Talledega Nights

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2006)

In this great new comedy, Will Ferrell(Anchorman, Zoolander) plays Ricky Bobby, a dumb redneck with ambitions to be a racing driver. This is a dream which he eventually fulfills and he becomes the best NASCAR driver in America. With his must win attitude and the help of his childhood friend, Cal Naughton Jnr. (played by John Reilly, Chicago) he rises to the top. But then when all seems perfect, French Formula 1 driver ,Jean Girrard(Sacha Baron Cohen, Ali G, Borat) comes along with his hysterically funny French accent, to try and steal Ricky Bobby's crown. This film was pure brilliance. Though more likely to appeal to the younger generation, it is still a movie to be seen. So if you don't go and see it or at least rent it, then you have missed out on seeing a brilliant film that had me in hysterics like few others ever have. Definitely one for fans of Dodgeball or Anchorman. Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen are hilarious and the latter's French accent is funny enough to rival Inspector Clueso's and that policeman in Allo Allo. Brilliant film, you must see it!!!!!
