“I wanna go fast!” says Ferrell’s Ricky Bobby in an early scene of this redneck comedy. Then why does the pace feel so slow throughout? Quite ironic, considering it’s a film about Nascar racing. Still, despite being distinctly hit and miss, there are a few gems to behold in Talladega Nights. Sure, Bobby is no Ron Burgundy but he is at his funniest when interacting with the equally deranged characters surrounding him. Best of all is Jean Gerard, played outrageously by Sacha Baron Cohen, who sports the kind of French accent that would make Pepe Le Pew green with envy.
