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.

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.

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
