A Laugh out loud good time!!

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2006)

As a Will Ferrell fan AND a true NASCAR fan for over 15 year, I was very excited when I heard about the making of this film.
It has been a good long time since husband and I have seen a movie in the theater. It seems that every time we go to see one, it's a bomb, so we have been waiting for everything to come out on DVD or a cable movie channel... Not this one. We even recorded the Brickyard race to go see this one in the theater, and we were not disappointed...FINALLY!! Will Ferrell is great as Ricky Bobby, the racer with "two first names" ;) The movie is quick to start and easy to follow. The scene of saying grace at the table is hilarious, but I think the two sons are what make the scene. Their quick-popping' responses to Grandpa are awesome, and had us both laughing out loud. The NASCAR scenes are typical of racing movies, you know, the kind of moves are made that would NEVER happen at 200mph on the track, but still fun to watch. I was delightfully surprised to see all the cameo's by the real commentators and drivers that we watch every weekend.
All in all, another great movie from Ferrell. It is very enjoyable and I will look for it on DVD so I can watch it again. I would highly recommends this to anyone in the mood for a good laugh.
