This movie gets the checkered flag!

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2006)

Will Ferrell as Ricky Bobby is sensational! He gives a superb, laugh out loud performance! It's good to see an esteemed and highly regarded actor such as John C. Reilly loosen up and play a dim witted teammate of Bobby's - Cal Naughton Jr. Every actor in the movie brought their A-game in their performances, even Bobby's kids (Walker and Texas Ranger, that's too funny!).
I think the only discrepancy was there wasn't enough cameos from real NASCAR drivers in the movie (there were only two - Dale Earnhardt Jr and Jamie McMurray) and me being a huge NASCAR fan, I think the more the merrier. Days Of Thunder had more cameos and that movie was average at best, so I'm not getting that.
Still, this movie should bode well with the NASCAR community.
