"The next Anchorman this movie is not."

Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2006)

I expected Talladega Nights to be the next Anchorman. Starring both Will Farrell and Sacha Cohen, I prepared myself for a hell of a laugh. However, in retrospect, I think my high expectations for this movie left me slightly disappointed in the end.
The next Anchorman this movie is not. Even though this movie is full of its own laughs, it just never quite achieved the same comedic status as its predecessor. But enough comparisons. In its own right, Talladega Nights is a thoroughly enjoyable comedy that's certainly one of Farrell's better roles. Just don't go in expecting too much, or you might walk away feeling cheated.
