Hot Rod(dir. Akiva Schaffer)
The film is basically a feature-length Andy Samberg digital short except funnier and with some semblance of an actual plot. Will Arnett is amazing as the typical asshole boyfriend of the girl of our protagonist's dreams. The whole stepfather-stepson relationship was quite heartwarming and poignant and the bit with everybody marching that eventually turned ugly was hilarious. Isla Fisher was not as revolting to watch this time around probably because The Lookout actually had "good" acting and this didn't. It could have been the lighting as well. It's not going to go down as a comedy classic or anything, but this movie definitely had its moments.
