I don't think that it's quite as funny as Anchorman, but it's definitely got a lot more bite. All kinds of fun satire that runs well beyond just NASCAR. Will Ferrell also creates a character that is far more interesting than anything he's done before, and is so devoted to the moment that he makes moments work that under less capable hands would have come off as cheesy. I'd say it's a bit of a step back from Anchorman overall, but it also adds a lot of legs to Ferrell's career. Hopefully he keeps doing these smart mainstream hybrid comedies.

The promo stuff that Riley and Ferrell did on Larry King Live was just awesome. They were in character the whole time talking to Larry King, and when Micheal Waltrip called in they repeatedly told him to "go to hell". It was awesome.
