Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

2006

Lifelong friends and national idols Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) and Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly) have earned their NASCAR stripes with their uncanny knack of finishing races in the first and second slots, respectively. But when rival French driver Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) coasts onto the track to challenge the duo, they'll have to floor it to retain their status as top dogs.

User Reviews

  • Not as good as Anchorman, but still a worthy entry into the Will Ferrell 'Mediocre American Man Trilogy". Cohen shines as the Frenchy F1 antagonist.
