This is a kind of Napoleon Dynamite comedy although it has big differences and oh gosh I laughed so hard! It is hilarious! Some things are just so stupid that you just can stop laughing!
I liked the presence of the 80's in the film is notorious in everything, especially in the soundtrack.
Andy Samberg as Rod is so funny! His crew Danny McBride, Bill Hader and Jorma Taccone were also great! -
This movie is fucking hilarious. It has quickly become one of my favorite comedies.
Andy Samberg should make more movies like this and stay away from Adam Sandler.

Literally better than every Happy Madison movie, and effortlessly achieves what Sandler and Co. have spent years trying to master. Sorry, bros.

"I've been drinking green tea all God damn day!"

Perfect movie is perfect.

Basically, if you imagine what would happen if you set the Lonely Island guys loose on a film set with a fat budget, you pretty much get the idea of Hot Rod. That said, I think it’s one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen. It’s not for those that dislike absurdist humor to be sure, but it’s full of tiny moments that make the film funnier and more memorable than you’d expect from a silly feature like this.
1. Who makes a scene about trying to guess Jelly Belly flavors?
2. The phrase “Awesome as shit”
3. Ian McShane
4. You’re The Voice and the scene immediately following it.
5. Footloose falls down a hill
6. A mo-ped? Really?
7. That goddamn mustache.
8. Why am I speaking what way?There’s more, but do yourself a favor and see it for yourself. Unless you hate funny, in which case you're not be trusted.

Only recommended to fans of the SNL digital shorts by the Lonely Island. Everyone else, it's far too random.

Follows the usual comedy steps but offers something good and solid with every one.
I have come close to putting this on a few times but i knew so little about it i have always been swayed by something else on my to watch list. However after hearing a review of this and the slamming it got i was curious to see what's up.
I had fun with this film and I thought there was some nice comedy moments, and i laughed out loud through out.
The cast were brilliant and there chemistry really added to the comedy performances...i get the feeling they had some fun making this film together.

This is for people like me with my stupid sense of humour. It's silly, fun and has some great one liners you'll repeat with your friends for a couple of weeks.

A comedy that seems targeted towards the random generation (i.e. "that bit made me laugh, it was so random"). Some funny(ish) bits but a struggle to sit through.

pretty good!
