Director : Akiva Schaffer
Running Time : 88 mins

Rod Kimble (Samberg) is a wannabe stuntman who wants to follow in hisdead father's footsteps, so when he discovers that his much hated stepfather Frank (McShane) is dieing, he decides to raise the money for his lifesaving operation by performing a series of death defying stunts so he can finally prove himself to him and still have the opportunity to kick his ass. But when he finds out that his real father wasn't a stuntman at all, Rod starts to think about throwing it all in.

This movie was okay, but not as funny as I hoped. Basically the jokes revolve entirely around Rod repeatedly hurting himself throughout the movie, with his friends there for barely effectual comic relief. If you like watching movies where people just fall over, then this would probably be right up your street, but otherwise steer clear.
