The Bottom Line: If you are a NASCAR fan, and enjoy your humorous flicks, you will definitely like this one.

Review: So I can’t call myself a NASCAR fan – I know two drivers: Dale Junior and Danica Patrick, and the latter is not even in NASCAR. But I have had the experience of passing out near (read ‘in’) a puddle of urine in the Daytona 500 infield, ...

Pros: It will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

Cons: none

Review: This movie starts out fast and doesn't slow down til the end. Ricky Bobby is on a winning streak in nascar. He has a beautiful wife and two kids. He had everything a person could want until he loses to Jean Girard. Then everything falls apart. He loses ...

Pros: extremely funny, Ferrell brings it to the table again, many memorable moments

Cons: typical Ferrell fair: high on humor, low on plot

The Bottom Line: Ricky Bobby was a really funny film that shows off some of the funny that Ferrell always brings. Recommended because of that, but not because of the plot.

Review: Will Ferrell's fearlessness and admirable embrace of absurdity has made him a star, even as an inverse effect could be attributed to the success of Saturday Night Live. Between stealing O ld School as ...

Pros: Will Ferrell and this outstanding cast; Sacha Baron Cohen was hilarious; Amy Adams' inspirational speech

Cons: I can't really think of any, perhaps there weren't any

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this comedy because it is very funny. The whole cast was outstanding, especially Sacha Baron Cohen as Ricky Bobby's main rival Jean Girard. Entertaining story.

Review: I found this movie to be a very funny comedy. The cast was outstanding!! Will Ferrell was really good as race-car driver Ricky Bobby, who's motto was "If you're not first, you're last." His childhood buddy, Cal Naughton Jr. (played by John C. Reilly) ...

Pros: Will Ferrel, Jane Lynch, John C Reilly, NASCAR send up, laugh out loud humor

Cons: Some may not enjoy the pratfalls and silliness

The Bottom Line: A solid comedy that left me smiling. A gentle poke at the culture of NASCAR and NASCAR culture.

Pros: A bit of humor for everyone no matter what your taste

Cons: I could do without seeing a not in shape guy in his underwear

Review: Even if you're feeling sad when you begin watching this movie, you will not be able to contain your laughter for too long. The movie was hilarious; it's not humorous in 100% of the movie scenes, but most of the movie was very funny. Race car fans would ...

Pros: Riotously funny, great one-liners, cast really delivers.

Cons: Gratuitous cussing, not suitable for families.

Review: The plot is your basic hero rising form nothing to win, lose and then win again. Nothing special about the plot at all, but that's not why we go see Will Ferrell or Dumb and Dumber or National Lampoon etc.. There are about three thousand riotous one ...
