{movie} talladega nights: the ballad of ricky bobby (2006)

Lifelong friends and national idols Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) and Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly) have earned their NASCAR stripes with their uncanny knack of finishing races in the first and second slots, respectively. But when rival French driver Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) coasts onto the track to challenge the duo, they'll have to floor it to retain their status as top dogs.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** This was surprisingly enjoyable. I'm not a big fan of Will Ferrell and this certainly didn't win him any points with me, but the rest of the cast, especially Sacha Baron Cohen as the hilariously gay, French driver Jean Girard, helped the movie. I was shocked that I enjoyed it as much as I did as I don't really like Ferrell and hate NASCAR.
