This movie is hilarious. Andy isnt the best actor, but he has pretty good comedic timing. Same type of humor as Super Troopers mixed with some Napolean Dynamite. I'd watch it again right now if I could. Recommend it!... Full review

This is a pretty bad movie to tell you the truth. It really isn't funny at all. There is probably one sincerely funny part. Andy Sandberb does what he can I guess and Bill Hader does an alright job but has... Full review

Hot Rod" is a very dull movie with essentially no laughs, wasting a cast that should have been able to bring forth comedic gold.....Hot Rod" wanted to be a goofy, fun, and an oddly sentimental comedy.....This type of comedy actually can work wonderfully, but with the right material, which "Hot Rod" definitely lacks.....Chris Parnell wasn't very funny either....I originally passed up "Hot Rod" when it came out as it seemed like it would just be overly dumb..... ...
