It will "Shake and Bake" your funny bone

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2006)

If you are 1. A fan of Nascar 2. A fan of Will Ferrel 3. Just looking for a good comedy
Then this movie is for you. I am indeed a fan of NASACAR and Will Ferrel and loved Anchorman... but Talledega Nights was much more funny. This is one high budget comedy because most of the crash scenes (if not all of them) in the film are real cars that they crashed. Th acting is very good for a comedy... because of the good supporting cast. It is all too obvious Will Ferrel nailed the southern accent while so called "Ali G" nailed the french one. There's another thing... who would think of a Gay French NASACAR champion in a movie? The script writers who are the same as Anchorman. You can tell by the title. "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" and similar... "Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby." This is by-far one of the best... if not he best comedy to date. The only thing holding this movie from my 10 rating is that Steve Carrel (The Office) (40 year old Virgin) (Little Miss Sunshine) turned down a role due to scheduling conflicts. But I must say that I know the role he would've played. That geeky pit crew member that no one likes. You know they faked his death... I can just tell, or is it just me. Trust me... this would not surprise me if it got a W in the Oscars. Once again... It Will Shake and Bake your funny bone!
