I love this movie so much

How sad is this?

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

While shopping at my local Best Buy, I saw a copy of Hit and Run sitting on the shelf and I just decided to give it a try. I had nothing to lose and nothing to really fear. I figured it would be a light comedy with a lot of action to hold my attention for a good 90 minutes. I came home, pressed play, and watched it. I don't really know how I feel about it. Its not a bad movie, per se. I certainly didn't have a bad time. I was just puzzled at what I had just watched. Its a gooey rom-com with a few intense car chase sequences, peppered with raunchy dialog. Just... so weird! I'll give credit to Dax Shepard for making a totally original slant on an otherwise overdone plot line. But then, once you get past the plot, it gets weirder. The acting, for the most part, is decent. But sometimes, it gets downright terrible. Take for instance, Tom Arnold. He literally shouts his entire dialog and spends most of the movie running wildly around screen with a gun in his hand. Why? I have no idea. Were they going for absurdist humor with that character? or was Tom Arnold just coked up? Whatever the reason, I grew to hate his character... a lot. Then, literally, for no reason whatsoever, we get two scenes involving the main characters stumbling into an elderly orgy. What on god's green earth was that all about? Its as if the movie was spliced together with outtakes from a Sacha Baron Cohen movie, and they figured it would be so shocking, that it just had to be in the movie for a good laugh. It just sat there, dead on screen, in its wrinkly birthday suit. I didn't laugh. Alright, enough with the questions. Lets get down to business. I thought the movie potentially worked and I did laugh more times than I ever thought I would. There is some really funny stuff in here, and its worth checking out to catch them all. I liked Dax Shepard, considering that he was channeling an Owen Wilson type performance. Kristen Bell is always a pleasure to watch watch on screen. We also get a delightfully bizarre performance from Bradley Cooper that entertained me a whole lot. Especially the scene at the supermarket... what an absolutely fantastic scene that was. All in all, Hit and Run is hit and miss, and definitely surreal at times. But not a bad outing at the movies.

Hit & Run is such a gem of a low budget fun thrill ride that it is inspiring to watch. The film has high production values and a couple of well known actors in Bradley Cooper and Tom Arnold. There's also place for some great minor supporting roles, greatly played. Like David Koechner as the gas station dude Sanders, and Jadon Bateman (As Keith Yert) and Beau abridges (as father Clint Perrkins).The film is about a guy, Yul Perrkins, named after Yul Brunner, having picked the name Chales Bronson. He is under witness protection, but is forced to get out of his hiding due to driving his girlfriend in his rare Lincoln to her new dream job in L.A. They are troubled by her ex-boyfriend, which is stalking him, and is ready to out him to the gangster boss Alex Dimitri, which is the reason he is under witness protection. Then the troubled road is set.The film is what I would sort under road movie comedy, and has got some great driving scenes in beautiful scenery, and some car chases and burn outs in classic cars. It's a fun film, though not a laugh-out-loud movie, but still it has some real funny episodes. Most of them around the quite nervous and definitely unsafe US Marshall Randy, played by Tom Arnold. It's quite impressive that the film is made on such a low budget. Obviously inspired by Tarantino, which shows on the many small and sometimes longer dialogs which is about different boring everyday stuff, not really concerning th film's progression, but which adds character. This is film makers having a good portion of fun, and that shows. Kudos to all involved. This is better than its rating so far.

Dax Shepard is former getaway driver Charlie Bronson in Witness Protection. However, he leaves it all to help his girlfriend (Kristen Bell) get to Los Angeles. This leaves the feds and Charlie's former gang in hot pursuit.The plot is almost unimportant. It's just an excuse for Dax to have some fun with his car. Dax and Kristen seem to have a lot of fun. That chemistry saves this mess. Tom Arnold is incredibly annoying. There's also Michael Rosenbaum and Bradley Cooper plus many many other characters.There was one funny scene of hilarious talk of prison rape worthy of a Tarantino script. Other than that, you'd have to really love cars or Dax driving the cars.

If not for the (judicious use of) vehicles, watch it for the great cast, mostly witty humour and the soundtrack. Tom Arnold is, as always, a perfect slapstick distraction, and the car is as hot as the girl.Dax has got his finger on the pulse with this cool throwback to the classic cool-guy-with-the-car movie. Funny with great filming and incredible (CG not required) stunts.The dialogue keeps you entertained. There is some hilarity.. and as far as characters, this film has got them all. The cool dude, the cute girl, the jerk, the comic, the villain, the ex, the ultra cool Beau Bridges. The car chases are as cool as the tunes that accompany them, and the sound FX are spot on.If I did have to pose one question, it would only be about the abilities of other less than competent drivers to be able to keep up with the 'professional' driver..I recommend it often.
