I have watched this movie over a dozen times now and i can't get enough of it. sure the jokes can be silly at times but this movie will keep you in non-stop laughter! The lonely islands Akiva Schaffer directs while Jorma Taccone and Andy Samberg star, this dream trio completely perfects the movie. Bill Hader and Danny Mcbride are also excellent, sometimes pulling off the most ridiculous jokes. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone with a sense of humor. 10/10

First of all, this movie is one of my favorite comedies and is absolutely hilarious from start to finish.I just finished a book which has changed the way I view movies and read literature through the eyes of an English professor. This movie was my first victim. Does Rod Kimble represent a Christ Figure? Absolutely. And here's a list of everything I noticed throughout the film. Rod is in the right age bracket (around 23). He has disciples, 3 and then 4 of them. One of these disciples eventually betrays Rod (half brother) when he makes the film. He performs miracles (sort of...stunts). He runs off into the "wilderness" at one point of despair. He is constantly trying to live up to his father. He really has no father (dead dad). His love interest is a red head (Mary Magdalene). In the end he prepares to make the "ultimate sacrifice" for his father which ultimately inspires hope in all the crowd. To top that off he actually dies during the final stunt (lying in a spread eagle cross shape) and gets resurrected!! When he beats his dad up at the end he makes him tell us "you're a man" in the ultimate statement of is he a god or man.Did the writer intend this? I dunno. Maybe. Wh cares? But it's there.Go check it out. You'll never look at the Gospel of Hot Rod the same way again.

I really enjoyed this movie. I laughed a lot, I smiled and even felt excited and sad at some points. It really delivered feelings.The humour in this movie was amazing. It was not full of the flat jokes you often see in American comedies, but even made fun of itself I felt.Sambergs acting was not outstanding but perfectly fine, same holds for the other actors. Whom I didn't like much was Isla Fisher as Denise since she did not had many different aspects, maybe that was caused by the role. Who I loved was Ian McShane, who fit his role perfect. Overall acting in this movie was fine. The movie really benefits from its short running time. There are only few really drawn out scenes but due to this fact they gain importancy and mark the movie in a nice way. The movie is super straight forward without different action strands and it works out really good.Only thing it really lacks is storywise.

Connor: We saw this movie on a plane with headphones and saw the part where the Asian guy was dancing. Me and my Dad and years later it's our families favorite movie we've watched it over and over and even showed it to the rest of our family and friends and they think it's hilarious! We love it still watch it over and over. First we watched it through Netflix then we bought the movie on iTunes.
