This has to be one of the worst movies ever made

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2006)

Absolutely terrible -- the dialouge seems totally ad-libbed (which may work for a show like Curb Your Enthusiasm), transitions between periods in Ricky Bobby's life are poorly done, and the acting is sub-par (I felt quite embarrassed for John C. Rielly). The humor was pretty subpar too and the Fench driver isn't so much funny as his speech is in-audible.
In all the movie felt like a bad Saturday Night Live skit that just wouldn't end. Don't get me wrong there were a few funny parts...but there was more silence in the theater than not. In fact had I not been there with a group of people I would have left after the first 20 minutes. It makes Gigli look like an Academy Award winning film -- it was just that terrible.
Now Will Ferrel really pulled this off with Anchor Man and in his various cameos in other movies (The Wedding Crashers) -- but it amazes me that this movie was even green lighted. Please don't go see this movie...it will hit the discount bin soon enough.
