Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

“First we shake and then we Bake”

Fun comedy movie. Not as funny as Step Brothers or Anchorman, but it's very funny. It gets caught up in a generic story for a lot of it's runtime, which drags it down a lot.

This movie has about the same IQ as the average southerner. Nearly every character is annoying. Some jokes were funny tho.

This movie looks like a two-hour improv. Super lazy and obviously unplanned. I rarely laughed.

About the life of race car driver Rocky Bobby, Talladega Nights is one of my favorite Will Ferrel and John C Reily comedy movies up there with Stepbrothers. Some may say its just a dumb southern comedy with a cliche plot but to me thats what helped made it be funny. What I've noticed from this movie is I think people are becoming more and more calloused to comdey blockbusters. Because nowadays from Superhero movies and political satires people expect there to be some kind of message behind the movie or for it to have a story. Comedy blockbusters like these are just supposed to make you laugh, hence why they are called a comedy. Usually comedy blockbusters are light on the story but heavy on the jokes because as I keep saying its a comdey. While yes I do get that some people have different tastes in funny, for the most part Superhero movies with their one liners and political satires with whatever message they have at the end are ruining peoples perception of comdey blockbusters. As for more of what I thought of the movie well as you can see off of my score I thought it was really funny. Its just something about Will Ferrel, how he just makes any comdey good. Along with also ood funny side characters and memorable scenes in this movie. Overall a Will Ferrel and John C Reily classic and one that in all honesty, you should only see if you have a real sense of humor and not just like dumb meme or nonexistent humor. Basically if your a cultured person or your at least 25 and up.
