With all of the hype surrounding this movie, I thought it was going to be funnier. I think I felt the same way the first time I saw Anchorman, but that movie became funnier the more I watched it. Maybe that’s how this film will be if I watch it again. In general, Will Ferrell is funny as he plays the NASCAR racer Ricky Bobby. Gary Cole plays Ricky’s father in the movie, but I can’t picture him as anyone else but Bill Lumbergh ;-)
Rating: ***
