Talledega Nights
February 14th, 2007 by Jennine
Shake and Bake! What a movie, surprisingly I absolutely loved it. As a few people know I’m not a big Will Ferrell fan but the movie Talledega Nights has erased all doubts of his comedic ability
It features his character as a high profile racing car driver with his best mate (John C Reilly) also a driver. Together they are unbeatable and are often 1, 2 on the leader board until the French driver, (Sacha Cohen Baron) comes along and threatens the title.
There are many scenes with blatant product placement, but the way it is done keeps the laughs coming. It plays on stereotypes, all tongue in cheek, such as rednecks, racing drivers and the French.
The two kids, Texas and Walker Ranger, are adorable little brats with a bad attitude. The youngest one is hilarious especially when threatening Grand dad, it’s a case of you know it’s wrong to laugh but it’s just so funny.
Definitely not a film you would like the kids to see as it will teach bad habits but if you don’t want to think then this is a movie for you. A lot of laughs, few morals and sayings to live by.
