RIP Will Ferrell's Career

Rating: 1/10 (25 September 2006)

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Will Ferrell John C Reilly & Sacha Baron Cohen
I am willing to accept that at some point in his career Will Ferrell was actually indeed a funny man. However, after watching Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby I can shake the nagging suspicion that Ferrell's career is in the process of being flushed out to sea, if not vanity why else would the star of the movie also be the writer and executive producer that ended up being an insult to my intelligence especially considering the movie seemed to have more plot holes then an old pair of underwear which I will not even bother going into. Now I still have two questions that I at the very least need to ask about this tragic excuse of a comedy why was this ever given an international release outside of America and more importantly why was Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby even given funding in the first place. It is my firm belief that Will Ferrell has proved that he has no business on a movie set and that Director Andy McKay needs to go back to film school.
Remember Ricky Bobby maybe a driver but the writing team for this movie does not know their ass from their elbow.
