StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

robbedwardmorris-28883 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!

bowmanblue Hit and Run is written, directed and stars Dax Shepard as 'Charles Bronson' - a man who lives under the Witness Protection Scheme, but leaves his newfound identity to drive his girlfriend across America to get to an important job interview in Los Angeles.It's a road movie where he falls foul with just about everyone he comes to meet (and has met), leading them to chase him until the bitter end.If you read the other reviews, you'll find that people either love or hate the film. Some find it completely unfunny, while others describe it as the perfect (low-budget) date movie. I'm somewhere in the middle. I certainly didn't find it a classic. There were some funny moments, but they were too thin on the ground for the film to fall into an out and out comedy, plus Tom Arnold's character was just trying too hard to be whacky and just ended up being annoying. However, no matter how annoying his character was, he was easy to get along with compared to the leading lady. She came across as 'whiter than white' and way too preachy.A lot of people have pointed to its dialogue being 'too politically correct' and bashed the movie for being nothing more than 'liberal propaganda.' I didn't really pick up on this, but apparently it annoyed quite a few people.All in all, it's not a bad film. It has its funny moments and a few exciting chases. Bradley Cooper shines in every scene he's in (clearly enjoying playing something other than his 'good-boy' image), but he's not in it enough.It's not a bad way to spend an evening, although it could possibly be a little shorter, as it does tend to drag in the middle.

mindcatcher7 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.

atlasmb 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.
