I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Crappy film
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I have watched this movie over a dozen times now and i can't get enough of it. sure the jokes can be silly at times but this movie will keep you in non-stop laughter! The lonely islands Akiva Schaffer directs while Jorma Taccone and Andy Samberg star, this dream trio completely perfects the movie. Bill Hader and Danny Mcbride are also excellent, sometimes pulling off the most ridiculous jokes. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone with a sense of humor. 10/10
First of all, this movie is one of my favorite comedies and is absolutely hilarious from start to finish.I just finished a book which has changed the way I view movies and read literature through the eyes of an English professor. This movie was my first victim. Does Rod Kimble represent a Christ Figure? Absolutely. And here's a list of everything I noticed throughout the film. Rod is in the right age bracket (around 23). He has disciples, 3 and then 4 of them. One of these disciples eventually betrays Rod (half brother) when he makes the film. He performs miracles (sort of...stunts). He runs off into the "wilderness" at one point of despair. He is constantly trying to live up to his father. He really has no father (dead dad). His love interest is a red head (Mary Magdalene). In the end he prepares to make the "ultimate sacrifice" for his father which ultimately inspires hope in all the crowd. To top that off he actually dies during the final stunt (lying in a spread eagle cross shape) and gets resurrected!! When he beats his dad up at the end he makes him tell us "you're a man" in the ultimate statement of is he a god or man.Did the writer intend this? I dunno. Maybe. Wh cares? But it's there.Go check it out. You'll never look at the Gospel of Hot Rod the same way again.
One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Everyone needs to see this atleast once in there life. If you can't laugh at all you have no soul.
Hot Rod is a good movie with a well written storyline and a fantastic comedic cast. It is a very fun movie that you will likely enjoy from start to finish, it's a very simple story, it's obviously nothing inspirational or uplifting, but it's just a very enjoyable comedy. The main thing that makes this movie so good is the ridiculous dialogue between the characters and of course the great chemistry between cast members, many of them come from Saturday Night Live and you can tell they are close. My favourite scenes are the ones between Andy Samberg and Isla Fisher, their chemistry was pure and the relationship between the characters definitely had me in stitches the most. It's certainly nowhere near perfect, but Hot Rod is a very quick and very fun movie that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good comedy. A would-be daredevil motorcycle stunt rider tries to raise funds for his stepfather to receive an operation.Best Performance: Andy Samberg Worst Performance: Sissy Spacek
