past the fact that NASCAR superstar Ricky Bobby's major adversary (Sasha Baron Cohen) is not only openly gay (and French!) but more fundamentally decent, admirable and honest than the hero, fundamentalist Christians may find this movie's wonderful family dinner scene astonishingly insightful and satirically on the nose. While saying grace, Ricky insists on praying not to either the crucified or the risen Jesus Christ, but to the baby in the manger. This makes sense from Ricky's point of view because he can therefore have it both ways: he can profess Christianity (and maybe even seem to believe it) without having to surrender himself to it; he can remain in control of his life and seemingly on top of the world because, after all, who takes orders from a little baby? Needless to say, Ricky's Number One position in the racing world takes a traumatic tumble as the movie follows a story arc that's surprisingly similar to that found in Rocky III: in order for the hero to return to the top he has to conquer his fears, and in fact the latter is far more important than the former. Although Talledega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby never quite tops the mealtime scene (easily the funniest sequence seen so far in ANY 2006 movie), and even though it's frequently as uneven and scattershot as you'd expect from the folks who brought you Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy two years ago, it's a far sharper, more consistently amusing and cohesive film comedy that DOESN'T simultaneously implode, fall apart and spin off in twelve different directions the way Will Ferrell's and Adam McKay's 2004 hit did. Great supporting players help, especially Gary Cole (The Brady Bunch Movie), who continues his late career as a comedy stealth weapon playing Ricky's emotionally-and-every-other-way deadbeat dad, Jane Lynch, who's delightful (and remarkably sexy) as his steely mom, and especially Amy Adams, who delivered last year's best performance--lead, supporting or otherwise--as Junebug's naive but wise pregnant lady, and so immerses herself in character here as a shy Team Bobby employee that I didn't even recognize her until the final 10 minutes! And if nothing else, Talledega Nights provides welcome reassurance for us John C. Reilly fans who sat through his 2002 Loser Trilogy (Chicago, The Good Girl, The Hours) that, as Ricky's best friend and less ostentatious fellow racer, that this fine actor can do other things besides threatening to become this decade's answer to Ralph Bellamy.… Expand

A Hilarious spoof on NASCAR, "Talladega Nights TBRB" might prove to be Adam Mckay's greatest, and most successful comedy film since his directional debut

I'm not a fan of Nascar or anything like that, but this was an entertaining movie.

It's not Will Ferrell's best movie nor is it a great comedy, but it's not bad at all.… Expand

When it comes to Will Ferrell, you stick him in any movie and I'm going to laugh my ass off. Even in his dramatic turn with Stranger Than Fiction, I laughed my ass off. I want to be Will Ferrell when I grow up.

Funny and surprising comedy and adventure races , either starring Mr. actor Will Ferrell , who surprised us with the role of the more optimistic and thug runner of the seventh art.

Talladega nights isn't the best Will Ferrell movie ever, but its a very good mix of humor. It's a nascar movie with Will Ferrell and another openly gay driver that's his archrival. With John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell in a movie togetherTalladega nights isn't the best Will Ferrell movie ever, but its a very good mix of humor. It's a nascar movie with Will Ferrell and another openly gay driver that's his archrival. With John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell in a movie together it's always a good movie. This movie could use some work though in comparison to Step Brothers this isn't the best movie because their isn't enough humor in the movie. Instead of it being really funny it gets really weird with Will Ferrell making out with Sacha Baron Cohen at the finish line of a very controversial finish to the race haha. So this movie gives me mixed signals at times but it's an ok movie to me. I'd give this movie a 7 out of 10.… Expand

I strongly recommend watching the original theatrical PG-13 version of Talladega Nights that doesn't have the gross unfunny scenes of the Unrated version. The PG-13 version of this movie is easily Will Ferrel's finest and funniest sportsI strongly recommend watching the original theatrical PG-13 version of Talladega Nights that doesn't have the gross unfunny scenes of the Unrated version. The PG-13 version of this movie is easily Will Ferrel's finest and funniest sports comedy ever made. It is full of brilliant and smart parody and satire of and about NASCAR, and a laugh riot to watch all the way through.… Expand

At what was the height of his career (despite him doing better after), Will Ferrell perfected his patented take on the legendary Saturday night live format: humor based on sketch comedy. Every moment is golden in this movie, able to keepAt what was the height of his career (despite him doing better after), Will Ferrell perfected his patented take on the legendary Saturday night live format: humor based on sketch comedy. Every moment is golden in this movie, able to keep viewers glued to their seats wondering what crazy antic will happen next. Despite its tongue-in-cheek, there is true American pride in this film. It even contains undeniable evidence of the American spirit in the form of a cast with Southern accents. The identity it portrays is still rather accurate, and that’s okay, because we are human with flaws and faults and a lot of beauty. The dad jokes, slapstick, farce and wordplay by themselves engender a smirk or two, but together result in a freight train of fun that makes “Talladega Nights: the Ballad of Ricky Bobby” a worthy evening’s entertainment, and one you can easily return to with close friends.… Expand

One of the few comedies that I consider perfect. Definitely is my type of humor with such stupidly hilarious jokes.
