It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

There's always the movie and the "movie" behind making the movie. I liked them both. I watched the film twice. Dax Sheppard is hilarious! Bravo to him for putting it together. He conceived a baby and made it grow. "Hit and Run" is a fun ride. Knowing what went into making the film made it all the more fun to watch. He used his own girl, his own cars, his own friends, and his own script. This is not always recommended. In fact, most of the time it's highly discouraged because it is often laced with conceit. But when the effort is laced with love, there is a much better chance of making it work. That's the case with "Hit and Run". I love this movie because I felt the love that went into making it. And it's funny too. Hearing Bradly Cooper tell about taking one for the team and Dax's character's reaction is priceless!

From my summary line above, you could probably tell that I didn't think that "Hit and Run" was a movie to actively seek out. But in the circumstances that I watched it - a dull day where I had nothing else better to do - I did find it an acceptable way to pass the time. It does have some faults, mainly with the script. I thought that the story was somewhat stretched out; there was no way the movie had to spend so much time setting things up as well as executing some major plot turns, especially since the story did have some predictable touches. But while the story is stretched out, it all the same wasn't boring or possessing any particularly stupid stuff. Also, the level of comedy, while seldom laugh-out-loud funny, was competent enough to give the movie a pleasant mood as well as give viewers a smile on their lips. I'll probably forget all of what I saw in the movie during the next few weeks... but I will remember it engaged me well enough while I was watching it.

A great popcorn flick. The leads have strong chemistry, tom arnold is terrific as always - an underutilised talent in my view, ever since True Lies - and a plot line that - while no epic - is actually quite different from anything i've seen before.Brad Cooper's ethical debate on the merits of dog food and dick hansen's (word up Neptune) back flip are high lights.Might become a slight cult film just because of all those small edit flaws - but it never gets in the way of a highly enjoyable hours of entertainment.Humour, pathos, action.

While shopping at my local Best Buy, I saw a copy of Hit and Run sitting on the shelf and I just decided to give it a try. I had nothing to lose and nothing to really fear. I figured it would be a light comedy with a lot of action to hold my attention for a good 90 minutes. I came home, pressed play, and watched it. I don't really know how I feel about it. Its not a bad movie, per se. I certainly didn't have a bad time. I was just puzzled at what I had just watched. Its a gooey rom-com with a few intense car chase sequences, peppered with raunchy dialog. Just... so weird! I'll give credit to Dax Shepard for making a totally original slant on an otherwise overdone plot line. But then, once you get past the plot, it gets weirder. The acting, for the most part, is decent. But sometimes, it gets downright terrible. Take for instance, Tom Arnold. He literally shouts his entire dialog and spends most of the movie running wildly around screen with a gun in his hand. Why? I have no idea. Were they going for absurdist humor with that character? or was Tom Arnold just coked up? Whatever the reason, I grew to hate his character... a lot. Then, literally, for no reason whatsoever, we get two scenes involving the main characters stumbling into an elderly orgy. What on god's green earth was that all about? Its as if the movie was spliced together with outtakes from a Sacha Baron Cohen movie, and they figured it would be so shocking, that it just had to be in the movie for a good laugh. It just sat there, dead on screen, in its wrinkly birthday suit. I didn't laugh. Alright, enough with the questions. Lets get down to business. I thought the movie potentially worked and I did laugh more times than I ever thought I would. There is some really funny stuff in here, and its worth checking out to catch them all. I liked Dax Shepard, considering that he was channeling an Owen Wilson type performance. Kristen Bell is always a pleasure to watch watch on screen. We also get a delightfully bizarre performance from Bradley Cooper that entertained me a whole lot. Especially the scene at the supermarket... what an absolutely fantastic scene that was. All in all, Hit and Run is hit and miss, and definitely surreal at times. But not a bad outing at the movies.
