So Hot Rod did not disappoint. I'll admit it wasn't the finest work of cinema I've seen, or even the funniest. I probably enjoyed it way more than I should have because I was watching it with one of my closest friends, and when together, our collective IQ's tend to drop roughly 50 points. Either way, I laughed a lot. It was like "I'm on a Boat," or "Lazy Sunday," or one of the other Lonely Island videos, but two hours long. I highly recommend watching the deleted scenes with commentary from Andy, Jorma, and Akeva. It was almost as funny as the movie. I currently have three copies of the movie in my house if you wish to watch it. One I rented, and two I bought from Wal-Mart today (one to send to my friend).
Speaking of Wal-Mart, I got very happy and sad while shopping there today. I was buying picture frames and made my way over to the $5 bin of DVDs. I was extremely happy to find Hot Rod for only $4 in the bin. While I enjoyed it, I can understand why it's only a $4 DVD. However, there were movies in the bin that upset me. West Side Story? Silence of the Lambs? Stand by Me? The Untouchables? All $5? These movies are wonderful and I feel like they deserve more respect than a $5 price tag. I guess it's a good thing they are cheap so more people buy and watch them, but it saddens me that such great films have been so lowly demoted in the hierarchy of film prices. Or maybe I'm just bitten I paid full price for them. Either way, Wal-Mart was able to change my mood as quickly as the beautiful weather changed in Chapel Hill last week (Booyah! Nice simile huh?)
