Okay comedy with well done racing sequences.

Plot- 6/10 your standard sports movie but a comedy. It has enough funny moments to recommend and that is all that is required.

acting 6/10- Everyone is funny enough although Will Ferrell's accent gets annoying. And those punk kids just really bugged me.

look 8/10- The racing scenes are very well filmed actually with a good focus on them that works.

Recommend- I suppose to anyone who likes these comedies although it will not make anyone like Will Ferrell it might cause some to hate him.

Ricky Bobby is not a very compelling character

Will Ferrell these days revels in the kind of overdone comedic style that requires more manic energy than real humor; this film is no exception. It has its moments, mostly provided by the underrated Gary Cole, but many of its biggest jokes fail, particularly anything to do with its ethnic and homosexual villain, Sacha Baron Cohen. Final Grade: C+
