Title: When will Ferrell make a funny movie?
Review: Dear Lord baby Jesus, sitting there in your crib watching your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learning about shapes and colors, will you please grant us a funny movie starring Will Ferrell?Will Ferrell is one funny guy, and it shows during parts of Talladega Nights...unfortunately, all that is funny also appeared in the movie's trailer. Beyond the trailer, there was very little to laugh about. This seems to be a trend for Ferrell, with Anchorman and Kicking & Screaming turning out similarly. Talladega Nights seemed like a SNL skit that dragged on a little too long, with no logical conclusion. The concept is great, who doesn't want to laugh at NASCAR. The sport practically makes fun of itself, and Ferrell's Ricky Bobby is just the type of character we can laugh at. All is needed is a few more jokes and a solid story to tie it all together...that's where Talladega falls flat.
Is the review positive or negative?
