I loved it...

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2007)

I watched this movie the first time alone. My opinion of it at that time was that it was just OK. However, the following weekend I watched it again, this time with my kids because I knew they would love it, my son 15 and my daughter 14 next month and my parents. We laughed so hard at this movie. Some of the dialog is just priceless. The kids, Walker and Texas Ranger. Yes they had foul mouths but they but they learn something by the end of the film. But what made it so funny was not only the fact that what they were saying was priceless but that Ricky Bobby and their mother had no problem with it. They encouraged it so the kids didn't know they were bad. They just didn't know any different until Grandma shows up. The baby Jesus grace, the "Help me Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft on me to get the fire off me!" It's that kind of crazy talk that runs from the beginning to end of this movie.
What makes this movie so funny is the dialog. It was refreshing and it would seem that the actors were given a lot of room to try different takes on what to say as shown by all the special features. I am not going to say that this is the funniest movie of all time. But, if you're in a good mood and just want to laugh a bit you will probably enjoy this film a great deal. My parents who don't find Will Ferrell all that amusing couldn't help but be amused at his performance in this film as much as I was. Simply put it's just a fun movie.
