  When I first heard about this movie and about how good it is I just thought "it can't be all it's cracked up to be!" I watched it and went home with an aching stomach from all the laughing. The actors fit the roles perfectly and the plot is brilliant. The storyline of the film is basically of this boy called rod Kimble (Andy Samberg) in his late teens who is in his crew and does stunts which the crew members all help to make happen. Rico (Danny McBride) builds the ramps, Dave, (bill hader) is the mechanic and Kevin, (jorma taccone) rods half brother, is the team manager. Through the film you can tell that rod really fancies Denise (isla Fischer) and loves it when she joins his so called crew. Rod finds out that his step-dad, frank, is dying from a heart problem and needs 50,000 dollars for the operation. Rod decides that he and his followers will raise the money by doing one big jump. Fifteen buses! One more than evil knevil jumped all those years back. An am radio station sponsors this jump and he crashes but still makes it to the target of fifty grand. He gets together with his dream girl, Denise. It"s the best film I"ve seen in years and years.

Comedy about an amateur stuntman's convoluted attempt to win the respect of his stepfather. When his stepfather Frank (Ian McShane) needs an urgent transplant to save his life, inept stuntman Rod Kimble (Andy Samberg) decides to jump the big one (15 buses) in an attempt to raise enough money for the operation. Rod has an ulterior motive though, hoping Frank's recovery will give him one more chance to defeat him in a fight, thereby earning the tough old boot's respect.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE star Andy Samberg is a stuntman with a mission in this comedy from producer Lorne Michaels. Rod Kimble must jump over 15 buses on his bike to raise money for an operation for his less-than-lovable stepdad (DEADWOOD's Ian McShane).
