Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

The script by Ferrell and director Adam McKay, a parody of sports biopics, takes the same freewheeling approach that served them well on Anchorman, but with a more mean-spirited edge.

Will Ferrell and director/writing collaborator Adam McKay have carved out a comfortable comic niche in taking confidently clueless oafs and pulling the rug out from under the core of resolutely prototypical alpha male existence.

Check your brain at the box-office to enjoy this brand of politically-incorrect hilarity poking fun mostly at gays, women and the French, all aimed at a redneck crowd with an average I.Q. of about 75.

In Talladega, Mr. Ferrell finds his best role to date.

Riddled with blatant product placement. Blades of Glory is better. Ferrell can't save this one. Sacha adds little.

The disappointment of this movie is not that we don't see enough of Will Ferrell. It's disappointing because what we do see, we've seen before, and better.

It's not that ethnic and cultural stereotyping can't be funny -- Lord knows the laugh industry would be nothing without them -- it's just that movies like this one keep punching the same buttons over and over again.

The white-trash, child-neglect, feel-good NASCAR comedy of the year (the one without the talking cars).

Ferrell e seus parceiros se mostram sempre dispostos a estender uma cena até que ela eventualmente se torne engraçada %u2013 e, por incrível que pareça, esta tática funciona com freqüência.

A film that will keep you laughing from beginning to end (including the credits), "Talladega Nights" is the most fun you can have this summer at 200 miles per hour!

Silly, but entertaining comedy about a dim-witted race car driver and his dysfunctional family and friends.

...It's hard not to be amused by the scene-stealing supporting cast.

Broad but not crude, dumb but not witless, clever but still snot-spittingly funny. Stupidly brilliant, in other words.

Some of the jokes here are funny. Most are not, while the characters are simply too silly to make us give two hoots about them. Worse, the movie collapses under the weight of a ton of syrup in the second half.

Anchorman director Adam McKay has assembled a terrific cast and his hilarious script (co-written with Ferrell) ensures that each of the characters has their own funny moment.

An inane parody of a triumphalist celebration of all-American sporting heroism.
