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. Fennessy

Hilarious movie - can't believe I hadn't heard about it! In the same league as Old School, 40 Year Old Virgin, etc...

I waited longer than the allotted time and when I received the DVD it didn't play. Not on my 2 DVD players and not on my 2 laptops.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's so ridiculous that it's hilarious. Andy Samberg is awesome on SNL and I'd say if you like what he does on there, you'll love this too. One movie that came to my mind when I saw this was Napoleon Dynamite except this one is funny. I can watch this repeatedly and still laugh every time. I highly recommend this to any comedy fan.

The order was exactly the way I'd expected it and I'm very happy with it.

In the same vein as `Napoleon Dynamite' and, well, just about every Will Ferrell (or Adam Sandler or Jack Black) movie out there, `Hot Rod' is a mash up of funny, awkward and absurd. Unlike those Ferrell movies (or at least most of the Ferrell movies), `Hot Rod' doesn't all come together. It has its moments; and when it is funny it is REALLY funny; but those moments are far and few in between.
This is kind of sad, because Andy Samberg is better than this (just youtube him, he is hysterical). ... Read More
