Killing Hasselhoff

I watched this movie solely for the fact that I had no idea Jim Jeffries ever began acting (second funniest standup comedian behind Bill Burr in my opinion) and figured he helped write the script but unfortunately, he did not. As a result, it was nowhere near as funny as it could or should have been but Colton Dunn (Redix) did have two very hilarious scenes which provided as the only funny parts of the movie. The movie is not boring or dull but lacking in comedy and jokes which is what I base any comedy movie's greatness on. From Ken Jeong to David Hasselhoff, Rick Fox, Kid Cudi, and even a cameo by Justin Bieber, there was enough star power to make it interesting but the screenwriting was lacking which was unfortunate. The movie had a great concept, though. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but you should enjoy it if you decide to watch it after all.

I like Hasselhoff - he's not afraid to make fun of his image and has done some really good stuff in recent years.

But this film is pure junk right from the outset.

The acting is awful and the comedy unfunny. Whoever the lead character is (can't be bothered looking him up) is not a good actor and is ridiculously childish in the way he tries to force humour where there isn't any.

Don't bother wasting time or money on this rubbish.

This film, I imagine, is meant to be a raunchy black comedy. Well, it certainly is raunchy as well as lewd, crude, and, in my opinion, terribly unfunny.

Ken Jeong stars here as Chris, whose life is in shambles and sees his only way out is to kill David Hasselhoff and win his Celebrity Death Pool, which has grown to over 500 thousand dollars.

There are some decent performances here such as Will Sasso as a loan shark, Colton Dunn as a gay hit-man, and Hasselhoff does well parodying himself.

However, it just all added up to me as painful to watch silliness. Mercifully, it's only 1 hr. and 20 min.in length.

Lighten up people.

Probably the most non-PC movie made in recent times, this is a very funny film.

I don't think anyone escape ridicule. This script goes after everybody.

Hasselhoff is fantastic, skewering himself and his image with abandon and Jeong is great as well.

For those who want to laugh and won't mind the jokes, this is perfect.

I must admit that at first glance, at the title alone, I went "nah". This movie was sort of a either it fails horribly or it turns out to be a stroke of genius. And with that in mind, I sat down to watch "Killing Hasselhoff" from writer Peter Hoare and director Darren Grant.

Well, I can honestly say that the movie had an interestingly enough concept that it was founded upon, but the story of the movie just never really found its footing and it ended up as something that really didn't live up to what it could have been and failed to deliver where it could he delivered so much more.

Despite having performances from the likes of Ken Jeong, Jim Jefferies and David Hasselhoff himself, then the movie just settled on a flat mediocre speed. I must say that it was definitely the performance of Ken Jeong that carried the movie for the most part.

"Killing Hasselhoff" turned out to be a movie that was seriously lacking funny situations that would bring about laughs. If it had more top notch comedy, then it would have made for a more wholesome movie. My final rating of "Killing Hasselhoff" has to be a very generic and mediocre five out of ten stars, because this was bland. So very, very bland...
