Hot Rod
This movie centers around the life story of Rod Kimble, a loser stuntman, who suffers from the bad luck he receives, but he knows that he is such a lucky man, after the illness of his stepfather, as he needs a transplant, as he receives help by his good friends, who stand by him, and his lover, Denis.

A perennial problem with comedy from regular collaborators is that the results feel too much like friends' in-jokes.

Samberg can't carry this, though director Akiva Schaffer supplies some hilarious, Jackass-style wipeouts.

...comedy is a subjective thing, and what makes one person laugh may simply bore someone else. Hod Rod bored me.

If you're looking for plausibility, this is not your movie. If you're looking for laughs, this is not your movie. If you like seeing delusional overgrown adolescents fall down a lot, then this one's for you.

Awesomely dumb slapstick is for teens and adults only.

Imagine a Stand by Me on wheels, with dialogue spoken by 20-something actors instead of 12-year-olds, and you have the essence of the script.

We know from the Lazy Sunday bits Samberg's a funny guy, but he doesn't have enough to work with here.

What works, wonderfully, are the falls, the punch-outs (his brawls with Stepdad are brutal throw-downs) and waiting for that next accident to happen.

Started to go bad about the time someone in casting said, "You know what? I'll bet America is just about ready for the comedy stylings of Sissy Spacek."
