A scene from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), the Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly comedy directed by Adam McKay, back in theaters for its 20th anniversary

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is back in theaters. Sony Pictures is rereleasing it for its 20th anniversary, through July 1.

Adam McKay directed it. Will Ferrell wrote it with him and stars as Ricky Bobby. John C. Reilly plays Cal Naughton Jr. Sacha Baron Cohen plays Jean Girard, the French Formula 1 rival. The film made $148 million domestic in 2006. There has never been a sequel.

Still funny. Still quotable. No new content, just the original film in a theater with other people who also know every line.

Before you go, watch Step Brothers. Same director. Same two leads. Same chaos.

One of the best sports comedies ever made is in theaters for exactly two more days. You already know all the words. Go say them out loud.
