I was disappointed by it. There were some very good laughs, but they spent far too much screen time on the actual races, which just weren't funny. The sponsor stuff also fell flat. Some bad casting too - Michael Duncan Clarke isn't cut out for comedy, I have never found Jack McBrayer funny, and Amy Adams was criminally underused. And judging from the outtakes and the trailers I've seen on TV, they appear to have deleted some of the funniest scenes.
