Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, as NASCAR-champion best buddies, are the most hilarious on-screen duo this year, and when you add Sacha Baron Cohen (TV's Ali G) as a gay, French Formula One archrival, you have a blue-state/red-state clash that somehow manages to be whip-smart satire and low-brow goofiness all at once. Among a host of top-notch improv scenes, we are also "treated to the riotous, almost David Lynchian moment in which Ferrell runs around a motorway in his undies screaming that he's on fire. He's not. Actually, come to think of it: He is." (Boston Globe) "Will Ferrell does chicken-fried comedy right: with crackpot discipline and stripped-to-the-beer-belly courage."
