I found Road Hard to be a low-key gem, a consistently funny albeit conventional story about a guy who’s almost always the funniest person in the room, and is almost always his own worst enemy. Read full review

While most likely to appeal primarily to the comic's die-hard fans — and there are still plenty of them these days, thanks to his hugely popular podcast — Road Hard offers genuine laughs while displaying real heart along the way. Read full review

Road Hard is funny enough, and if its hum is predictable at times, its humanness is a welcome zinger. Read full review

Supporting turns by Philip Rosenthal and David Alan Grier as two pals in the business are fun, but they can't prevent the movie's rather aimless nature or self-indulgent feel. Read full review

It's the movie's slow drift toward happiness, though, when Bruce meets a widow (Diane Farr) with a sweetly razzing sense of humor that spurs a more refreshing less patently abrasive comedy from Carolla. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Though Carolla and co-filmmaker Kevin Hench devise some funny situations — particularly, the one in which a newly divorced woman insists on coming back to his room — the overall feeling that comes across is one of sadness, and that seems intentional. Read full review

You can make a movie that’s both sweet and crass; just look at Judd Apatow’s comedies. But the mix doesn’t work here, maybe because both the vulgarity and the cheesiness are so amped up. Read full review

Road Hard rings true. It tells a story that has all the lumps and laughs you've come to know and love and hate about life. Adam Carolla is not a natural born actor and it shows, but he tries and tries and gives it all he has to make it work... and it works. Carolla is a love him or hate himRoad Hard rings true.

Adam Carolla is not a natural born actor and it shows, but he tries and tries and gives it all he has to make it work... and it works. Carolla is a love him or hate him kind of personality. If you don't hate him, you'll love this movie. Otherwise, just change your dial.… Expand

As an Adam Carolla "fan", I enjoy listening to his ranting on podcasts, sometimes, the essence of which is completely missing from the film, Road Hard. On his podcasts and classic Loveline, when at his most entertaining and interesting, Adam Carolla is spontaneous and unhinged. In the filmAs an Adam Carolla "fan", I enjoy listening to his ranting on podcasts, sometimes, the essence of which is completely missing from the film, Road Hard. On his podcasts and classic Loveline, when at his most entertaining and interesting, Adam Carolla is spontaneous and unhinged. In the film he is quite the opposite, coming across as rigid; a stiff actor, indeed. But it is not only the Carolla performance, but the entire film emits a wooden aura. The film may have benefitted from a looser, improvisational style exhibited in a show like Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, because of Adam's very similar comedic style and acting ability (or lack thereof).… Expand

To summarize in a word? Crap. Perhaps the funniest element that you can get some shred of entertainment from is laughing at how funny Adam Carolla thinks he is
