Hot Rod Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Spare yourself the 'Rod'

This is a goofy comedy, and to be totally honest with you, not particularly in the best of ways. Loser Rod has issues with his stepdad and the girl next door, he wants to become something worthwhile so they have to sit up and take notice of him. His plan is a simple one, for him aided by his friends (or erstwhile back-up crew) to leap various objects... Evil Knivel style... on a moped... you get the idea. There are flashes of fun to be had in this, but they bite the dust as quickly as this guys latest stunt. If you just have to go out and watch a funny 'loser' movie there are better out there, example 'Superbad'. Its not a total flop, but I wouldn't jump through a blazing ring o fire to go see it.

Customer Review

Hadn't heard too much about this film, and rented it solely on the hilarity of the trailer.

Was not disappointed as this turned out to be a great film, one of the best i've seen in a while.

The main character is very similar to Will Ferrell, both in his acting and his comedy deliverance. The main plot is slightly bland, but there is plenty of laughs to keep you watching.

Will be purchasing this soon!
