Save me Tom Cruise!

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 2006)

If you have seen any previous film starring Will Ferrell and enjoyed yourself immensely you will no doubt feel the same about Talladega Nights.
Be in no doubt that this is Will Ferrell's movie. He occupies nearly every scene and absolutely steals the show. Although saying that,he is helped by a fine supporting cast. John C. Reily is always a pleasure to watch. Gary Cole is superbly cold hearted as Ricky Bobby's father, and i never knew Michael Clarke Duncan was such a good comic actor.
The actual plot does not matter too much as you are really just waiting for the next comedic set piece.
In a year so far, of fairly uninspiring and unfunny movies save for maybe Superman, Pirates and Snakes, Will Ferrell has come along and tickled our funny bone yet again.
