Hit and Run is a fun, raunchy, politically incorrect, slapstick comedy, with a great chase scene.  Co-directed, co-written and starring Dax Shepard as Charlie Bronson, a former getaway driver turned informant.  He is hiding out in a rural neighborhood, shacked up with his beautiful girlfriend, Annie (Kristen Bell), a local college professor.

Annie’s boss, Debbie (Kristin Chenoweth), a prescription pill pushing administrator at the college, gets her an interview for her dream job at a high profile college in Los Angeles. Problem is, that is the scene of Charlie’s crimes. If he returns, he runs the risk of seeing his old partners who want to see him dead.

Hit and Run couldn’t be classified as a romantic comedy if Charlie didn’t risk it all for love.  He decides to take his 1967 Lincoln Continental out of storage (a remnant from his days as a getaway driver) and take Annie to her interview in Los Angeles.  Annie has a stalker ex-boyfriend, Gil (Michael Rosenbaum), who wants Annie back and will stop at nothing to get her.  He knows Charlie is in Witness Protection and takes it upon himself to call his former associates to let them know Charlie is headed back to LA.

When his past partners in crime catch up with him there are some excellent car chase scenes, however the banter between Annie and Charlie is a little bothersome.  When someone is chasing you with intent to kill, are you really going to be yelling about a little lie?

Overall Hit and Run is a fun time at the movies; it has some great chase scenes, fantastic cinematography, and raunchy jokes. Even Tom Arnold was a surprising hilarious gem in the movie.   However, Hit and Run has its share of problems too; the second half of the movie drags, as charming as Kristen Bell is her character gets a little annoying at times, and it was a little forgettable, I completely forgot I even saw the movie until I sat down to write this review.

Hit and Run is worth a matinee price, or a dollar theater.
