Jeff: ‘Hot Rod' a dream date -- dumb, cute and funny
Plot: Every stunt man needs to start somewhere, and for Rod Kimble (Andy Samberg), it’s his neighborhood. Along with a couple friends, Rod begins preparations for an elaborate stunt in the hopes of raising enough money for his abusive stepfather to get a heart transplant so he can get healthy … and Rod can attempt to beat him up again.
Who’s it for: You’ve got to appreciate stupid comedies. There is definitely repetitive humor, and it runs long in parts, but there are a few scenes that should induce tears (of joy).
Expectations: I like Andy Samberg’s work on “Saturday Night Live,” but he never struck me as having the talent of a Will Ferrell, Phil Hartman or even a Jimmy Fallon, so the jury was still out for me.
