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

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The races are scorchingly shot, and they lend the movie a zest.

New York Daily News - Jack Mathews
Reilly can play nuts, too, and in a lower gear that reins Ferrell in. They're a great team.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden
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 - Robert Koehler
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.
