Will Ferrell takes on the racing cricuit and the result is marvellous fun, especially when Ferrel flies off into those wonderful and weird turns. Sacha Cohen also impresses as his French rival (guess we can have gay villains again - though he's not really a villain) - actually the whole cast is good.
Now and then the film seemed to jar - John C Reilly seemed to take over Ferrell's life a bit quickly, and I didn't believe Ferrell would be a pit mechanic without having thought of being a racing car driver. Funniest bits for me were one offs: the names of the kids (who incidentally have a few too many lines), Ferrell's birth, the cougar.
