This trailer sucked

The only qualification for someone to be able to judge a film is having paid money and seen the film in its entirety.

If what you say is true than we can never critique the taste of the food we order in restaurant or the music of Kanye West. You don't have to participate in an actual NBA game to deem the New York Knickerbockers an awful basketball team.

I understand your sentiment of Adam putting in a lot of effort in making the movie happen. I think we all appreciate that. However, we'd just be doing wrong by Adam not to tell him to do better with his directing and editing for his next project.

As fans of Adam, we all want him to make more and make better movies in the future. If we don't tell him to fire the editor and the sound guy from Road Hard, how does he know how to improve on his next project?

I also noticed how there were almost zero camera movement in the film. It was talking head, talking head, establish location, talking head, talking head. I have seen higher production values in YouTube videos.

Sorry Aceman, still love the podcast!

It may be that Adam had very little money to actually get a cinematographer. He probably couldn't afford to do tracking shots. Also, the stilted dialogue, the wry humor and motionless camera really seem represent how Adam view the world. Since he is one stop shop for this film, a LOT of the quirks with editing and direction is just ADAM being ADAM.

From his ACS and Loveline, we all know he is incredibly insightful. From the tidbits in Road Hard alone, we know that Adam is introspective and understand emotions. However, he really has issues shining light on all the sensitive, touchy-feeling parts of his psyche. He had always been very awkward in talking about himself. In Road Hard, every time we get close breaking through and getting real character development with Bruce; Adam puts in a crass scene with Teddy Pendergrast. Just when hew as to spend quality time fully embraced and vulnerable with the love interest, Adam stuffs up that hole with a plot device called "Blue Balls".

I just wish Adam, or Bruce would just develop his character with humor happening naturally versus pushing the plot toward the next Carolla rant with a meager attempt at character development.

I still love Adam Carolla the brilliant podcaster and host of Loveline to which I owe my entire love/sex/relationship knowledge to. I've still not warmed up to Jules Dash regardless of how many wool scarves he wraps around his stubbled chin and neck.
