Let me begin by saying that I don’t blame Will Ferrell. One minute he was a nobody, the next a comedic breakout. If I were in that same position I would have probably signed up for “Kicking & Screaming” and “Bewitched” too. That doesn’t, however, excuse him from appearing in shitty movies for the rest of his career, so it’s a pleasure to see him finally getting back on track. His newest film, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” is a comedy about a NASCAR superstar whose position in the sport is challenged when a French newcomer arrives. The first trailer just hit the Internets late tonight, so be sure to check it out here.
A quick note: While the trailer doesn’t make any mention of this, Ferrell is teammates with another driver played by John C. McGinley. The driving duo also go by the nicknames “Thunder” and “Lightning.” If that’s not enough to make you want to see this film, the trailer certainly will.
