From a very young age, Ricky Bobby was
obsessed with speed. As a mild-mannered member of a Nascar pit crew, he gets
designated to replace the driver, who no longer seems to care to do his job. As
he shoots to fame, with his best bud Cal Naughton Jr, Ricky’s ego grows by
leaps and bounds. When Jean Girard, an openly gay French Formula One driver
decides to move over to Nascar to challenge Ricky, the American champion’s life
spirals out of control.
Watching this again, recently, I was shocked
to see how I seemed to remember it more fondly than I should have. Sure, there
was some funny stuff here, but there were also some weak attempts at comedy. Still,
Ferrell and Reilly had a great chemistry on screen and it helped bring this car
to the finish line well enough for it to still be an entertaining time of
movie-watching.
