    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

    Ok for older kids but not tweens

    I was surprised that no one mentioned the use of a certain term to express mail excitedness or the brief but very noticible computer video of two dogs mating that was being watched by the younger brother. I would have found that information helpful. Ok for older kids who will find it to be like Napoleon Dynamite but with stunts.

    Silly, dumb but kind of lovable story

    Some of the dialogue you will find yourself saying, HUH? But it's just plain silly. I would never let my kids watch Jackass because he is. But the main character here is actually lovable in a weird sort of dorky way. The drinking, although constant, is not portrayed in the "party" atmosphere like a lot of other movies. For the first time when I heard the worst curse in here (f**k), I actually laughed in front of my 12 year old! The way it was delivered was very funny & with good timing. The character was very deserving of the comment he got.

    Napolean Dynamite on a moped

    If you liked Napolean Dynamite, you'll probably like this. It's just weird that way. To compare it to Jackass is way off base. The "actors" on Jackass are disrespectful rich kids who crave attention. Hot Rod is just a movie about a dork who dreams of being a stunt man. Nothing that will make you turn your head in disgust.

    This was a painful comedy to watch...

    it could have been more action and better humor. It was pitiful.

    I nearly rolled off my seat!

    This was one of those movies where the humor was so dumb it was hilarious. There were several parts that made no sense whatsoever but were hilarious at the same time. I laughed so hard a couple times that I had tears running down my face and I nearly rolled off my seat! If you liked Napoleon Dynamite and the old Airplane and Naked Gun movies then you would definitely love this movie.

    Very Good

    This was a great movie. There is non-stop swearing and violence. Some sexual content. And kids should not try the stunts. But the main point of the movie is positive

    Cool Beans!

    This was probably the stupidest funny movie ever. I would sooner compare it to Scary Movie than the stupidly un-funny Napolean Dynamite. Of course the crashes will be hilarious to anyone who likes watching people get hurt, but I was surprised by the great timing of the dumbest moments put in a movie. The movie makes things as random as making a song out of "Cool Beans" (My favorite part) or watching a wrestling match between a taco and a grilled cheese sandwich hilarious. As far as language, there's plenty. a F--k, "Oh, s--t!" is repeated, p---y is used once, and refrences to "smashed d--kholes" and "boner police". Not for anyone under 13.

    Some funny parts

    This movie looked really funny and just was not. thee very few parts that made me laugh tord the end just got really boring. There is quite a bit of language and adult material but I think it will be ok for kids 14+

    Insanely hilarious, hardly inapropriate!

    The movie was absolutely hilarious, very random, and very very silly. There are only a few inapropriate parts,there is some bad language, but alot of violence. But its just so funny! Recommended for ages 11+
