beyond hilarious

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2006)

As a big fan of will Farrell's work (anchorman, old school), I knew as soon as I walked in the cinema, I was gonna laugh my head off, and thats just what I did.
As a child Ricky Bobby(will Ferrell)wants to go fast, as a teenager his father visits his school stoned and delivers a special speech which Ricky bobby bases his life on the philosophy his father delivers after being kicked out of a high school"if you ain't 1st your last", from that point the story leaps into Ricky bobby's adulthood and he works for the pit crew of the worst NASCAR racing squadron, the fat driver of that crumby team stops in the middle of the race to eat so Ricky bobby takes over as race car driver and grinds down the field to come third, Ricky bobby and lifelong best friend cal naughton Jr (John c Reilly) are on top of the world, cal then gets inducted into the racing team as the teams 2nd driver, the story does a quick summary of Ricky Bobby's life for a few years, in that time he picks up a gold digging trophy wife, and has two children named walker and Texas ranger.
Things seam to be going great for Rickky Bobby until a French driver defects to NASCAR (sascha Baron Cohen) seems be beating him on and off the track. After a nasty crash he losses his ability to drive and has to get his career back on track.
Like most of Adam Mckay's work almost all the script is improvised, and it works. Although Will Farell is the star he gets most of the funny lines, but the real stars of the show are his children, just the stuff they say and do left me in stitches.The children in a particular part of the film they ran around screaming anarchy , grabbed a hose and sprayed water through a window and at random recipient.
This is easily the most funniest movie of the year, go and see it as soon as you can, a must for all SNL fans and NASCAR fans alike.
