UNEASY RIDER Samberg offers a few small laughs in Hot Rod, which never really gets up to cruising speed

Credits

Release Date: Aug 03, 2007; Rated: PG-13; Length: 88 Minutes; Genres: Action/Adventure, Comedy; With: Ian McShane and Andy Samberg

Hot Rod's highlight features the hero — a moped-riding Evel Knievel wannabe (Andy Samberg) — doing a dance in a forest that looks like '70s-spastic Steve Martin reinterpreting Footloose. There are a few other minor laugh sequences in this puttering vehicle for the affable SNL viral-video star Samberg of ''Lazy Sunday'' fame, but most of them (like a long goof on the phrase ''Cool beans!'') don't really flow into the otherwise conventional frame of the movie. Wait until the best parts pop up on YouTube.
