Genre: Comedy
Year of release: 2007
Director: Akiva Schaffer
Starring: Andy Samberg, Isla Fisher, Ian McShane
A classic goofy comedy film, Andy Samberg plays the
self-proclaimed stuntman Rod Kimble, whose life dream is to be as good a
stuntman as his deceased father. He and his younger brother, two beds friends
and neighbour Denise [Isla Fisher] plan a stunt that nobody has ever done
before: to clear 15 buses in one jump, in order that Rod can raise money for
his unapproving step-father’s [Ian McShane] heart operation, and potentially finally win his
respect.
The film’s story line only exists for further comedy, with
setback in Rod’s journey, ironic “special” effects, training montages, and character
interactions all serving solely for the enjoyment of the audience, to laugh at
or with Rod in different situations.
Overall, the film provides a classic laugh for everyone,
great movie quotes to keep and use in regular life (such as “Have fun being
married to Satan!" and the origin of “cool beans”), all wrapped up in the classic
tale of Rod Kimble, Stuntman.
Final rating: 8.5/10 fudges.
