one of my absolute favorites!

Expected more

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

No this isn't as mediocre as you're thinking. It isn't. No it's not just another cheesy Hollywood comedy with dense jokes that's all about car-oriented action scenes and a pretty girl. I for example know nothing about cars and don't appreciate by the number American comedies and I really enjoyed this. If anything the title does the film no favors.Dax Shepard, the male lead, actually does surprisingly well as a writer and director. Better than you'd think. In one word, this comedy has great 'balance'. The humor is centered a lot around contemporary social issues like political correctness and its abuse, and Shepard gives in a really good shift of managing to expose the silliness of the whole debate while not really piking any side outright and juggles well with both positions in a way that's properly comedic and fun. The character played by Bradley Cooper is characteristically hilarious in that same sense, he's this tree-hugging eco-friendly extremist psycho who acts as a spoof and as proper plot material at the same time.Some scenes are genuinely funny, a couple proper hilarious, and all in all it's very well paced, very well constructed, dialog as explained is witty and balanced (not too cute, not too thick), the characters are funny and believable despite being like comic book characters, and there's good attention to detail, everything is spelled out or made totally obvious.Very pleasantly surprised: 7.5/10.

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.

I enjoyed this film. Not just because I am a fan of Kristen Bell, though that is part of it. I often like quirky films, and this film has plenty of quirk, thanks to writer and co-director Dax Shepard, who was Kristen's boyfriend during filming, now her husband.Hit & Run is an action comedy. Look at the poster for the movie, with the small photos of the actors and the huge image of a car. That is a clue. Expect lots of cars and car chases, mixed with humor. Think Smoky & The Bandit.One reviewer panned the film because, he said, it's "PC". On the contrary, some viewers may not enjoy the film because Shephard's sense of humor is very non-PC, riffing on some subjects that may make some uncomfortable. Me, I found it funny.A great cast contributes to the chicanery, including Bradley Cooper and Kristen Chenoweth. Tom Arnold plays a U.S. Marshall who is an accident waiting to happen--and the wait is very short. I found his performance to be distracting.Eventually, most of the cast participates in a multi-car chase that--you can tell-was choreographed by a real car lover. Motorheads will appreciate that aspect of the film.I will score this film a modest "6" and hope that Shephard writes another script that is just as big on quirk, but maybe a little more focused.

Well, at starters I'd give 10/10 to Kristen Bell and other 10/10 for the Lincoln Continental that sadly disappeared too soon from the plot. The movie is fun to watch, full of turns and Kristen Bell just shines. She is not so much of a "serious actor" (because she is so cute, I guess), but does one of the most enjoyable acts in movies here. I wish the new project of the new Veronica Mars movie comes true... I did contribute a little. Sadly the end of the movie is like from 80's stupid comedies. Suddenly the movie turns into a some sentimental drama, like as the director didn't know how to end a comedy. Anyways: this is a pretty good movie in the beginning, but somehow it just doesn't get to the end. I recommend this movie as a great comedy for all of us who heart Kristen Bell, but when you take Kristen Bell and the Car out of this, it is not so much of anything after all.
