Overview

The fastest man on four wheels, Ricky Bobby is one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. A big, hairy American winning machine, Ricky has everything a dimwitted daredevil could want, a luxurious mansion, a smokin' hot wife and all the fast food he can eat. But Ricky's turbo-charged lifestyle hits an unexpected speed bump when he's bested by flamboyant Euro-idiot Jean Girard and reduced to a fear-ridden wreck.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gonzo comedy about a NASCAR driver's spectacular fall from grace and unlikely redemption, stuffed with quotable absurdity and performed with gleeful commitment to its own ridiculousness. It's anarchic, warm-hearted, and relentlessly silly.
