Funny

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2013)

I am finally getting around to watching some of the old Will Ferrell movies that I missed in my high school and college years, and for movie #1 for me in this series, I was not disappointed. Ricky Bobby and all of his cohorts were very funny, especially his youngest red-headed boy. I wonder if the movie could as funny if it were a little less crude? I don't know, just a thought, and maybe the crudeness actually helps sales and likability of the movie; it's just an idea/thought.
It is hard to explain, but how they captured and capitalized on the satire of the south (and this coming from someone born and raised in the south) was just hilarious; each of the characters, their attitudes, their accents, everything. Definitely a funny, brain-dead movie.
