Superstar (1999)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

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

Superstar is the not so hit movie starring Molly Shannon and co starring Will Ferrell in one of the first movies they did together. The movie is about Mary Katherine Gallagher and all she wants in life is a Hollywood kiss but she realises that to get that she needs to be like the people in the movies. The movie is funny on many bases and Will Ferrell's character just held it together beautifully. The movie is definitely a must watch for fans of Saturday Night Live or Saturday Night Live skit turned Movies and Molly Shannon/Will Ferrell shows. Overall this movie is funny the whole way through and Will Ferrell's character was excellently petried. I rate this 74%.

Loved this movie as a kid, now I find it just too boring and unfunny now that I understand the jokes better. This is a movie that will make you wish you have never recorded it of a VHS. That's what I did a while back. And now my sister has it on DVD. The movie is unfunny. It reminds me of a cheap little comedy show with only fourteen people in the audience.Mary Katherine Gallagher always wanted to be a superstar. She decided to enter the talent show. She and her geeky friends decide to do it together. They practice with Mary's grandmother who at first didn't want her to do the talent show because Mary's parents died at a tapdancing contest. They fell and people tapdanced on them. Although that doesn't really make sense because people would see them and stop trampling them.In the end, she doesn't want to kiss the popular guy and kisses the weird man with the motorbike. That is basically the only good part about this movie.I do not recommend this movie unless you liked what I just typed. Because this movie is unfunny.

I saw this movie mainly because of Will Ferrell and boy does it deserve it's low IMDb rating. Molly Shannon manages to create a comedy vacuum around herself with NO funny moments for her central character FOR THE ENTIRE MOVIE. Quite a feat. But, the weak script can take the most of the blame. You'd think one of the writers from Seinfeld (Steve Koren) would come up with something better than this garbage. Molly Shannon french kissing a tree or a stop sign is not funny! The only kudos can go to Will Ferrell, who reprises his Roxbury-style character to great effect, silly dancing and all. See it if you must, but beware of Molly Shannon movies from now on!

i have never heard about Molly Shannon till i saw SUPERSTAR!it was great.even though the actors weren't as teen as their role asked for the movie was great.at first i thought that this would influence the movie and would make me not see the essential,what the movie really wanted to show,the theme,but finally i realised that if the roles had been interpreted by teenagers the movie wouldn't'have been so remarkable.i saw myself in every character:when i was little i used to dream about me being a superstar,sometimes i'm doing the same things Mary Katherine did("sometimes when i get nervous,i put my fingers under my arms,and then smell them like this...");was funny when she destroyed the banana & showed it to that guy who attracted by her.also ,something that teenagers use to do,which is not quite good & i'm ashamed i sometimes act like this, ,is "fighting" with their parents,and in Mary's case with her granny. i loved the movie and it became one of my favorite's!
