Product Description
And, to top it off, his stepfather Frank uses him as his own personal pinching bag. But he's not going to let a few minor problems keep him from the biggest stunt of his life!
Co-starring Isla Fisher and Ian McShane, Hot Rod is "very, very funny from start to finish" and scales the heights of hilarity as Rod defies death to win the money, win the girl and, ultimately, win some respect. Rod has never landed a jump without wiping out. Andy Samberg stars as Rod Kimble, a stuntman with a fake mustache and a dream, in this outrageous comedy so unpredictable you won't know what hit you! His family and friends think he's a joke.
You've seen it before, and if you can't get enough of this sort of thing, you'll see it again. 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. 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. Then again, producer Will Ferrell got his start in A Night at the Roxbury. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Directed by SNL scribe Akiva Schaffer, Hot Rod proves his humor works best in small doses. With support from his crew, which includes SNL's Bill Hader and Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers), Rod trains for the big event. 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. But don't count Samberg out. All the while, Denise (Fisher) is seeing obnoxious attorney Jonathan (Will Arnett, Arrested Development). In his first starring role, Samberg is amateur stuntman Rod Kimble. Hot Rod is the kind of slapdash comedy that neglects to provide its hero with an age, a job, or even a hometown. Lack of physical dexterity aside, Rod prevails through pure dogged determination. 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.
