Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ***
(Second Viewing)

NASCAR stock car racing sensation Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) is a national hero because of his "win at all costs" approach. He and his loyal racing partner, childhood friend Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly), are a fearless duo -- "Shake" and "Bake" by their fans for their ability to finish so many races in the #1 and #2 positions, with Cal always in second place. When flamboyant French Formula One driver Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) challenges "Shake" and "Bake" for the supremacy of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby must face his own demons and fight Girard for the right to be known as racing's top driver.

About as good, if not better than Anchorman. Right now it's too tough for me to call and I'd say to see Anchorman before I could be positive, but they're both good nonetheless. Will Ferrell and John C. Reily worked well together as Shake and Bake! However, I would have liked to see more of David Koechner in this film. Probably one of the easist movies to quote in recent memory.

"I'm Ricky Bobby, and if you don't chew Big Red, then f*ck you"
