      Kyle Smith New York Post If you must see "Hot Rod," bring along something else to do--like a portable DVD player loaded with "Anchorman" or "The Waterboy." Rated: 1/4 Aug 3, 2007 Full Review Todd Gilchrist IGN Movies Not all comedies need to become instant classics -- especially not when they're in the SNL-related canon -- so this film's aim is overambitious but true, earning it a rank far above Superstar or Black Sheep but below Tommy Boy or Happy Gilmore. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

      Michael N As a car guy and Hot rodder/drag racer...this is the top of the heap. A cult classic, a film for the ages when it comes to car enthsiasts Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful campy fun hot rodders movie. Great cars and dont forget the root beer! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I wouldn't say this is the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's definitely down on the back side of the list. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite car movies of all time... I have always loved old Willy's and they sure did a great job with this on in the movie.... Some people get this confused with the Hot Rod movie that just came out a couple years ago because there is no image showing here.. This is the made for TV movie from 1979 and its a kick ass movie for a old one that is... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
