Ever see the movie Talladega nights? If not, I’ll give you a brief summary of it. Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) was born to go fast, and is raised solely by his strict Christian mother, Lucy (Jane Lynch), while his drunk and alcoholic father, Reese (Gary Cole), is absent. When Ricky was only ten years old, Reese shows up during Career Day at Ricky's school, but after giving his vulgar speech, Reese was thrown out of the school. Before leaving, Reese told Ricky: "If you ain't first, you're last!", a quote that Ricky commits to memory. Fifteen years later, while working on the pit crew of Dennit Racing driver Terry Cheveaux (Adam McKay), Ricky replaces him and ends up finishing in third place, despite starting mid-race in last place. Ricky quickly soars to the top of NASCAR, achieving fame and fortune at Dennit Racing and meeting his future wife, Carly (Leslie Bibb). In the movie Will Ferrell is the main character and plays the role of a big superstar who started off in the pits and worked his way to the top in the movie. Reese was barely in the movie except for in a couple scenes, towards the end he starts to be more a part of the family but still ends up leaving because he freaks out to many times. Terry, the person that started Ricky’s career in NASCAR. He was the captain of the team and he helped Ricky through some of the tough times he had in the movie. I would have to agree with William Arnold in his review for the movie. He says that it’s the funniest movie Will has made since “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”. I would recommend this movie because its outrageously funny is suitable for teenagers and adults.
