Too much of everything

It is a performances centric movie

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I love NASCAR, so ever since I found this movie in one of my dad's moving boxes, I've been watching it every year. You don't even have to know anything about NASCAR to watch. Hilarious and entertaining. Never gets old.I I (--)

Will Ferrell's worst movie he has ever made. Comedic timing is awful, almost as much as the plot as the movie. You keep hoping he dies throughout the movie, but are disappointed when he lives. All the movie is about them making fun of southern people and NASCAR fans. All it is basically is portraying southerners as unintelligent morons, and the vast majority of the jokes revolve around that.

A jarringly unfunny film that shames all of the great Hollywood comedies.The acting,script,and everything else is terrible. A send-up of red-neck habits and a whole roster of unfathomable American cultural in-jokes that fails to amuse on any level.Will Farrell is obviously an acquired taste and he and the film strain at being funny and it shows. The lines are delivered so clunkyly badly and with no pace that it is as though the actors aren't reacting to each other.All the French stuff is of course insulting and of course he's gay and has a husband.let's all laugh at the funny French man! Quite who it is aimed at I don't know but obviously not my age group(over 60).

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby has to be one of the stupidest so-called comedies it has ever been my displeasure to watch. I don't like Will Farrell in the first place, but I like NASCAR even less, so when I saw that the film was supposedly a parody of NASCAR, I just had to watch. The trouble is, the movie is not funny; it is simply stupid. The scenes that the writers tried to make comical were not because those scenes reminded me of real people that I know who would actually try the scene in real life. No kidding, I know some NASCAR fanatics who would not only identify with the character Ricky Bobby, but would actually love to be him. Don't waste your time watching this sad, stupid movie.
