I thought this was one of the best movies of the summer thus far!  Having NASCAR on board to help with the movie made all of the race and pit scenes legit, and did they look awesome!   With typical Will Ferrell funniness, it really made the movie work.  You should all see this movie. Very much worth it!

my brother and i went out of our way to never watch a single commercial for it, after seeing the first one in like, june.

it was funny i guess, in a really unintellignet manner, which is cool and shit...

but FUCK, the product placement (i know it's nascar, i dont give a fuck) made me feel like i should have been paid to watch it to have hundreds (literally) of corporation's logos thrown at my brain.

seriously, at first it was kind of funny... because it seemed like they were mocking nascar... but then you think about how much fucking money they're making off of those companies... and it made me actually want to leave the theatre...


that's what happens when you're anti-everything though, i guess.

most of the stuff from the commercials was different in the movie.

I thought it was really funny. The amount of ads in the movie was incredible and hilarious. Also the whole gay thing was hilarious too. There were about 200 rednecks in theater when I went and every time they kissed I thought half the people were gonna walk out of the theater. It was awesome.

shutup. You know you were laughing at his horrible fake accent and other stuff he said.

On another note I didn't even realize that was Ali G until I saw the credits.

Saw it last night, and yes it was pretty funny.

The real comedy from these movies in my eyes comes from obviously the improv, since almost all of it is....but the DVD is where these movies really shine....all the deleted scenes showing the string of different adlibs in a row are hilarious....think end of the movie when they were describing all the different jesus-variations.

good movie. i have to watch it again, just to figure out what song they use when (i think) ricky bobby is getting ready for the last race in the movie (or somewhere around there).  people were talking all around me so i couldn't really figure out what song it was, but all i know is i like it lol. that is, of course, unless someone can tell me where i would find a list of the songs that they use (i already searched for the soundtrack on google and i came up with shit all).  it's worth seeing again anyways.

it wasnt to bad but seriously movies now a days are soo terrible. to actually go to the movies pay 9 bucks and see a good movie is so rare. there hasnt been one good movie out pretty much all summer. and farrel, he was alright, i think ppl just laugh at w/e stupid shit he does period even if its not funny. hes the man no doubt but its getting out of hand with like these gay commercials for his movie and shit. but his funniest movie is old school
