Pluskylang Great Film overall
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
sinam-82657 Just Boring. And I am giving 5 stars only because of some actors whom I admire.(Bradley Cooper , Kristen Bell ,Ryan Hansen ). Why?? 1-Not an interesting story just the same old story that we saw thousands of times . And nothing actually happens in the movie . nothing that makes you sad or happy .just the two main characters that I did not like (I don not know about anyone else ) got everything in the end and nothing unexpected happens in this 1 hour and 41 minutes movie. 2-another thing was the poor choice of music which I think is one of the most important part of a movie .Unfortunately they just used lame musics in chasing scene and that was it . if I want to tell you the reasons that why this movie is boring I can not stop writing for like days . example: for a movie that is connected to awesome cars it did not have a lot of cool cars ( maybe 3 or 2 ) My advice : Do not buy this movie or rent it .watch this only if they are showing it for free and there is not anything better to do .
matildamadison There are so many things I like about this movie. The story is simple and original, not over complicated. Annie has to get to LA for a job interview and Charlie needs to get her there, even though it's really the one place he can't go, but there's so much more going on below the surface of this movie. Many will call it a car movie, or an action, because it does pay homage to some brilliant car chase scenes. Kudos on the music too. Most will call it a comedy because it's funny, in a very authentic way too. But when I saw this film I was surprised at how much more there was to it.I think what I like most is that fact that it's a romance, a romance carefully wrapped up and securely hidden in a action/comedy. For someone who loves Smokey and the Bandit as well as historical romances, with a husband who would watch Predator every night if he could, this is sort of a perfect movie for us. Our movie.
Anthony Iessi While shopping at my local Best Buy, I saw a copy of Hit and Run sitting on the shelf and I just decided to give it a try. I had nothing to lose and nothing to really fear. I figured it would be a light comedy with a lot of action to hold my attention for a good 90 minutes. I came home, pressed play, and watched it. I don't really know how I feel about it. Its not a bad movie, per se. I certainly didn't have a bad time. I was just puzzled at what I had just watched. Its a gooey rom-com with a few intense car chase sequences, peppered with raunchy dialog. Just... so weird! I'll give credit to Dax Shepard for making a totally original slant on an otherwise overdone plot line. But then, once you get past the plot, it gets weirder. The acting, for the most part, is decent. But sometimes, it gets downright terrible. Take for instance, Tom Arnold. He literally shouts his entire dialog and spends most of the movie running wildly around screen with a gun in his hand. Why? I have no idea. Were they going for absurdist humor with that character? or was Tom Arnold just coked up? Whatever the reason, I grew to hate his character... a lot. Then, literally, for no reason whatsoever, we get two scenes involving the main characters stumbling into an elderly orgy. What on god's green earth was that all about? Its as if the movie was spliced together with outtakes from a Sacha Baron Cohen movie, and they figured it would be so shocking, that it just had to be in the movie for a good laugh. It just sat there, dead on screen, in its wrinkly birthday suit. I didn't laugh. Alright, enough with the questions. Lets get down to business. I thought the movie potentially worked and I did laugh more times than I ever thought I would. There is some really funny stuff in here, and its worth checking out to catch them all. I liked Dax Shepard, considering that he was channeling an Owen Wilson type performance. Kristen Bell is always a pleasure to watch watch on screen. We also get a delightfully bizarre performance from Bradley Cooper that entertained me a whole lot. Especially the scene at the supermarket... what an absolutely fantastic scene that was. All in all, Hit and Run is hit and miss, and definitely surreal at times. But not a bad outing at the movies.
whitwarren95 I went into Hit and Run expecting fun, nothing more, and that's what I got! If you want to have a good time, go in with low expectations. The comedy is not laugh out loud and the love story is pretty predictable/flat. What makes this film worth watching is the adventure that Yul "Charlie Bronson" Perkins (Dax Shepard) and his girlfriend Annie (Kristen Bell) find themselves in. Yul's troubled past, which Annie is not fully aware of, brings villain Alex (Bradley Cooper… with dreadlocks!) into the picture and that's right, folks, we have ourselves a chase! A satisfyingly diverse soundtrack increases the quality of the action scenes and packs them with a little more punch. I think it could have used a little more organization and flow but it's not a terrible effort by sophomore directors Shepard and Palmer. While it has a lot of run, it also has just enough HIT to keep you interested.
