Killing Hasselhoff

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.

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

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...

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.

This film really only works if you are massively into David Hasselhoff, or if references, nostalgia and cameos are your absolute favourite parts of a movie. This has all that in spades!

Apart from that there really isn't that much ucg esle to offer here. It's not really all that funny and the story is all over the place.

Overall it's a pretty brainless comedy that relies on references to get it through, if you just want to turn your brain off then it's fine, but that's about it.
