The first "actually funny" Will Ferrell movie ...

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2008)

I still can't believe how "laugh out loud" funny this movie was given that it had Will Ferrell in it. His movies are usually just excessively goofy and not much else - but not here. This movie was great - one terrific gag after another. I was very impressed.
The movie is about the rapid rise, fall and comeback attempt of a quirky, redneck-like car driver "Ricky Bobby".
To pull of the gags, the acting had to be near perfect - and it was. Will Ferrell, John Reilly (co-driver) and Sacha Baron Cohen (Ferrell's nemesis in the movie) pull of terrific performances.
This is a bright, somewhat innocent, fast-paced movie. Everyone should be able to find something to laugh about all the way through to the credits. Highly recommended.
