Just stupid!

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 2006)

It looked like they went out and filmed a bunch of scenes, then pieced them together with a blender. It's almost as though they couldn't decide on a theme, so they threw in subplots about the kids going from hateful to heavenly, a pit crew which included some kind of naive (gay?) guy, the wife, the assistant, the sponsors, the owners, etc. etc. And what was all that about Halliburton being a sponsor? There was obviously lots of ad-libbing going on, and as haphazardly strung together as it was, it just wasn't a funny story - at best, there were only a few somewhat funny moments, but most attempts just fell flat. The French guy was doing a bad Inspector Clouseau imitation! And once again, Will Ferrell apparently feeling like he has to kiss some guy on the mouth to seem funny. Overall, it was just a dumb film!
