Irreverent and HIlarious. |
|
In the vein of Monty Python, this film brings the laughs. So what if most of the jokes are irreverent, it's still hillarious. Funny people in a super funny movie. It may not be appealing to everyone, but who cares. Lots of great moments for laughter and some quotable lines. To me, comedy is funny and this movie is very funny. |

Not so cool beans. |

Andy Samberg is a funny guy, but in this movie he doesn't have enough to work with. Remember the scene in 'Napolean Dynamite' where Jon Heder did a bicycle stunt with hilariously disasterous results. Well you get that bit about 30 times here. Samberg play Rod Kimble who so bad to be a stuntman and to show up his stepfather played by the bad guy from 'Deadwood' Ian McShane. Isla Fisher is wasted in the role of Rod's next door neighbor who take a liking to him and his friends.
I think with a better script and more ambition from the charaters they could have gave us a verry funny movie, this is not that movie. Even though the material is uneven this movie a few laughs, huge dumbass laughs. Nothing made me laugh harder than anything I seen in a comedy for example the scene where he falls ... |

Hot Rod? More like Warm Rod! |

I rented this movie expecting to laugh..alot...the previews to this movie looked stupid funny to me. A Napoleon Dynamite-ish type humor. I was wrong. It was nothing like that. The movie itself was entertaining. Its a one time viewing movie. I can't see myself watching it again...unless its free on Encore (cable). The humor was bland...there were some laugh out loud humor as well. Cast was good. Could have used a little more humor. Overall...I give it a 2 out of 4. |
