Jeez! I guess I didn't think 'Talladega Nights' could be so bad.

[bull]

At the recommendation of my brother-in-law to my wife, and against my better judgement (the things you do for love), I rented Talladega Nights and watched it last night. All I can say is, wow! What a major waste of celluloid. For the past seven years my number one worst film of all time was 'Battlefield Earth' but it's now officially at number two.

My wife fell asleep, and she's the one that wanted to watch it. Seriously, I'd almost rather get my teeth drilled than see it again. The entire point of it could have been summed up in less than 30 minutes. And talk about stupid tangents? That's almost all it amounted to. I wonder if there was even a script or if the whole thing was ad-libbed. To say it's pathetic would be an understatement.

If you haven't seen it I highly recommend you see something better such as 'Ishtar' or "The Spice Girls.'

I knew I hadn't seen that for a reason.

[bull]

One other thing. They actually wrecked a classic Chevelle for this movie.Yea, I'm glad it wasn't a Mopar but I wouldn't have wasted a Ford Taurus on this movie.

[69bronzeT5]

I like that movie

[bordin34]

It was OK the actual movie was kinda bad but the funny parts were very funny. Like when he stabbed himself with the knife and the ways they got it out.

[TruckDriver]

I never really thought Will Farell was funny to begin with. The comercials for that movie made my skin crawl

That's true. I have to admit the contents of some of the tangents were funny (like several SNL skits put together) but overall it was a waste IMO.

I agree, I thought that movie was a stinker as well. I did like him in Old School, Wedding Crashers and Anchorman.

His new movie looked piss poor to me, we are going to wait for the DVD on that one.

I'd agree with you 100% Bull - this movie sucked!

Now Ishtar - c'mon Bull!

The race car was auctioned off on ebay. All it needed was a chevy engine to make the thing road legal!

On my suggestion then, don't watch Nacho Libre or Glitter, you might just want to jump off a bridge.  I'm a huge movie collector and I actually threw Nacho Libre in the trash at my buddies house after I made him watch it and said I don't ever want to see this disc again.   

Ok , now it's a running joke and pops up in my house every now and then just to pi## me off.  Bast@#! kept it and now it haunts me.

Why is it that all of Will Ferro's movies have to put some kind of Homosexual thing into it. It's almost Nauseating. Scratch that....it was Nauseating!

I agree, That movie truely did suck.

[jackel440]

The first time i watched it i thought it was a waste.but since i bought the dvd I am stuck with it.took it out to the garage and played it on the tv out there over and over and now i laugh at it.I know i'm supposed to be workn in the garage and not watchn movies

"if it got in your head,I spread my butt cheeks as Mike Honcho for playgirl magazine" "I just wanted you to know that"
Shake and Bake!!!!

[The70RT]

I watched it as soon as it showed at the movies. What a fricking waste. Two guys running down the track thats about as idiotic as the kissing thing. ANYONE could make a movie compared to that joke.

[Neal_J]

Well, I guess I'm the lone voice, but I thought it was funny.  Although it didn't exactly "piss excellence" as a film, it was amusing.

I can't drive by an Applebee's without chunking now.

Peace,

My wife rented it a month ago. Two hours of my life I'll never get back. The only thing worse than a Will Ferrell movie is an Adam Sandler movie.

[Silver R/T]

it wasn't that bad, seen much worse

[70kracken]

i thought it was hella funny, redneck humor is the best.  i laugh through the whole thing.  almost pissed my self the first time i watched it.

[BrianShaughnessy]

   It's not the greatest move ever made by far... but it was a lot better the 2nd time watching in my friend's garage on dvd with some friends and a few beers.    The 1st time at the drive-in with the old lady was OK at best.   
   A few totally unecessary female nudity scenes would have helped my appreciation of the movie a great deal

The movie has tons of funny parts, but the borak french guy sort of ruined it, will farrel's nemesis should have been the guy from the dukes movie who drove the black mustang for "the drive for five", that guy was funny, "hey bo bo,"  heh,   if he was the guy going against will farrel in taladega, that movie would have been way better.

[mikepmcs]

Good observation Seattle and I agree with you, that character really bothered me.

God, that movie SUCKED!!!  The "trailer" was funnier than the movie. And did anyone notice a lot of the scenes in the "trailer" were not in the movie!

2 Hours of my life wasted again.

[ck1]

I wont ever rent or see a movie with Will Farell,  the only thing he is got going for him is that he just looks silly and thats it, so unless you like looking at a silly person for about 2 hours in a movie hes just a big waste period!

[The70RT]

I think the results are in.........IT SUCKED!
