Hilarious, definitely worth seeing

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2006)

Talladega Nights was a very surprising film, surprising in that it was much more funny, and much smarter than i had expected.
Will Farrell and Adam McKay combine for another original comedy, the two also wrote Anchorman. Farrell plays Ricky Bobby, born in the back of a speeding car and lives on the creed: "If your not first... your last." John C. Reilly plays Bobby's life-long best friend, Cal Naughton Jr.
Ricky takes the wheel after the driver of the car that he is a member of the pit crew for takes a siesta during the race, and the rest is racing history.
All in all, i found Talladega Nights to be a hilarious, well written comedy that brings out the best in Will Farrell. However, Farrell is complimented well by yet another outstanding supporting role by John C. Reilly. Despite the great acting both Farrell and Reilly put out, Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G.) stole the film, in my mind at least. His hilarious portrayal of French driver Jean Girard had me laughing even after the movie was over.
If your looking for a great comedy, i certainly recommend Talladega Nights.
