Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Not one of the better Frat Pack offerings.

IMDB Plot Synopsis #1 NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby stays atop the heap thanks to a pact with his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton, Jr. But when a French Formula One driver, makes his way up the ladder, Ricky Bobby's talent and devotion are put to the test.

Stupid but funny, although the humour was rather patchy because it would be hysterical in some parts but not so hot in others.

However, there was one part in the film that had me crying it was so funny, and I haven’t laughed that hard in ages (not counting you-know-which-part in World Trade Centre). When Cal was describing how he likes to picture Jesus and he said it was as the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd but with eagle wings I DIED. Instantaneous death. I was weeping. OMG. It was fucking hysterical, omg. LJ:OCIQAW:JILJDLS:KJ.

One thought on “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

  1. Have seen this some while ago and was struck by how weirdly Will Ferrell looks like Charlton Heston when shot from some angles…Otherwise I thought it was pretty lame.
