Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star (2011)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Sometimes I wonder if all you; sadist, internet Nazis, give Adam Sandler bad ratings because he is Jewish. This movie made me laugh so hard I was crying. I have not laughed that hard in many years. That alone warrants me to write this review. Nick Swardson is so very funny to me; always. His performance in Blades of Glory was stellar. His Comedy Central stand up appearance; was pretty good. With some work he could be really great at stand up.. Christina Ricci was really great too. Her expressions were so convincing. She really made me think she was a all American wholesome girl; through the whole movie. Don Johnson was also so entertaining; his performance alone would have made this movie great. Kevin Nealon as Gary; was just icing on the cake.

Me and my GF watched this on cable last night and we both enjoyed the experience. Light hearted and positive we found it a restated belief in humankind. The shattering of stereotypes and the inclusive nature of the storyline was refreshing. The fact that men masturbate was not dodged or hinted it was an obvious fact and even in a group scene was not reflected as homo-erotic just as being a natural. I particularly liked the way the parent/son relationship was portrayed. Mom and Pop, even though they had starred in porno back in the day, came across as loving proud parents and Bucky had obviously embraced good social values.The normalization of the porn industry was well handled and yet the essential goodness of faithfulness was also brought to the fore.All in all an amusing evening and the enjoyment of seeing some sensitive issues handled with a deft touch. Hats off to everybody involved.

Scientists say that nature abhors a vacuum. But a comedic vacuum has managed to survive inside the mind of Adam Sandler and his co-creators. This film doesn't stop at the bottom of the barrel for its sheer stupidity, but lands about three floors below the barrel. It is miscatagorized as a comedy because there's absolutely nothing funny about it. The oddball lead character – who looks like the love child between Prince Valliant and a beaver -- is as annoying as nails on a chalkboard. The CIA should use outtakes of him for torturing confessions out of terrorists. The film's ongoing orgasm/ejaculation shtick is utterly tasteless and just makes you queasy. This is the most pathetic waste of celluloid I've seen in a very long time.This box office flop must have come straight out of one a Sandler's pubescent wet dreams.

When I first went to see this movie I had rather low expectations, I thought this would be something fun to pass the time with, nothing fancy.I have seen some bad movies in my life but I can safely say that this is one of the worst movies (if not the single worst one) I've ever seen. The jokes were really stale, and they somehow managed to move things really fast but in a long and boring way.This was one and a half hour of pure torture and I do not recommend it, not one bit. I rarely make a review for a movie and even more rarely do I give only one star, but this film deserved it. Just don't waste your time on it.
