a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Ok! I love stories about artists - writers, poets, artists, musicians, comedians - but I really didn't expect to like this. Two of the writers are also the directors and one of the writers is also the star! Recipe for disaster!Except it's not quite. It's billed simplay as a comedy but it's more a delayed rom com. The progression through the story is engaging. Adam Carolla (who I have never heard of, unlike some reviewers here) plays an excellent part and Diane Farr is simply brilliant as the love interest. The other actors are excellent, too, even those in bit pats and there are far too many to mention.It may not be a laugh-out-loud movie - that depends on your frame of mind when watching it - but it is 'amusing' and it did keep me watching. It's a solid piece of work and if you enjoy a touch of rom with your com or simply like to see a little of the world of stand up then this will be worth your while.

First I am surprised the movie had a budget of 1.5 million dollars without any hi-fi's.,.The story is good, the main character played well! For those who love nude scenes, they will be happy with sudden appearance of actress Aria London great naked boobs covering entire screen in the swimming pool!!! Hard to see :)

' ' ' Yeah! One of the few movies I've had laugh-out-loud moments in, for years.Carolla really nails the mid-life crisis moments of a career gone off the rails, slowly, inexorably, unexplainably, or really never having one, as one turns the corner in life to realize it ain't gonna happen. Every man will recognise Carolla's character, sack-kicks, the humiliation and smile to themselves. The smoking/credit card scene is worth the price of admission.They don't make movies like this anymore—Although they just did, eh?—as it's just a decent story, with good character development.John Candy used do flicks like this, that didn't do box-office boffo, but were just good little flicks.I think this'll do a lot better in rotation, than it did in the theatres.It's for a different audience than your action-oriented fan but well worth the time.SweetDoug

Not sure how anyone can do a spoiler alert most who watch this will be fans will have heard each bit 20 times. So as someone that listens to his podcast I feel like I have heard every single bit in the movie. I basically rented a movie version of his podcast. And the worst part is Adam always hammers the hack moves of Hollywood but then he does a movie with hack moves. Downtrodden dude meets girl? Got it. Dude is forced to make a hard choice and we watch him think long and hard about a decision? Yep there he is pushing his broom at an apparently very difficult small pile of wood shavings. Cheesy manager? Yep and worst part is Adam talked about the wigs so much that it wasn't even interesting to me by the time I saw the movie. He just goes from podcast bit to podcast bit. If you listen to the show you basically got a full on preview the last 6 months as he jammed each bit at least 3 times. Dogs on planes? At least 5 different 20 minute rants. Teddy Pendergast played by DAG? So many times I lost count. I admit that bit is funny. Anyhow the movie is one tacky Hollywood scheme after another. And frankly he sucked at the stuff he bags on all the time. And Adam just cannot act- Road Hard is exactly the same character as The Hammer and both sound and look a lot like him on his 2 shows and it made me realize that something very sad is going on here Adam has low self esteem and beats himself up. He is often a broken record and even when he interviews guests he spends much more time talking about himself. I guess if you aren't a fan of the show the movie may seem like a cute indie flick. And most fans of the show are rabid so they'll love it. And bad reviews will be dismissed. I recently stopped listening to the show due to the repetitive nature of it. I don't have it out for Adam I just honestly thought it was a really bad movie. I gave it a 4 but I think I am being generous. Sorry Adam you blew it.
