Will Ferrell was funny?

Rating: 7/10 (23 August 2006)

After Anchorman and Elf, I didn't know if I could ever enjoy Will Ferrell, although half my friends did. But after Talledega Nights, I decided Will Ferrell is not an actor. Will Ferrell is a writer and actor.
The lines in this movie were great, although turning Ricky Bobby's father into a drug addict was unnecessary. The best writing, of course, was Ricky Bobby's, played by Will Ferrell. The other actors were a little dry, although I did enjoy the performance of Cal, the French driver whose name escapes me, and Texas Ranger.
The music and special effects in this movie were definitely not fantastic, but that's not the goal of this movie.
Overall, this has given me hope for Ferrell. I'm definitely seeing Stranger than Fiction...
