Leave your thoughts about Road Hard.
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoThe man who made girls jump on trampolines delivers better rom-coms than the rest of Hollywood. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperI 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. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThis engaging, funny, affecting comedy about career fatigue and unsatisfying relationships feels like the love child of Louis C.K. and Judd Apatow, who specialize in great sad-sack standups. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThis feature directing debut for Adam Carolla and frequent writing/producing collaborator Kevin Hench is an amiable, nicely assembled semi-autobiographical fiction that will please the former’s fans. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsMuch of the character's angst comes off as celebrity whining. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerRoad Hard is funny enough, and if its hum is predictable at times, its humanness is a welcome zinger. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreA mildly unconventional love story drags Road Hard to a most conventional conclusion. But Carolla gets a lot of stuff about his career choice off his chest, sometimes hilariously, in this hits-too-close-to-home comedy. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniRoad Hard, partly funded through crowd-sourcing, is an enjoyable picture. It's sure to appeal to Man Show fans, though it withers when compared to another recent film about a has-been comic directed by its star, Chris Rock's remarkable Top Five. |
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterComedy plus tragedy equals boredom in Adam Carolla's crowdfunded star vehicle. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonRoad Hard has enough spiky moments to make it worth a watch. |
