Hot Rod
Directed by Akiva Schaffer
For Rod Kimble, performing stunts is a way of life, even though he is rather accident-prone. Poor Rod cannot even get any respect from his stepfather, Frank, who beats him up in weekly sparring matches. When Frank falls ill, Rod devises his most outrageous stunt yet to raise money for Frank's operation -- and then Rod will kick Frank's butt.

- Ecto-1ANovember 3, 2025🏍️ A triumph of stupidity and spirit. Hot Rod is very much a niche comedy. Stupid, absurd and proudly slapstick; but it works. With a well-rounded cast that includes Bill Hader, Danny McBride, the dry, deadpan humor of Chris Parnell and the ever-charming Isla Fisher, the film becomes a chaotic gem of its own. Combined with the offbeat energy of Lonely Island’s Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone, you get a recipe for an unexpected cult comedy hit — equal parts dumb and brilliant.

- mickerdooJuly 3, 2025A lot of out loud laughs for me in this one. Samberg gets me every time. Plus you get Hader! Fisher is mad hot. Fun cameos and everything is ran with.
