Usually I don't mess movie with reviews so bare with me. I apologize if it is not up to par with the other movie reviews up here....Hot Rod is a 2007 comedy that stars Andy Samberg, probably most known as a cast member on SNL, and a member of the Lonely Island. Without giving much away (not that there is much to give away), the movie is about a young stuntman (Samberg), and his crew attempting to raise money to help the stunt-man's father get surgery. The story itself, like most of the gags in the movie, are basic and pointless. The humor in the movie is mostly dumb humor, and at times feels like a really long skit from the Lonely Island (which makes sense considering it was directed by the same person). If stupidity and dumb humor are not your forte, then i would avoid the movie. However, if you have the ability to "turn off your brain" sort to speak (which i did) there is a good chance you will enjoy the movie, especially considering its relatively short running time. The movie mostly delivers quiet laughs, though there was a part or two where i laughed out loud.
Overall, I would recommend you WATCH IT, but ONLY IF YOU CAN SHUT OFF YOUR BRAIN. Borrow it from a friend or catch it on cable/satellite/fios because while I may have enjoyed it, the cast of the movie (most notable, Will Arnett) have been a lot funnier.
