Killing Hasselhoff

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.

Such a spectacular film in regards to message and scope it was brilliant the brilliantly casted cast is brilliant. David Hasselhod is still the king of the ring and will never ever take a ding i love it. Last time i watched a movie this great was when i saw joe dirt for the first time in theatres wow what an experience i can go on and on and on about joe dirt but i wont. Killing hasselhoff was the best movie since joe dirt 2

If you are looking for a plot synapses, there isn't one. The movie is one giant chain reaction. There are a lot of running jokes, each building up to a hilarious climax of absurdity. Hasselhoff spoofs himself amazingly well. I was never a Baywatch or Knightrider fan, so whatever inside jokes there were about those series was lost on me. However big Hasselhoff fans I'm sure would enjoy the movie even more. The movie takes a lot of pokes at Hollywood, adventure movies, PC culture, LA culture, even Ted Nudgent. Does so not in a mean spirited way though. It's sad that the craft of comedy has fallen so silent. Basically hour and a half fart jokes is what most comedies are about. This one offers plenty of slapstick but also more subtle jokes. Most of all it has a Robin Williamsesqu love of how absurd life is. In the end it's just fun. No politics, no preaching, no agenda, just a fun time and plenty of laughs.

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.

If a movie makes me laugh several times, I can be very forgiving. And while not gut busters, they were outright honest chuckles. It has the look of a low budget, no name(s), made for TV (or straight to DVD video), and the story-line is pretty trite, but the actors do their jobs and that makes the movie entertaining.
