Hot Rod Movie
Rod Kimble (Andy Samberg) aspires to follow in the footsteps of his courageous father, a successful and respectable stuntman who died while performing a dangerous stunt. Rod fancies himself the world's greatest stuntman, but, objectively speaking, he is not very good at that. His abusive stepfather Frank (Ian McShane) doesn't respect him as a man and thus mocks at him at every opportunity, but Rod keeps doing stunts, desperately trying to land jumps with his bike. When Rod learns that his stepdad needs a heart transplant which demands $50,000, he comes up with a brilliant idea to raise the money by jumping 15 parked buses on a motorbike. Will the klutzy Rod manage both to save Frank's life and win his respect?
