Hilarious and Better than Expected!

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2012)

When Talladega Nights first came out back in 2006, I was not a Will Ferrell fan and I thought this movie looked incredibly stupid. But since then, I have gradually warmed up into liking the movies of Will Ferrell. I'm glad I did, because this is one hilarious movie I should have seen back then.
This is about a NASCAR driver named Ricky Bobby who always comes in first place. But when the French racer, Jean Girard shows up to take the throne away from Ricky, things go downhill for Ricky. It's up to him to revive his life and career.
I thought Will Ferrell and John C.Reilly had great chemistry together also evidently shown in Step Brothers. Ricky's parents played by Jane Lynch and Gary Cole are also wonderfully great. However, Sacha Baren Cohen stole the show. I really could not stop laughing when he was on screen.
Overall, this is a really enjoyable comedy. It's not the best comedy in the world, but it is good enough nonetheless. I rate this movie 8/10.
