Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
shakercoola The sudden shift in tone to romance feels a little forced to achieve a story arc. It feels too convenient, and there isn't much chemistry between the two actors. There is a poignancy to the film, however, and some of the scenes where he performs stand-up are funny for what goes wrong with the set. Trouble is, the standup routines that are trying to be funny, are not very funny, and the other comedians don't seem very funny for what they offer - and this was unintentional I think. Road Hard just feels like it is made with the conventions of a sitcom rather than a movie.
Ian Ok! I love stories about artists - writers, poets, artists, musicians, comedians - but I really didn't expect to like this. Two of the writers are also the directors and one of the writers is also the star! Recipe for disaster!Except it's not quite. It's billed simplay as a comedy but it's more a delayed rom com. The progression through the story is engaging. Adam Carolla (who I have never heard of, unlike some reviewers here) plays an excellent part and Diane Farr is simply brilliant as the love interest. The other actors are excellent, too, even those in bit pats and there are far too many to mention.It may not be a laugh-out-loud movie - that depends on your frame of mind when watching it - but it is 'amusing' and it did keep me watching. It's a solid piece of work and if you enjoy a touch of rom with your com or simply like to see a little of the world of stand up then this will be worth your while.
Mims I think Ace is genius in all ways and this movie is no exception.For all these crappy reviews,(and reviewers) people just don't seem to understand how he thinks. To make a movie with funds raised by fans is no small feat! So resembling his life and true hardships. Loved it! Love the Ace Man.......👊👍
Cuomofo First off, I think that Adam Carolla is hilarious and listen to his Podcast almost daily. However, when watching this movie, I felt as though I was watching his Podcast playing out in cinema form. Now, this probably wouldn't be a bad thing for viewers who do not listen to his Podcast. Almost every bit/joke in the movie I have literally heard over and over from his podcast.The funniest bits from the movie are when Adam is telling jokes during live stand up shows in the comedy clubs. I know it's a comedy but some things are just over the top, like the portrayal of his quirky Agent Baby Doll. How many wig jokes can you make in a movie? This movie was very disappointing and in my opinion not very funny regardless of every joke already being heard on his podcasts. I know Adam is not an actor per say, but he's bad in this movie. He shows almost no emotion and he's very stiff throughout the entire movie. The supporting actors are also not very funny.I really wanted to like this movie because I think that Adam Carolla is a comical genius, but in reality, he needs to stick to his Podcast and TV shows because being an actor in movies is not in his wheelhouse.
