Andy Samberg is pretty much the best thing to happen to SNL in a years and he’s already starring in his first movie… Good luck SNL but this guy won’t be around very long and then you guys are mega screwed again! The movie is called Hot Rod and features Samberg as a wanna be Evel Knievel… I don’t see any way that this movie won’t be hilarious. Plus the trailer is funny as hell. Check it out:
Synopsis:
Amateur stuntman Rod Kimble (ANDY SAMBERG) has a problem – his step-father Frank (IAN MCSHANE) is a jerk. Frank picks on Rod, tosses him around like a rag doll in their weekly sparring sessions, and definitely doesn’t respect him, much less his stunts. But when Frank falls ill, it’s up to Rod to stage the jump of his life in order to save his step-father. The plan: Jump 15 buses, raise the money for Frank’s heart operation, and then… kick his ass.
Cast: Andy Samberg, Isla Fisher, Jorma Taccone, Bill Hader, with Sissy Spacek and Ian McShane
