It was with a great deal of trepidation that I went to see this, a feeling exacerbated by a series of amazingly unfunny trailers of upcoming comedies that ran before the feature came on. What a great deal of pleasure it was, then, to find myself thoroughly enjoying the entire film, smiling throughour, and laughing out loud many times. The film is a gentle satire of the NASCAR world, in much the same way as the "Waiting for Guffman', "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind" films are about those particular cultures. Will Ferrell stars and he is really hilarious. The supporting cast, even nthose with minor parts are also excellent and funny. I highly recommend this one.

the gay bashing and "baby Jesus" talk? Any reason why the gay Frenchman came across as a continental Seinfeld impersonator?
It was OK on a different level than I expected with some well written dialogue but they made those guys so stupid it was painful to experience. I expected a slapstick movie with crazy things - similar to Airplane - happening but it was slow instead and had a crash to comeback theme that tried my patience. His kids were terrible and their comments were not funny to me, they just rang a little too true for comedy.I do not mean to sound so negative but tread carefully...
