Better Late Than Never: Hot Rod
June 23, 2009
Two summers ago, when I was working at WEEI 850-AM in Boston (sorry, let me pick that name up), I noticed a DVD in the producer’s studio. Being one of the biggest stations in Boston, people would send us free copies of their books, CD’s, and movies with the hope that we would talk them up on-air. Spoiler Alert: never happened. Most of the time the swag ended up in the trash barrel. So when I saw an advanced copy of Hot Rod sitting on top of a pile of freebies I did what I had to do: I threw it out.
Fast forward to last Saturday afternoon. Exhausted from the night before (dude) I crawled my decaying carcass to the couch and turned on my television. What was just starting? Hot Rod, that’s what. Semi-horrified, I glanced down to my right to grab my remote. Bad news—it was two and a half feet away. Guess I was sticking with Hot Rod. I’m glad I did.
It’s not that Hot Rod is just a funny movie, it’s that it is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. In an age where I laugh about 2-4 times a year at comedies, Hot Rod had me convulsing and snorting like Lindsay Lohan at a Miami Beach nightclub.
