comedy
 (imdb rating: 6.4/10)
Plot: Self-proclaimed stuntman Rod Kimble (Samberg) is preparing for the jump of his life. Rod plans to clear fifteen buses in an attempt to raise money for his abusive stepfather Frank's life-saving heart operation. He'll land the jump, get Frank better, and then fight him, hard.
Overindulging the (light) comedy chops of one young Andy Samberg should remain in the realm of tv (SNL, from which cast members Chris Parnell and Bill Hader lent a hand.. no success), the short 88 minute runtime was excruciating, even with the few chuckles, very few Don't bother with this movie for real Notes - what would possess McShane (Deadwood) to agree to be part of this movie, nonsensical.. I suppose it might have been fun - Arnett continues to cultivate his on screen douche bag persona - Isla Fisher continues to be less hot - the whole spirit of animals thing was almost good, definitely skit material - the movie was actually shot beautifully, kudos the director and/or his dp Last Updated 11/28/2007 10:11:02 PM 1hr 28min / Directed by Akiva Schaffer / Starring Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Ian McShane, Sissy Spacek, Will Arnett, Isla Fisher / Language: English / Watched: DVD Also in comedy (391 movies)      | ||||
