“Itu0026#39;s a pretty funny movie. You could tell Will Ferrell and Sacha Cohen (aka Ali G) and John C. Reilly all had the opportunity to improvise lines and riff on one another, and all three were pretty good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRicky Bobbyu0026#39;s kids were given some choice lines and nailed home some great (albeit loud and aggro) deliveries. Amy Adams is totally hot. The dad role was well-played. The car action was money and you couldnu0026#39;t quite tell when it was CG and when it was recreated action, so that was good. They did it right.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe overabundance of seeded advertising was acknowledged in the filmu0026#39;s dialogue and concretely addressed at the end of the movie (when Ricky Bobby goes sponsorless0 but it was still kind of annoying. I just canu0026#39;t understand how Hollywood blockbusters need more money. They could do the same movie without the extra $$ I think, but in this particular movie, set as it is with NASCAR, it certainly fits in the world we see on screen if there is rampant, colorful advertising.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo itu0026#39;s a good movie, a lot of gut laughs, and not unlike Dodgeball or Anchorman or the like…”
