Desperate to revitalize his once-successful television career, an embittered comedian (Adam Carolla) is forced to hit the road and perform in low-profile stand-up gigs.

Brad Wheeler

Globe and Mail

It's about looking at life as an accumulation of disappointments and having the will to work for something better.

Rated: 2.5/4

Toronto Star

In the final reel, the tone suddenly shifts from laughs to a deliberately quirky romance that feels forced and, worse, doesn't work.

Rated: 2/4

The Hollywood Reporter

Comedian Adam Carolla mines his own career experiences to amusing effect in his semi-autobiographical dark comedy about an embittered stand-up comic.

A lot rings painfully true about showbiz in Road Hard, a bittersweet look at a middle-aged comic dealing with a stalled career.

Here's a comedy about a stand-up comedian trying to get out of the comedy business. And here's my advice to him: Don't quit your day job. You're good at it, and it serves the movie.

Rated: 2.5/4

Pleasantly surprised at how moved I was by this movie. Show biz is tough, and Ace man directed and starred in this portrayal. Always appreciate tits, and that was a bonus.

I'm a big Carolla fan. This is the only one of his offerings I have ever failed to enjoy. It's a rom-com, and the "com" part had it's moments. But the "rom" part was an embarrassing epic fail.

I wanted to give this one a third of one-quarter of a star, but it doesn't let you move it below half a star. This one makes Repo Man look like Shakespeare in contrast. And I contributed money to the making of this turd from Satan's own flaming cheeks. I am embarrassed and ashamed, and I apologize forthwith to all of humanity. These idiots, Adam Corolla and Kevin Hench, mailed this turd in, and they didn't even have the basic courtesy to scotch tape the envelope shut.
