Hot Rob Entertainment Score: 6.5/10 Tech Score:7.5/10 IMDB Score: 6.4/10 (16K + votes)
Summary from IMDB: Rod Kimble is a naïf, a slacker living in a small US town with his mom, his younger brother, and his stepfather whose respect he craves. He also misses his dead dad, whom he thinks was Evel Knievel's back-up. Rod, a man-child, believes that he is a stunt man. When his stepfather needs an operation, with help from his brother and his slacker pals, Rod hatches a plan to set a school-bus-jumping record on his moped. First, his crew and he have to raise money to rent the buses and build the ramp. Trouble is, Rod's inept at his chosen career. Looming failure is complicated by the return of Denise, Rod's next-door neighbor and secret heartthrob, who is home from college. Is public humiliation at hand?
From me: From the people who brought you such internet favs as Dick in a Box and Jizz In My Pants brings you this: A 90min long professional net vid with a story.
Audio: 10/10. Crisp and clean. Every face smacking bone crushing sound can be heard. An eclectic sound track that matches well with the scenes and emotions of the actors. We have such songs as "Danger on the Track" by Europe, "Serenade No.13 in G Major Eine Kleine Nachtmusik KV 525: Minuetto: Allegretto" by Mozart and "Two of Hearts" by Stacey Swain.
Visuals: 8/10. This movie is Jackass but light and funny. Tons on sight gags that range from a bad 70's pornstac to the classic 80's tv show Max Headroom and a shot for shot redo of a dance scene right out of Footlosse. Also Isla Fisher who is just super hot and a head head! I would love to do some very fun things with her.... like bike ride from one town to the other on the Sabbath while looking for non-kosher beef.....IN MY PANTS
Writing: 7/10. Fast and witty but a bit unpolished for having so much time to write this film. Plus side not one char is like the other.
Acting: 8/10. This stars a cornucopia of comedic actors. Andy Samberg; Jorma Taccone; Bill Hader; Danny McBride(who is fast becoming my fav comedic actor [watch out Bill Murray] if you haven't seen The Foot Fist Way you are missing out); Will Arnett and a few others. The acting itself is over the top in a lot of places but that was what they were going for. It really works well with the few people who play it strieght.
Dir/Ed 5/10. Pretty normal for what these guys have done in the past. Some of the editing was a bit off. A few places seemed to be missing some frames. One or two shoots were cut way to soon.
Bottom line: If you can find this cheap buy it and then play the game I made up for it. It's called find the bald headed asain man dry humping the air. It's like "Wheres Waldo"
