[Red Cabbage]

I try to watch any and every car film but I'm not sure whether or not to give the rest of my sunday night over to this one.

It's alright!!

I don't think I've seen it all the way through yet, fell asleep both times!

I do remember there being a few funny moments, though!

[minimax]

shake and bake!

it's miles off anchorman in terms of ball-bouncingness, but it's still pretty funny... as the poll says, disengage brain and you'll enjoy

[Nobody You Know]

Yeah it's a good laugh, typical Will Ferrel humour and Jon C Reily is excellent in it as Cal Norton Jnr

Bit random in places but what the hell.

Also any engineer will appreciate the but were they are trying to get a knife out of Ricky's leg by jamming more implements in there, exactly how an engineer would think.

Shake & Bake!

[PhantomHumper]

No because The Departed is on ch4 at 10pm and you would miss the first 25 minutes.

Must see.


ETA: the channel

Loved the pre dinner speech and the "help me I'm on fire" scene had me in tears of laughter last time i saw it. Will try to watch if i can get SWMBO away from dancing on ice!

Absolute rubbish that I failed to reach the end of.

And I like Will Farrel...

[RDMcG]

About as funny as a barrel of dead babies. One of the most puerile, unfunny, forced,tedious,squirm inducing things I have ever seen despite a minor amount of rescue from Sacha Baron Cohen.

[spaximus]

It is a good enough film, plenty of laughs and worth watching for the Nascar engine noises

[David87]

I thought it was pretty funny. Well worth watching.

Sums it up nicely - and I didnt think Anchorman was 'all that'.

[Nobody You Know]

Just watching the bit with his first post race interview - Classic.

Absolutely!

My favourite 2 movies would be Pans Labrynth (sp) & The Diving Bell & The Butterfly, both supperbly scripted, directed & acted films, nothing wrong with abit of brainless humour though!!

Nope. My brain doesn't turn that far off.

If it's aimed at the average NASCAR fan, I suspect it's perfectly judged.

[Norbury90]

Its a dreadful film... but shake and bake!!

[Racingdude009]

Great veiwing reminds of a certain British GT Team

It's alright, not a patch on anchorman though. never understood the shake n bake reference, how is that relevant to NASCAR?

Departed approximately 100 times better though...
