  REVIEW:  
 

Rob Kimble, played by Andy Samberg of Saturday Night Live fame, plays a goofy guy with strange friends who support him in his endeavors to become a stuntman.  Becoming a stunt man is a tribute to follow in his late Dad’s footsteps.  To be accepted by his new step dad, he thinks he has to show off his amazing fighting skills and beat his step data in hand to hand combat.  That whole plan gets put on hold when his step dad needs a heart transplant.  Since they can’t afford the surgery, Rod decides to raise the money by performing the stunt of his life.  To get ready for his big stunt, his friends help him train.  The girl he has a crush on, played by Isla Fisher, decides to join in and help him train too.  Now all Rod has to do is jump over 15 buses, become famous, impress the girl, raise tons of money, and save his step father.  Then he can win fair and square in the fight he’s been waiting for.

  MOVIE NIGHT TRAFFIC LIGHT:
 

On the Movie Night Traffic Light on a scale of GREEN meaning “Go – it’s a must see”, YELLOW meaning “Caution – it’s okay” and RED meaning “No - stop don’t do it."

We rate Hot Rod YELLOW.  Not too bad for this kind of movie.
