Critic Reviews

William Arnold

It is Ferrell's best movie and the summer's funniest comedy so far. Read full review

Kyle Smith

For the first half-hour or so, this thing works like white lightning. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

The races are scorchingly shot, and they lend the movie a zest. Read full review

Dana Stevens

As a cultural artifact, Talladega Nights is both completely phony and, therefore, utterly authentic. Or, to put it differently: this movie is the real thing. It's finger lickin' good. It's eatin' good in the neighborhood. It's the King of Beers. It's Wonder Bread. Read full review

Noel Murray

When the crazy comes, it's pretty good crazy. Ferrell is in full-on brazen redneck mode, doing a variation on his "Saturday Night Live" George W. Bush impression. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

Ferrell's shtick never grows tiresome, because it's constantly changing. Read full review

Dan Jolin

On the Ferrellometer, Talladega Nights sits just above "Kicking & Screaming," when it should be redlining it up there with "Anchorman." Read full review

It's not an awesome movie, but it earned 10 for being so funny.

Whatever vague critiques there are here are just worthless. go see the movie. there's about 10 jokes per minute (taking conversational and character-based focus from the forty year old virgin) and extremely intelligent dialogue. priceless comedy.
