Why I want my money back.......

1. Dax Shepard was horrible as a leading man. Horrible.

2. Kristen Bell was annoying.

3. I thought Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell did a horrible job pretending to have chemistry on-screen. Then I did a bit of research on the movie (after I saw it) and found out they've been together since 2007! Yikes. It made me hate the movie even more.

4. This was clearly Dax Shepard writing, directing and starring in a movie in which he tried to make himself into a tough-guy leading man. He failed; miserably.

5. Tom Arnold, who I think is hilarious, was annoying and unfunny in this movie.

6. Characters that seemed important to the plot seemed to just appear out of nowhere with no back story (ie..... the 3rd member of the crime group trying to find Dax's character)

7. The movie spewed flat-out racist crap. Sorry, I don't find pontifications by Dax Shepard about how white men are women to blacks and asian men being women to white men to be funny at all. It was disturbing, uncomfortable to sit through with my wife and clearly a manifestation of Dax Shepard's insecurity as a man and his issues with coexisting with other races.

8. Bradley Cooper was wasted as a clownish, unbelievable gangster

9. The scene where Bradley Cooper beat up the body-builder........ yeah right. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten that leash off and kicked that characters butt. And I'm no body builder.

10. Did I mention that the first 15 minutes of the movie was boring and unwatchable? No? Oh, sorry, it was. Unless you consider Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell canoodling and baby talking one-another to be entertaining.

------ Ya know what? I could sit here and completely tear this movie apart. But, this post is already long and I'm not going to waste anymore of my time. I'll leave the reader with this........ I have a life. Writing posts on this website is not really part of that life. This movie was not just bad, it actually made me HATE it. I do. I HATE this movie. I knew nothing about Dax Shepard outside of Punk'd before watching this; and I now hate him. I want my money back. Yeah, after popcorn and candy I only spent $25 for a chance to be alone with my wife for 2 hours...... but still, I feel like I got ripped off. Don't see this movie.

Your (I have a life rant) deserves a...Nice story bro...so nice story bro

[–] daboss216 12 years ago

Maybe I went a bit above and beyond just to rip on a movie. There are so many bad movies out there, but this one is different. For whatever reason it went to a new level with me.

I guess I don't want anyone else to waste their money on a movie that I only sat through because my wife and I had already arranged for a babysitter.

So basically you are p*ssed off because you spent a ton ($25) on a night out with your wife, went to see a movie you both didn't like just one bit, but you were too cheap to get up and take her dancing or having a drink somewhere. And then in the end you probably didn't get any...

Ow, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

I completely agree with daboss, I thought this movie was boring.

I haven't seen the movie and I don't plan do so, but I find it somewhat amusing that Roger Ebert gave Hit and Run 3 & 1/2 stars while the users at his website gave it a 2 star average. Maybe Rog has a thing for Kristen. 30 of the 74 movies he has reviewed that are still in theaters, a figure of 40%, have a rating of 3 & 1/2 or 4 stars (4 being the highest rating) which seems like a rather high figure.

Ebert, in my opinion, has always been an enormously overrated movie critic. I really don't know or get why he's held as being the standard for film critics the world over.

[–] jondoe888 11 years ago

Roger IS the standard for movie reviewers. The fact that he is viewed as such, and you 'don't get it', says a lot. But it's OK not to like Roger. Or understand his reviews. There are many other reviewers out there to enjoy. Just as we don't all agree on movies, we may not agree on reviewers.
Roger has always been my gold standard. There is a reason for his fame.

This movie was better than the other crap I've watch recently like the new Silent Hill.

[–] cultfilmfreaksdotcom 11 years ago

During the opening scene where they're under the covers talking, I had my finger poised on the EJECT button on my remote. It was really grating on the nerves.
