7/10
Funny in the way that your friend is funny...

...And you aren't sure if everyone else "gets it".

This movie likes to party. "Hot Rod" has a real silly sense of humor and eschews most artificial plot advancers that weigh down other SNL-based film comedies.

Much of the humor was juvenile and stupid, but a good portion of that was funny enough to keep me in the seat.

I predict that either you will like "Hot Rod" or you'll hate it. I don't think it will have a "Napolean Dynamite" type following although you get the sense that that was the intent.

Lots of 80's in-jokes and spoofs that will be lost on much of today's youth who were weaned on Jack-Ass, Jim Carrey, Captain Planet and cell-phones.
