Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Posted at 9:04 am on Monday, November 19, 2007, in Film Retrospective.

Will Ferrell excels in stoner movies. Unfortunately, I wasn’t stoned when I watched this. There are funny parts, but stoner movies assume the viewer is still laughing from a joke five minutes ago, so only every five minutes are pretty good. The rest is junk. This is not nearly as good as any of Ferrell’s other movies. And I think John C. Reilly is overrated as a comedic actor.
