"Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby"

 Yes, I am one of the few people who never saw this before tonight.  It's a mystery to me because I am a big fan of Will Ferrell. So, there's nothing much to say about it except it is a pretty good movie. Goofy and irreverent and profane and in some strange way quite lovely. It is both smart and stupid. Go figure.

Added bonus: lots of songs (in the background) by Steve Earle, one of my favorite songwriters and singers.  Plus the movie has a small role for Amy Adams, a good part for Sacha Baron Cohen and a large part for John C. Reilly.  And many others. It's on Netflix, free!  If you haven't seen it, pour yourself a big glass of some adult beverage, figure that close to two hours of your time will be consumed by idiocy and comedy and Will Ferrell-ness.  Just do it.
