Well, unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Will Ferrell plays the main character, Ricky Bobby. His best friend is played by one of the best character actors, John C. Reilly, Cal Naughton, Jr. They both make a great team and even have a nickname for their dynamic duo: "Shake and Bake." The name is hilarious and is screamed constantly throughout the movie in different variations of the phrase. Reilly is dubbed "Shake" and Ferrell is the "Bake" part of the phrase. It gets better!
The movie begins with Ferrell's mother and father played by Jane Lynch (40-Year-Old Virgin) and Gary Cole (Office Space), respectively as she is about to give birth to Ricky Bobby. The movie explains that Reese Bobby (Cole) is out "race car driving" and Ricky is left to grow up, essentially, without a father. The next few scenes are of Ricky growing up which are in the movie basically to show his love of driving. Ricky's father finally shows up many years later during his Career Day at school, much to Ricky's surprise.
