Hot Rod
Directed by: Akiva Schaffer
Paramount
The summer’s best comedy—but under the bait-and-hook of Judd Apatow hype, barely anyone noticed. SNL star Andy Samberg and director Akiva Schaffer legitimately get the randomness of internet humour and the shared sensibility of suburban ’80s kids than any movie that’s come before. Expect the DVD to give it a second life on par with Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.
