The best laughs are in the trailers.

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2006)

Seriously, some of the jokes in the trailers do not appear in the film. I still enjoyed it but the early hype had this as more than it turned out to be. Ferrell is his funny self, but much of the film is a long SNL skit. A bit of the warmth and the over the top silliness that Ferrell fans watch him for, and a total waste of John C. Reilly's talents. It probably would have been funnier if they had left the French race car driver as a total villainous stereotype rather than showing bits of good character and reasonableness. An good video rental when the time comes, but there are better comedies to see in the theatre right now.
