Buy or Rent?
Buy. In the mulleted Kenny Powers, Danny McBride (The Foot Fist Way, Land of the Lost) has an instant icon of a character: profoundly oblivious, arrogant, perpet ually angry—yet still vaguely likable.

Added Value?
Commentary tracks, a making-of featurette, a Kenny Powers demo reel, mock car commercials starring coexecutive producer Will Ferrell, and “Stevie’s Dark Secret.”
