Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
For those of you hoping that Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby serves up laughs more to the likes of Anchorman than Bewitched, then get ready for some great news.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby Screened
The website CinCity2000 claims to have an advanced review of the upcoming Will Ferrell comedy Talladega Nights. According to them, the film serves up a ton of laughs and features Ferrell back at doing what he does best -- adlibbing.
Talladega Nights takes the whole All-American-Dream concept and makes it funny. It’s Rudy with belly laughs. Better yet, it’s the Anchorman of car racing, which makes sense since McKay did that movie, too. A lot of the scenes felt improvised, but by seasoned professionals. And with a great cast that included Gary Cole and Amy Adams, the jokes were constant and seamless. From an extended dinner grace addressed to ‘tiny, baby, Christmas Jesus’ to Molly Shannon’s portrayal of the drunken wife of the team owner, the movie never failed to make you laugh. As an added bonus, this movie also has some great action. The race sequences were very believable and the crashes were amazing.
We have had the film pegged as a hit ever since the nifty Ferrell poster above. It also looks like Will Ferrell lost (or kept off) weight for this role; what that means exactly I do not know.
Though we wouldn't mind another trailer, you can get your fix of Talladega by heading over to CinCity2000.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby will be released to theatres on August 4th.
