    • Quotes

      Rod Kimble: Hey, everybody! I got some awesome news. We have a new crew member today, Denise. So I thought it would be fun if we all went around and said our name and a little something about ourselves. I'll start. My name is Rod, and I like to party. All right, Dave, you're up.

      Dave: Uh, hi. Uh, my name is Dave, and uh... I like to party.

      Rod Kimble: Uh, no, Dave. I just said that I party, so maybe you could do something different from me.

      Dave: My name is Dave, and I... am the stuntman.

      Rod Kimble: You know what? Let's move on. Rico, you're up.

      Rico: Uh, hello! I'm Rico, and I like to party.

      Rod Kimble: Yeah, uh, Rico, what did I just say to Dave?

      Rico: Who?

      Rod Kimble: Dave!

      Kevin Powell: I like to party. I'm Rod.

      Rod Kimble: No! You're Kevin!

      Kevin Powell: Right, Kevin. I party.

      Rod Kimble: No, no, you don't. Okay, nobody parties but me.

      Dave: Yes, and we party.

      Rod Kimble: No!

      Rico: Yeah, just Rod...

      Rod Kimble: Yes!

      Rico: ...and me!

      Rod Kimble: No! I'm the only one who parties!

      Kevin Powell: I'm pretty sure I've partied before.

      Rod Kimble: No, Kevin, I know for a fact you don't party. Okay? You do not party!

      Kevin Powell: You're right. Dave's the party guy.

      Dave: Haha, sweet!

      Rod Kimble: Oh, my God, shut up! Okay? I'm just gonna do it for you.

    Absolutely Hysterical
    I just saw the first screening ever of Hot Rod at the Los Angeles Film Festival.

    As a fan of The Lonely Island, I went into this movie with high expectations. I can happily say that not only were they met but they were exceeded. This is by far the funniest, strangest and most ingenious comedy of the summer. The movie has some of the most random gags ever seen on film. This film is not for everyone: it has no stars and the comedy is very strange. But give it a chance and you will not regret it. The directing and editing of the film is both stylish and fast paced. Andy Samberg is hilarious as always but the supporting cast truly shines, particularly Bill Hader, Will Arnett and Ian McShane. Also look for an INSANELY hilarious cameo from director Akiva Shaffer. If you love the SNL digital shorts this movie is for you. Hot Rod is destined to be a cult comedy classic.
