Will Ferrell has his share of loony films. Many of them border on absurdity — though still teeter back towards the line of clever rather than ludicrous. Talladega Nights is one of those films. There’s everything one would want in a ‘stupid’ movie — including romance, action, non-stop laughs, and immense improvisational ability. The dynamic between Ferrell’s character and rival Jean Girard (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) is brilliant.
