Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby / USA / 2006
A Northwest Airlines flight to the US yielded an unexpected trove of movies to watch on the back of the seat in front- there were some genuine classics on offer, including The Seven Year Itch, some interesting- looking 60’s Westerns and a number of enticing French and Indian movies. But who needs intellectual stimulation on a long haul flight? I went with the lowest-rent Hollywood crap available, as the night wore on and my brain gradually deteriorated.
I wasn’t expecting much from Talladega Nights, despite the fact that Will Ferrell might actually be one of the more reliable FratPack members (he’s not yet succumbed to the paycheck desperation of, say, Starsky And Hutch or Dodgeball). But the film surprised me- consistently funny, particularly in the scenes where Ferrell gets to improvise with his dependable costars: the family dinner scene is priceless (“dear 8 lb 6 oz baby Jesus…”).
