“Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" Movie

Yesterday I saw the movie “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)”, which starred: Will Ferrell, David Koechner, Sacha Baron Cohen, John C. Reilly and Michael Clarke Duncan.

The storyline involved the following: “Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) is a NASCAR racing sensation whose "win at all costs" approach has made him a national hero. He and his loyal racing partner and childhood friend, Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly), are a fearless duo, thrilling their fans by finishing most races in the top spots - with Ricky Bobby always leading the pack. When a flamboyant French Formula One driver, Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen), challenges him for the supremacy of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby must face his own demons and fight for his place as racing's top driver.”

I give this movie a “C+”, and the movie was a crowd-pleaser, and it had its funny moments. It was hard to understand the movie, as it used plenty of shock comedy.
