Editorial Review: Product Description: Amateur stuntman Rod Kimble (ANDY SAMBERG) has a problem his step-father Frank (IAN MCSHANE) is a jerk. Frank picks on Rod tosses him around like a rag doll in their weekly sparring sessions and definitely doesn't respect him much less his stunts. But when Frank falls ill it's up to Rod to stage the jump of his life in order to save his step-father. The plan: Jump 15 buses raise the money for Frank's heart operation and then... kick his ass.System Requirements:Running Time: 87 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/SCHOOL DAYS Rating: PG-13 UPC: 097363379249 Manufacturer No: 337924 Amazon.com: After making a name for himself on SNL through a series of shorts, particularly viral video favorite "Lazy Sunday," the way was clear for Andy Samberg to segue to the big screen. Directed by SNL scribe Akiva Schaffer, Hot Rod proves his humor works best in small doses. Then again, producer Will Ferrell got his start in A Night at the Roxbury. In his first starring role, Samberg is amateur stuntman Rod Kimble. To raise money for his ailing stepfather, Frank (played with devilish glee by Deadwood's Ian McShane), Rod plans to jump 15 school buses on a moped. With support from his crew, which includes SNL's Bill Hader and Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers), Rod trains for the big event. All the while, Denise (Fisher) is seeing obnoxious attorney Jonathan (Will Arnett, Arrested Development). Lack of physical dexterity aside, Rod prevails through pure dogged determination. You've seen it before, and if you can't get enough of this sort of thing, you'll see it again. Hot Rod is the kind of slapdash comedy that neglects to provide its hero with an age, a job, or even a hometown. But don't count Samberg out. Given time, he may yet craft a persona that doesn't borrow so heavily from the man-boy antics associated with Ferrell and Adam Sandler. Still, Hot Rod would've worked better with the funnier, more sympathetic Jorma Taccone, who plays Rod's half-brother, in the lead--on the other hand, that's the same formula that made Napoleon Dynamite a hit. --Kathleen C.

![]() Rating: - Too Legit To Quit - The Story of a Stuntman2007 brought us a handful of new screwball comedies ( Superbad, Knocked Up, Blades of Glory, Walk Hard...and the list goes on and on ) in the same genre as HOT ROD, and for whatever reason HOT ROD fell off to the way-side. Starring the lovable Andy Samberg, adorable Jorma Taccone, Isla Fisher, Bill Hader annnndd Danny McBride. (Not to mention hilarious roles played by Will Arnett and Chris Parnell.)

This movie is really goofy, but I really liked it. I laughed the whole way through. Not sure if you'll like this or not? Check out some of the SNL Digital Shorts starring Andy Samberg. If you don't laugh, then pass. Favorite line: "You don't want none! I been drinking green tea all day! Rating: - not a good movie.......This movie was so stupid i couldn't stand to finish watching it. Don't waste your money.... Rating: - I don't know if it's incredibly funny or incredibly stupidThis movie is completely baffling, incredibly stupid, and side-splittingly hilarious at the same itme. Every stupid movie cliché is present (except the slow clap), and just when you get comfortable with the cinema norm, assuming and predicting the next scene, everything is flipped on its head, with all sorts of "Huh?"-moments throughout. To me it seems like a sequel to Napolean Dynamite (there's even a major character named Rico for goodness sakes!), with the same spastic action and filming ...
