Reviews are pretty good so far. People seem to be calling it this generation's Spinal Tap.

I am 100% on board with everything the Lonely Island does, and my wife has a crush on Andy Samberg so this will be an easy sell.

If people aren't familiar with The Lonely Island, or even if they are, here's a bit they did for a recent SNL to promote this movie, featuring the same character Andy Samberg is playing in this movie. I don't believe this song is in the movie, but it's presumably the same style of humor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr9Kaa1sycs

Lonely Island is pretty funny and Hot Rod is great, so I'm pretty confident this will be funny. I sing "Diaper Money" way to often in my head.

So this was pretty good. Could have used more musical numbers, though, considering The Lonely Island's skill set. I appreciate a movie coming in lean, particularly a comedy, but an extra 5 minutes for two more songs would still have it be a full half-hour shorter than Walk Hard. And, yeah, definitely more of a Lonely Island group movie than the trailer suggests.

Watching it, I kinda wonder if it's to the Lonely Island what Chef was to Jon Favreau. Maybe we never heard about it, but it could be the product of a rift between the guys. Andy Samburg is the star going out on his own, Akiva and Jorma were the two brains behind behind the music, the music and the words respectively. It isn't that far of a leap to connect it to their comedic careers.

I highly suggest the soundtrack which features 20 songs and most weren't in the movie. We had 2 walk outs when I saw it over the Penis autograph scene

Even as someone who doesn't really care about The Lonely Island I thought this was a pretty funny movie. Kind of odd though that going by the trailers it looks like Will Forte had an entire bit that got cut since he appears in like 1 scene in the entire movie. I think the cameo I liked the most was Justin Timberlake as the chef (with the amazing singing voice.)

The soundtrack is on Spotify but for some reason they don't let you stream Equal Rights. Edit: Really wish "Legalize it" was in the movie. muscles like this! fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jun 4, 2016 |

Just saw and really enjoyed this. Couldn't decide between the TMZ sketches or Jay from the Inbetweeners co-starring (despite having about 4 lines) as a man who looks like Jared Leto as my favourite part.

I saw it in theaters and wasn't surprised it bombed, although my friend and I both thought Danny McBride was hilarious before we had any idea who he was.

Speaking of Leto, my favorite joke in the whole movie is Conner's misconception regarding 30 Seconds to Mars.

Hot Rod is incredible--I always kinda thought it was like Napoleon Dynamite in its renown: Popular, then severe backlash, then absolutely no one cared for a long time, then "oh it was actually good all along"

Mona Lisa, you're an overrated piece of poo poo With your terrible smile and your dead shark eyes and a smirk like you're hiding a dick (what the gently caress is this garbage?) I laughed way too hard at this from the very beginning. I think it was Karate Guy that first set me off - "I'm in a cowboy hat. Now I'm in a cowboy hat. Now I'm in three cowboy hats" - but I laughed hard at the whole thing. I might try to catch it again before it leaves theaters. "My name is Mr. Fish, these guys' thoughts have granted my wish"

Napoleon Dynamite was a phenomenon from the start and followed that path like you stated, but Hot Rod didn't seem to get that treatment. Sidenote, I revisited Napoleon Dynamite last year and it holds up.

Welp, looks like strike 2 for the Lonely Island. drat shame, we loved it (and so did the other person in the theatre). My wife was helpless with laughter during the whole 'proposal' scene.

Hot Rod was popular enough that a church I went to's youth group basically parodied it nonstop for 3 years by their 'viral video team' which was a thing they had.

I liked Hot Rod, but Napoleon Dynamite reminded me of this family I knew growing up. I just couldn't find the humor in it, it made me feel bad watching. I'm a special iconoclast snowflake though, so who knows? There's a couple of real gems on the soundtrack. If I find the time I'll go see the movie in theaters.

Saw it, was good, not great. I thought it needed more songs. My favorite bit was probably Connor yelling GET MERKED! GET MERKED! at the giant queen bee The Earl Sweatshirt/Tyler the creator (?) satire guy was really funny too.

This was great. Lots of great jokes wrapped around a solid center story. It's a shame this has died at the box office. Also, drat that Emma Stone cameo.

I enjoyed the film, and have been rocking the soundtrack for the past few days. It got nailed at the box office though. Bad marketing strategy from the studio?
