Dove Review

This movie is “Wayne’s World” meets MTV’s show and movie “Jacka”. Andy Samberg is hilarious as Rod, a young man struggling with his destiny while trying desperately to earn the respect of his step-father Frank. He is encouraged to use his talents as an amateur stuntman to help save the life of his stepfather and hilarity ensues. The film does include some great little catch-phrases and memorable lines.

The movie did not receive the Dove Seal for several reasons. There is a short video clip of animal’s having sex, use of the F word, and a depiction of drug use. None of the stunts showed blood but this movie should definitely not be seen by anyone who may be impressionable enough to try them at home.
