Hot Rod Reviews (Good)
- IGN: Hot Rod Review (6/10)
- "Backhanded compliment though it may seem, Hot Rod is Andy Samberg's Billy Madison: a movie too amateurishly executed to "actually" be good, but effective enough to hint at the potential charm and talent of its star"
- San Francisco Chronicle: Hot Rod Reviews
- "The creators have harnessed everything that's good about YouTube, and translated it into a big-screen movie."
- FilmCritic: Hot Rod Reviews (3.5/5)
- "But the appeal of Hot Rod is simpler than viral internet paradigm shifts: it is a very silly movie with a nature equal parts good and strange."
- Los Angeles Times: Hot Rod Reviews
- "Much of the humor in "Hot Rod" consists of "Jackass"-caliber gags that often result in bodily injury. At least the gags hang together as a viable plot."
- TV Guide: Hot Rod Reviews (2.5/4)
- "Filled with a random assortment throwaway gags, dumb pranks gone awry and Final Cut Pro cutups, HOT ROD is a little like a leisurely surf through YouTube"
- IGN: Hot Rod Review (6/10)

Hot Rod Reviews (Bad)
- Entertainment Weekly: Hot Rod Reviews (C+)
- "Wait until the best parts pop up on YouTube."
- Houston Chronicle: Hot Rod Reviews (1.5/4)
- "All of these scenes go on two beats too long, but again, they're supposed to."
- Maxim: Hot Rod Reviews (1.5/5)
- "The filmmakers were apparently trying to cash in on the surprise success of offbeat movies like Napoleon Dynamite and the dopey Nacho Libre"
- E! Online: Hot Rod Reviews (C)
- "SNL golden boy Andy Samberg makes the leap from small screen to big, and nearly falls on his face. Actually, he falls a lot in Hot Rod, but this stuntman farce simply isn't worth falling for."
- Reel.com: Hot Rod Review (0/4)
- "Of course, the problem with this theory is that parody is supposed to be funny—which immediately disqualifies Hot Rod as a possible example of the form."
