Synopsis

The comedy trio known as Lonely Island attempt their first feature-length comedy with Hot Rod. Andy Samberg stars as Rod Kimble, an inept would-be stuntman who believes his dad worked for daredevil Evel Knievel. His stepfather abuses him at every opportunity, but Rod keeps attempting tricks on his moped. After the stepfather becomes very ill, Rod gets the brilliant idea to attempt a stunt more dangerous that Knievel ever considered in order to raise the money to cure him. His master plan being that, after the stepfather improves, Rod will finally get his revenge and beat him in a fight.

What Critics Say

Andy Samberg is no Adam Sandler (yet)—or even Jimmy Fallon, his Sandler-wannabe predecessor—and Hot Rod is no Billy Madison. It will be, however, one helluva channel-surfing-in-the-middle-of-the-night gem.
