#1 NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby stays atop the heap thanks to a pact with his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton, Jr.. But when a French Formula One driver, makes his way up the ladder, Ricky Bobby's talent and devotion are put to the test.
Rating:6/10 A decent movie that had a lot of hit and miss jokes. There were several times I found myself laughing out loud and then there were times I found myself scratching my head. The cast fit into their roles very well. Will Ferrell and John Reilly looked like they were having loads of fun with thier role and if you looked carefully during Ferrells dialogue, especially during the prayer, it looked as if Reilly was going to crack. The dinner table conversations and the prayer were extremely hilarious. NASCAR was treated with respect as well with the jokes and showed that they all can laugh at themselves. At times, the secens seemed to drag and really disrupted the flow of the movie. The racing scenes looked pretty well done and were pretty cool to watch. Overall this movie is alright, nothing special and nothing to really seperate itself fromt he rest of the pack. I thought it was kind of cool that NASCAR elements were used, but the movie would jsut drag on at times a little too much.
