If you're looking for plausibility, this is not your movie. If you're looking for laughs, this is not your movie. If you like seeing delusional overgrown adolescents fall down a lot, then this one's for you.

What works, wonderfully, are the falls, the punch-outs (his brawls with Stepdad are brutal throw-downs) and waiting for that next accident to happen.

We know from the Lazy Sunday bits Samberg's a funny guy, but he doesn't have enough to work with here.

A perennial problem with comedy from regular collaborators is that the results feel too much like friends' in-jokes.

...comedy is a subjective thing, and what makes one person laugh may simply bore someone else. Hod Rod bored me.

Samberg can't carry this, though director Akiva Schaffer supplies some hilarious, Jackass-style wipeouts.

Started to go bad about the time someone in casting said, "You know what? I'll bet America is just about ready for the comedy stylings of Sissy Spacek."
