Ricky Bobby is a national hero with a 'smokin'; hot' trophy wife, pair of borderline-abusively precocious sons. His racing partner and lifelong friend Cal Naughton, Jr., never fails to provide him with a hand on the racetrack, frequently performing their trademark 'slingshot' maneuver to shoot Ricky into first place, leaving Cal in second. When flamboyant French Formula One driver Jean Girard challenges 'Shake' and 'Bake' for the supremacy of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby must face his own demons and fight Girard for the right to be known as racing';s top driver.
CRITICS OF "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby"
Ebert & Roeper
One of the stupidest and one of the funniest movies in Will Ferrell's career.

Sacramento News & Review
The script by Ferrell and director Adam McKay, a parody of sports biopics, takes the same freewheeling approach that served them well on Anchorman, but with a more mean-spirited edge.

You pretty much have to like Will Ferrell to like Talladega Nights, it's his film through and through. But if you do, you're in for a ride.
The movie takes a piecemeal approach that allows for several guffaw-inducing comic bits, but doesn't hold together enough for a sustained comic experience.
Essentially a string of gags loosely looped together, a set of absurd situations for the actors to clown their way through, Talladega Nights is an affable entertainment, both a celebration and a satire of lowbrow pleasures.
