L.A. Weekly -
Not just the funniest but the smartest comedy around by a mile.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
The races are scorchingly shot, and they lend the movie a zest.
|
|
New York Daily News -
Reilly can play nuts, too, and in a lower gear that reins Ferrell in. They're a great team.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
From its pitch-perfect title through just about every detail, this sendup of sports-triumph movies maintains the right parodic pitch, if not always the highest mph on the laugh speedometer.

Variety -
Simultaneously teasing and loving a subject doesn't make for easy comedy, but writer-star Will Ferrell and director/co-writer Adam McKay pull it off with good-ol'-boy good nature in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
