seboltmanns I really enjoyed this movie. I laughed a lot, I smiled and even felt excited and sad at some points. It really delivered feelings.The humour in this movie was amazing. It was not full of the flat jokes you often see in American comedies, but even made fun of itself I felt.Sambergs acting was not outstanding but perfectly fine, same holds for the other actors. Whom I didn't like much was Isla Fisher as Denise since she did not had many different aspects, maybe that was caused by the role. Who I loved was Ian McShane, who fit his role perfect. Overall acting in this movie was fine. The movie really benefits from its short running time. There are only few really drawn out scenes but due to this fact they gain importancy and mark the movie in a nice way. The movie is super straight forward without different action strands and it works out really good.Only thing it really lacks is storywise.

Un Zievereir Akiva Schaffer's delivery of Pam Brady's excellent simple script is exactly what is needed. Whilst Sandler, Apatow/Rogen et al peddle tired formulas, and Hollywood pushes regurgitated pulp speckled with gross, drug induced or sexually explicit moments, film makers like Schaffer actually make these formulas work. With all the ingredients of an assembly line crass top ten American comedy, and a leaf from Jared Hess's book, it is successfully very funny.Akiva is not a one trick pony either. His excellent 'Popstar' film is probably more sophisticated as well as being a parody, but is also a first class example of the "I'm with stupid" style American humour. Admittedly, his other movie 'The Watch' did not deliver as much (Rogen's script) despite having a first class cast. Schaffer shows he's an excellent comedy film maker and I hope he doesn't fall down the same rabbit hole / eternal loop as Sandler did after his golden period.Andy Samberg is enjoyable as always, and the supporting characters and cast are fantastic. Also noticeable is the unbelievable soundtrack featuring excerpts from Europe's 'Final Countdown' album.Samberg and Schaffer with a great script and cast.

wrighcha The movie "Hot Rod" is a great movie for stupid thrill seekers. The movie depicts a 20 something stunt man who loves what he does and would not give it up for anything. He has a crew of his brother, two friends and his childhood crush he is not over yet. His stunts do not end up well but they do make for great laughs. That's why this movie is a funny action packed movie that you should go see. He gains popularity amongst his town when his step father needs a heart transplant and he decides to raise money for "one big jump". He goes around the town doing birthday parties and stunts to raise money, they all turn out to be total failures but that does not stop Rod from doing everything he can to help his step dad. Although some older people could look at this movie and not see any point in this film but those people don't know true humor. If you really want a good laugh this movie is for you. I have showed this to numerous people and it is all laughs from them. And one of the best parts of this show is that it combines visual comedy and dialogue to form amazing jokes and failures of the team. Andy Samberg portrays Rod Kimble and is genius in acting out his character, all in all the actors really work together. Some people might think that this was a pointless movie because of the stupidity but if you truly appreciate comedy then this is the movie for you. I would give this movie a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Troy Putland If you're not a fan of silly jokes, then this isn't for you. And I'm not talking Adam Sandler's silly, one-dimensional garbage, I'm talking so silly it's almost clever. Will Ferrell was suppose to take the lead role of the high-flying, amateur stuntman, instead the task goes to Andy Samberg, who's decent enough, if not a little unimaginative. Alongside on-screen brother Jorman Taccone and friends Bill Hader and Danny McBride, there's fun to be had, but not enough to propel the story. Some moments outdo others, mainly the ones involving the unwell Ian McShane, whom Samberg is trying to raise money for. They fight and they squabble, and Samberg's only doing this good deed so he can finally beat up his step-dad. Hot Rod is mildly funny, somewhat enjoyable, doing little harm in the process.
