Will Ferrell. Cowbell Guy
I'll have to see it myself.
I can't stand Ferrell's squealing screams in the commercial he did for that movie. I sure wouldn't waste the money on a ticket to go see it.
So it's OK to describe any criticism that you don't agree with as a rant?
I know a lot of Christians, and I don't know any who pray to a baby Jesus.
What is the draw for this flick?
Which reminds me, Hollywood must crap itself in delight every time another NASCAR movie comes along. How else could they have an excuse to fill up two-thirds of the screen with a car hood bearing the Wonder Bread logo and slap product endorsements all over their actors? Talladega Nights is incontrovertible proof that the studios have all the integrity of a Bangkok streetwalker while the 7th Fleet’s in town. This isn’t a movie, it’s an infomercial, and one with an honest-to-god Applebee’s commercial that airs during the movie itself. Looks like Sony has finally figured out how to circumvent all that criticism about ads playing before the movie; simply play them after it’s started

Reilly used to wonder why anyone would watch cars race in a circle, but now he said he knows "there's so much more going on than that."

DOHHH!!!!
The only good movies that Ferrell has been in were the Austin Powers films. Everything else stunk up the theater.
'"Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" is "a racist, bigoted work that ridicules the Bible Belt, Southern white men, Christianity, Jesus Christ, the family, and American masculinity'
That's true but we can take it. Movie should definitely be rated R. DO NOT take your kids to see this. Bizare gay warning!
I've only seen the previews, but at the very least it seems insulting to a large part of the U.S. population. OTOH, I've seen a number of previews for movies made by black people that insult black people. I guess it's okay if one does it to one's own - as long as they at least look alike.
Did anybody hear that Will Ferrell was fixing to do a NASCAR movie and seriously expect serious uplift from the result? I know I didn't.
This movie co-stars Leslie Bibb. It is, therefore, a legitimate work of art and should be praised to the skies. :-)
I had never heard of it, but ended up taking my 15 yo grandson this weekend. It was too much even for him - but more for the gay characters/kissing in it.
Calm down folks. It's just another retarded Ferrell flick.
Wow. What a great impersonation of a whining liberal with a persecution complex.
Most comedy is based on stereotypes. Who cares.
I won't be seeing it.
I can't stand Will Ferrell.
Who was that fat 'comedian' that did nothing but scream. He's dead now.
Similar style . ugh
It did make $47 million in its opening weekend.

I saw it and it has a few uncomfortable moments for Christians. The name Jesus was thrown about quite, no vulger language at all, but some of the references were a bit uncomfortable.
