Quick summary here: please do not waste your time watching this movie.  If you want more details, keep reading, but even thinking of watching this movie shouldn't be supported or allowed.  It is that bad.

More details:  You are still reading this?!  What, do you have relatives that worked on this crap fest or are you just a glutton for punishment?!?!  Well, here goes.  First, would whoever is responsible for keeping Lorne Michaels and the crew of weak-talents at SNL away from making movies please go out and round up all of the copies of Hot Rod that were released so they can be destroyed and put us all out of our misery?!? (While they are out there they could likely round up a bunch of other bad movies by Michaels with his SNL friends at the same time...)

What a waste of HD DVD disc materials and other resources.  I chuckled a few times at this movie, but really it's been a while since I've seen anything that bad.  Perhaps back to the Norbit time frame.  Total. Crap. Fest.

Sissy Spacek and Ian McShane should be ashamed of wasting their talent on this sort of crap.  I guess this movie is part of why Spacey is now doing a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie -- it's penance for this piece of trash.

I would say that I'm glad this was a rental (there is certainly no way I'd want to have bought it) on HD DVD, but after the fact (having watched this) I want the 90 minutes plus that I wasted on watching it back.  Blech.

I suppose I should have known well enough in advance.  The reviews weren't great, the movie didn't take in that much money at the box office, and yes, it was a Lorne Michaels movie with SNL alums in the major roles.  That would be what some people call a clue.  Well, I figured it couldn't be all that bad.  No, it wasn't all that bad -- it was worse.  It was lame.  Stupid.  { Cartman voice } WEAK! { / Cartman voice }

I've seen bad, and then again I've seen bad.  This was at the lowest end of the scale.  I now need to find some way to give this thing about negative 100 stars just so that Netflix never thinks I might be tempted to watch something similar to this.  Yes, it was that bad.
