Awesome Movie
This movie is awesome. NASCAR and racing in general is cool. I love the race with Jamie McMurray (The guy who gets the finger from Ricky Bobby). It shows the classic drive-in-reverse-and-still-win-for-some-reason thing. I don't like the French guy though. How can someone enter NASCAR mid-season and become wildly popular all of a sudden? And how does he get the points lead so fast? Oh well, just enjoy the kick butt racing action.

Ferrell comedy is OK
All of my friends think this movie is one of the best of all time. "Anchorman," "Other Guys," and "Elf" were all way better than this, though this does beat "Semi-Pro." There aren't any hilarious jokes, but there is alot of funny stuff spread throughout. Maybe I would get it better if I was a racing fan!

Funny for fans of NASCAR and People that aren't fans of NASCAR (like myself)
It's pretty funny, except it has a lot of issues. The end is really good. I love Sacha Baron Cohen (he's in it near the end) and I also love Will Ferrel. Overall, watch it as an adult, but prescreen for your kids.

Not funny, or necessarily good.
It wasn't funny, and it was surprisingly boring. Only a few parts made me look up from what I was doing and giggle a little. I wouldn't HAVE to see it again. Pretty bad, too. Two young children are calling their parents swears and are extremely rude and talk about sex.

This is one of my favorites!
This movie kicks a--. There is a lot of crude humor, gay and lesbian jokes, some sex, jokes on Jesus, some race jokes (reffers to the French as gay), but all of the movie is hilarious. If you were to watch it, watch it unrated. There is also a commercial for tampons in the movie, which may raise some questions...

Totally hilarious and outrageous!!!
My rating: PG-13 for crude innuendo, comic sports violence, language and some drug references.

BWAHAHA
This movie's a classic. Totally poking fun at the NASCAR community/rednecks, but all in good fun. There are some "swear words" but nothing you wouldn't hear at the friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart. Some sexual content may concern some mothers, may excite some sons. ;) Excellent movie all in all

Yeah... it did actually deserve 4 stars. But still very raunchy.
Parents: This is one of those very funny, pretty good, (I give it BARELY 4 stars, a 3.5 really) but VERY hard PG-13 movies. It was genuine, well acted and casted, and very funny, but not consistent in its humor. I was bored for a couple stretches. It's worth renting. But like I said, a STRONG PG-13. I notice CSM forgot to include Ricky Bobby's stupid and unfaithful but sexy wife flashing him at least twice, including one other flash given by another girl. Of course, none of these flashes are seen, even in the Unrated version. But it's still suggestive and it is a running joke how the stupid men in this movie can't resist these girls when they do that. Much sexual innudendo and some heavy kissing also. Violence: not a big issue. Car crashes. The main thing is Ricky stabbing his leg with a knife, but it is non-bloody. Language: Sh*t is CONSTANT. REALLT CONSTANT. Pushes the envelope. And of cours many of words, including 3 uses of f*ck. This may be only in the unrated version, but two of those f-bombs WEREN'T bleeped out. LOTS of commercialism. But it's funny. I'd say fine for 14 and up, but remember the messages this movie sends. It is heavy on stereotypes and a running joke is how dumb almost ALL of the characters in this movie are. Some demeaning messages about winners and losers as well. It's funny, but don't forget what your kid is watching.

Good Movie Not For Younger Kids
I like this movie. It's humor is inapropriate at times but mature kids can handle it. There is language but I've heard it before and any kid 11-12 has too. There are many references to drugs, but I don't think there is very much violence.

Parents don't be fooled. Talladega Nights has a lot of raunchy humor
Well first the sexual content is a big issue. The only reason why people say the film doesn't have sexual content as a big issue is because younger children didn't get it. There is jokes about gays, having sex, sleeping together, and more raunchy material for a PG-13. The profanity in here is a big problem. Almost every second there is a kid or adult swearing. Now the biggest issue is the social behavior. Kids talking to grandpa's tell them to shut up, be quiet, that he's an idiot. It's not good.

Funny Movie most 12 year olds can handle
Well, I defintley think this movie is OFF for any one younger than twelve because of this movie's raunch. Than again it is not as raunchy as Blades of Glory or Zoolander (those two are also great movies) The most freqeunt word is sh**, (even 10 and 8 year olds say it in this film) one bleeped f-bomb, and a lot of sexual innuendo, but over all 12+.
