There are shades of Napoleon Dynamite in this film but then again there are fleeting moments of humor but that doesn't mean this movie is worth seeing. Watching this film is difficult, I felt as if I were watching a group of people who knew they weren't being funny. Its like watching a comedian bomb on stage. Its unpleasant for them and unpleasant for the audience. No one wins.

Created by Saturday Night Live's Adam Sandberg and his Lonely Island crew, this film follows a loser who sets up a stunt jump on his crappy moped so he can raise money for his stepdad's heart surgery. Even the premise falls flat.

You most likely ignored this when it was released, its probably best that you keep it that way. To be fair, there's an amusing final act but the vast desert you have to trudge through to get to it is too much to ask. Ultimately, this movie just doesn't make the effort worth your time.
