Q & A: Talladega Nights the Ballad of Ricky Bobby tells the story of Ricky Bobby, a NASCAR stock car driver. He is the number one racer in NASCAR and is part of dream driving team with his pal, Cal Naughton, Jr. The two have known each other from childhood and are known as “Shake ‘N Bake” because they finish every race in first and second, with Cal always coming second. Everything is going great for Ricky Bobby until Formula One driver, Jean Girard, comes into the picture. Jean Girard is Ricky Bobby’s biggest competition and quickly becomes NASCAR’s best and tries to ruin Ricky Bobby’s whole life. Ricky Bobby must now fight for his title as NASCAR’s best driver and maintain his personal life. I wanted to see this movie while it was in theaters, but I unfortunately couldn’t. I had to wait until it came out on DVD and I watched it with my family. I was interested in this film for two reasons. The first reason was because it was about NASCAR and what NASCAR fan wouldn’t want to see this movie, and secondly, I really love comedies and the movie looked like it would be funny. The movie being funny and about NASCAR is what made me love this movie. I would recommend this movie to somebody else even if that person doesn’t like NASCAR because Talladega Nights is still a funny movie. Although, if the person doesn’t like NASCAR some humor may be lost in translation to that person but nevertheless, Talladega Nights, very funny still.
