I found this movie just average, nothing spectacular. Will Ferrell as always has acted very well and Sacha Baron Cohen (famed from the movie BORAT and the Ali G show) is fantastic as the gay French driver, Jean Girard.
The story line was pretty ordinary. That was the most disappointing aspect of the movie.
So Will Ferrell’s father loves fast cars and once on parent career day he tells Will’s class that he believes if you are not first, you’re last and then leaves for good. Will takes this very seriously and wants to make his father proud and so when he is given a chance he comes a NASCAR race driver. He starts winning and soon becomes the number one NASCAR driver. All this gets to his head and stops caring about how his friends around him feel.
As it always happens, he gets a new competitor, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Will loses to Sacha and meets with an accident on the race track. He is now in the hospital and his wife leaves him and he goes and lives with his mother along with his children. He starts working as a Pizza delivery guy.
Just when he is down and out his dad pays him a surprise visit and promises to help him get back in the game.
Can Will get back or is he a lost cause? Well you can find out when you watch this on DVD 
.
My 2.5 out of 5 stars for this one since the movie has a fair share of funny moments.
