Watched this movie last night. Tough one. Looks like a Waynes World meets Napolean Dynamite. IF you like those type of movies, this one may be for you.
Effectively Rod believes that he comes from a line of daredevils and in order to save his stepdad decides to do a stunt to raise the money, get the girl, etc.
After seeing him in Deadwood, I wondered what Ian McShane was doing in this movie. He seemed to be a waste to talent. I hope he was paid well.
I'd rather watch reruns of Waynes World or ND before seeing this again. Spend your money elsewhere.
