multimillion dollar family business? From the producers of American Chopper comes American Hot Rod a peek into the life of famous hot-rod builder and designer Boyd Coddin...
Advantages: Hilariously stupid, no sex, fun for all the family Disadvantages: It's only 88 mins long
...I've just been to see my brother who's just got back in the country the other day having been out to Dubai on business. We said the usual 'hellos' and what-not but then he asks me if I've seen a film called 'HotRod'. Apparently he watched it on the plane back to the UK, thought it was fantastic and asked if I wanted to watch it now. You've got to bear in mind that by watching the film we would have missed the football on TV so the film must have been a cut above the rest!
It was. The story is the usual american mr. nobody comes good formula but where this differs is that whenever it appears that it is going to get disgustingly saccharin it side-swipes you and makes you laugh your pants off. When you realise that it was written by Pam Brady (who? I hear you cry) it is understandable why the sickly-sweet niceness that can often...

Advantages: Zany, quite amusing and entertaining, pretty good casting Disadvantages: A bit too daft or cheesy for some perhaps
...- Introduction -
I read about HotRod on Amazon and though I'd never heard of it before, I saw that it got good user reviews and was apparently a very funny slapstick movie about a stuntman, which sounded interesting, so I thought I'd add it to my rental list and I watched it last night. This is what its about and what I thought of it.

..."Intro to review"
Are you kidding me! There is not one review so far of this fantastic spoof movie. Nowadays you get crap thrown around the movie business such as epic movie, date movie and meet the spartans. Hot Shots and specifically Hot Shots Part Deux are the perfect spoof movies. Why??...Because it has a great storyline and a fantastic cast. Writers of spoof films should go back to the drawing boards, sit down and watch this film several times, over and over again until they realise where they have gone wrong on all these crappy spoof movies they have been making. There have only been a few 5 star spoof films; aeroplane, scary movie 1, and thankfully...Hot Shot and Hot Shots Part Deux. This review is of the latter.
