Hot Rod has a fairly typical story but it is very funny. Watching Rod fail over and over again at fairly easy stunts is hilarious. Andy Samberg's overacting is a great fit for the lead. Its too bad that Samberg can never make any money at the box office because this film has a lot of laughs. Bill Hader and Danny McBride are possibly more funny than they've ever been here too.

Fun and it doesn't take it self too seriously which works good in this parody and farse. Love the soundtrack.

Trust me babe, that raccoon would not have stopped for us!!

Reddit said it was good but it wasn't.

Wow, the stunt work in this movie is damn good.

I'm aware that the film is about stunt work, but I didn't think they would go that hard with it.

The cringe is too strong in this one.

_Hot Rod_ needs to be a cult classic, if not simply a classic comedy.
To begin, it is very well made. There is a 1980s aesthetic - including a direct allusion to _Footloose_ - and while the movie is not, strictly speaking, a parody, it definitely is drawing heavy inspiration from that era and having a laugh at it.
The best way I could describe _Hot Rod_ is if _Wayne's World_ and _Napoleon Dynamite_ had a baby, and that baby watched a lot of Adult Swim.
So, the humor here will not land with everyone - but that's the nature of comedy, isn't it? If you don't like irreverent comedy, you likely won't dig this. A good example is the part where Rod is putting heavy emphasis on the "wh" consonant cluster in words (e.g., whisky);
I don't know who did this first, _Hot Rod_ or Family Guy, but it's the exact same joke.
Ultimately, as silly as the humor is, there really is a heartbeat; you care about Rod, you feel his loss, and his triumph. He is the very definition of a lovable loser.
The cool-beans scene, and the ending are perfect.

It's so dumb but I laughed a lot.

No matter how many times I watch this movie, it never fails to make me laugh tears. If you like the Lonely Island, you most definitely gonna like Hot Rod, too. What I like most is that it's mostly nonsense slapstick-ish humour that stays family friendly.

Ha! it is so silly that is fun to watch! plus the soundtrack was great!

One of the best ridiculous movies out there. So many scenes from this movie live rent free in my head.

Andy Samberg humor is a guilty pleasure of mine. Its both outrageous and awkward in a way that is hard to explain or replicate. You either get it, or you don't, and that's the case with many niche styles of humor. This movie feels like an extended SNL skit and every inch is packed with Samberg-isms. While I may not like this one as much as Popstar, this is one you should give a try if you are in the mood to laugh.
