Hot Rod (DVD) ... 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 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

I am a big fan of obscure American comedies and a rich vein of these has always been from ex-Saturday Night Live members. Star of 'Hot Rod' is one Andy Samberg, a current member of SNL, but I have to be honest and say that I have never heard of him. This did not put me off renting the film and I am glad that I did as it was ...more

Premium Review Hot Rod (DVD): Hot to Trot (933 words)

When I was a youth there was a cartoon series that was the talk of the playground. You may have heard of it, the show was called 'The Simpsons'. What made 'The Simpsons' so wonderful was its mystery and unavailability. You see this was before BBC2 and Channel 4 showed it and only rich friends with Sky had it. Luckily for me one such friend recorded several episodes onto VHS for me and I duly watched said episodes over and over again to the point were I still know all the dialogue when these episodes inevitably turn up on TV. One episode saw Bart want to become a stuntman; trying to put him off this idea his parents allow him to visit a stuntman in hospital. Rather ...

(Also appears at ShaunMunro.co.uk) Director: Akiva Schaffer Cast: Will Arnett, Isla Fisher, Ian McShane, Adam Samberg, Sissy Spacek Release Date: August 3rd, 2007 (US), August 17th, 2007 (UK) Certificate: PG-13 (US) Hot Rod, quite simply, is one of the strangest, most offbeat comedies to come our way since Napoleon Dynamite (a film which, I hasten to add, I wasn't terribly fond of upon first viewing). Filled with irreverent gags, and so-called "random" interludes of "humour", Hot Rod is a curiosity of a comedy. It becomes clear early on that much of the laughs to be sought in Hot Rod are physical, ...

Premium Review Hot Rod (DVD): Laugh? Try not to wet yourself! (677 words)

I've just been to see my brother who's just got back in the country the other day having been out to Dubai on business. We said the usual 'hellos' and what-not but then he asks me if I've seen a film called 'Hot Rod'. Apparently he watched it on the plane back to the UK, thought it was fantastic and asked if I wanted to watch it now. You've got to bear in mind that by watching the film we would have missed the football on TV so the film must have been a cut above the rest! It was. The story is the usual american mr. nobody comes good formula but where this differs is that whenever it appears that it is going to get disgustingly saccharin it side-swipes you ...
