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

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.

All I can say is Beer Fest & Super Troopers ! 
Come on, Ricky Bobby!

[blackcharger]

first red flag that it's gonna be a bad movie- Will Ferrel is in it

[69DodgeCharger]

C'mon.....It was Will Ferrell. What did you think it was gonna be?

I liked him on SNL and in bits parts in movies but he can't hold a full-length feature together... yet.

The Will that was in the "I need more cowbell" skit rise to stardom is long gone. The same lame character time and time and time again. Even Sandler got the message to lay off....after 40 movies or so.

Definitely agree with Mike on this one.  Talk about typecast....If Will doesn't break into something else very soon, he will be doomed.  Jim Carey even broke the mold and played some other characters on the more serious side.

In reality I think the success of 'Cowbell' was due more to Christopher Walken's presence in that skit rather than Ferrell's.

AAAAAA greed!

Chris is a God!   Sorry I forgot to consider that!   "I need more cowbell"

Agree 100%. I mentioned it as it was a Will film that was good. Probably his last good film. And he was quite annoying in it too.

He pulled it off with, "Stranger Than Fiction", IMO.

Of course Emma Thompson, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Tony Hale helped. 

As for Talladega Nights, I agree completely.

One word, five letters: Tripe.

[71ChallengeHer]

Thanks for warning me, I won't waste my time. I wished someone would have warned me about Wicker Man.

[68chrgrwife]

Hey now wicker man was ok...a little wierd, but ok.  I didn't really like Talledega Nights, but hubby saw it in Iraq and now is annoying us all with the whole---I WANNA GO FAST-- thing.  He even said that on a couple briefs over there when they asked if anyone had any questions he'd raise his hand and when they called on him he'd say I WANNA GO FAST.  After a while they would say anyone except Pauley have any questions..now that is funny.  He even got out of the humvee and started shouting and rolling on the ground (I'm on fire, help me tom cruise).  DUMB A$$.

   "Shake and Bake!"

  "Ricky Bobby is not a thinker. Ricky Bobby is a driver!"

   "Thank you little baby Jesus."   

       "I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey."

        There are . . . some . . . funny parts in that movie,

[Mike DC]

       
I saw Talladega Nights in the theater and thought it was actually pretty funny.  It grew on me a lot after a few minutes.
But then I saw it again on DVD and it didn't seem nearly as good as it did the first time.

Either way, it definitely funny IN SPITE OF Will Ferrell rather than because of him.  The biggest WF moments (like running around thinking he was on fire) didn't really work.

I watched it while trapped on a plane between Frankfurt and Dulles because I'd seen every other English language movie they had. The best I can say for it was that it didn't suck as much as I thought it would.
