Review of Hot Rod (1950)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 01 Aug 2007

Review of Hot Rod (1950)

By Desson Thomson (1,673) for Washington Post (9,851) on 01 Aug 2007

Unfortunately, the gags start to wear thin shortly around the 15-minute mark, not to mention the fact that they pale in comparison to the real-life…

Review of Hot Rod (1950)

By David Fear (910) for Time Out (7,510) on 31 Jul 2007

Samberg's penchant for subversively silly asides certainly hints that he's capable of being more than a Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler clone…
