Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Shilo I cannot believe Nick Swardson has the gall to defend this incoherent, awkward and embarrassing piece of trash. This is without a doubt the worst film of the year and one of the worst films ever made and, yet, he thinks he made a good movie. I would hate to see what comes next from him because "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star" sucks on so many levels of shameful stupidity, it is sad. I managed to sit through "Freddy Got Fingered" back in 2001 but this garbage made me walk out the theater door and not look back.It's about a dorky kid, Bucky Larson (Nick Swardson) who discovers his weird parents were porn stars at one point and he decides to rid his sheltered life and become a porn star like them.Nick Swardson is that guy from "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry." He played the gay butterfly and he showed he is funny, can play funny characters and he is talented even if that role was limited. Well, this is his big jump and Nick is the star of this picture and if this is his starting point, he has a long sad career ahead of him. Or, maybe this film will sink him because not only is this film cringe-worthy and good at dulling your intelligence, it is awkward to the point where you realize your wasted time was of greater importance and you feel stupid for watching it. The easy way to some up this film would be: "A boring kid with buck teeth, hence "Bucky" becomes a pornstar when directors see him masturbate and screech like a monkey." How does that sound?Would it surprise you if you knew Adam Sandler was the writer to this s**t? It shouldn't. His career has been in the Jon for over ten years now and he still can't write a story that is funny or interesting, instead settling on crude humor and fart jokes. His company Happy Madison can't seem to produce a good movie either or anything funny. That's a shame when his movies still make money but I bet you this picture won't. Oh, and that guy who directed the equally cringe- worthy "The Hot Chick" with the bumbling Rob Schinder, who can't act his way out of a paper bag, directed this. We got an all-star team here folks. If it seems like I am being very harsh, I am. If they want to attempt to dull my intelligence with this, I am going to burn them as well for making an awful movie that no one should have to see.Nick plays the titular character who is a manchild and lives with his mom and dad in some small town and Bucky comes off as this innocent kid, to which he is, but he doesn't seem all that smart. He is an awkward kid who has been sheltered by his parents and he works at a local grocery store. You remember that character, "Booger" from "Revenge of the Nerds" back in 1984? Well, the actor, Curtis Armstrong, shows up at the beginning of the picture as Bucky's boss as a way for the producers to attempt to sell the film because of Armstrong's memorable character. Too bad, his character here is a brain-dead idiot that shows you the extent of the misery you're about to endure as the picture begins.So, this kid that doesn't seem to know anything finds his parents porn stash, yes, they were awkward porn stars back in the 1970's and all the sudden, Bucky's mission is to travel to L.A. and become a porn star. Yeah...Okay. Through a series of misunderstandings, Bucky gets a job as a porn star for a failing director, Miles Deep (that name doesn't sound sexual at all). Bucky becomes a star when the director sees his, oh god..., his small penis and somehow screeching like a monkey when he masturbates, makes women want to sleep with him. Does that sound normal to you? No! it sounds like something an idiot wrote thinking they were funny to suck the dollars out of audiences. Enter all of Adam Sandler's moron friends, because they only star in his movies, and the film has gone to total s**t. Christina Ricci shows up as bucky's new girlfriend, of course, she is, and Stephen Doriff shows up as a jerk-off porn star called, Dick Shadow, how nice. He is the typical dummy with a tough attitude who becomes threatened by the dorky kid and hides a secret but who cares? I am not going to even bother with the rest of the picture because I don't want to waste your time. As i said before, It takes a lot for me to walk out of a movie and this picture made me want to run. There is nothing salvageable from it at all and Nick needs to look elsewhere if he thinks he made a funny comedy with the crew that is responsible for "Deuce Bigalow," "The Animal" and, the wretched "Waterboy." Also, I would like to know from Nick what he thinks was funny about this picture because he attempted to defend it by calling critics, "Morons." Well, I consider myself an intelligent person and an experience movie critic to which I say to Nick, "You movie sucked! Try a better screenplay that doesn't make you look like an unintelligent idiot or maybe a career change is better for you?"Zero/10

Pau Evo This movie is terrible in the sense that it sorta makes you cringe at times. I think it depends on your sense of humor. For me, I will never watch this movie again but i might put it on if there were nothing else on TV. The lead character's crush in the film is beautiful (Christina Ricci). I actually thought Swardson did OK in this movie for the role he was given but the premise of the movie was not well thought out, a dumb idiot in porn business and the idea that somehow him coming early before sex even starts would set some kind of trend in the industry and make him a star of porn. There were some very funny moments with Bucky's landlord (Kevin Nealon) and it was sort of romantic in the end how this idiot from Iowa hooks up with a babe waiter in Hollywood but the ultimate result for this movie is a failure because its just time consuming blather if you don't find Swardson's thick midwest accent amusing. Personally, this movie reminds me of Dumb and Dumberer, the wretched prequel to Dumb and Dumber, in that there were some rather funny scenes and i was able to watch the entire film but my intelligence took a hit and it was really, really dumb. 5/10 There are some occasional laughs throughout, if you make it to the end.

FlashCallahan The titular character discovers that his parents were very famous adult Movie stars when they were young and wants to continue the family trade.So off he goes to L.A. And begins to chase his dream. It isn't long before he is ridiculed by the most famous adult star in the world, but never fear Crockett from Miami Vice employs him, because he finds out about Buckys 'hidden talent'.Plus he falls for Wednesday from the Addams Family, who now works in a diner.So the film is bad, granted, but its not as bad as many make out, and I see far worse films every month than this, while not funny movie, just a sunshine movie that can be on in the background, not bother the grey matter, and raise a smile through its predictable duration.Swardson is okay as the lead, but he's not a star, and will probably be better as support for future Happy Madison movies.But its sad to see Ricci resorted to love interest in something as low as this. She is great, but other cast members don't seem to be taking the movie as seriously as she, but that's probably because they are all mates of Sandler.Its highly predictable, things are going rest for Bucky, something knocks him back, but all comes good at the end.So its not very good, there are a few funny moments, but the film is saved by Ricci and Johnson, playing way above everyone else.

Jose Cruz This is extremely heavy stuff, made for specialists in comedy. Most people will not get Tarkovsky's The Mirror and in the same way most people will not get Bucky Larson. There are few that get The Mirror and a few that get Bucky Larson and these two groups of people do not intersect easily. I rated The Mirror, 10/10, and Bucky Larson, I rate it 9/10, the same ratings I gave for Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Rear Window, Fanny and Alexander and Vertigo.I personally think that Bucky Larson is vastly superior to most comedies. Take another random comedy, House Bunny, that was a plain bad movie but this is much more than that, if you are able to get it, of course. One needs to be able to fully master the art of watching crappy comedies before trying this kind of stuff which was made for the specialists. I have already watched hundreds of bad comedies and about 20 Adam Sandler movies and this operates on another league of greatness. I would say that I got a lot of fun from watching this impressive work of art that defies convention and goes where no other movie has gone before. It was a "bad movie" done entirely on purpose by the director and writers. Just like the porn movies Bucky made in the movie, this is innovation and film critics, people who were brainwashed in film school to like 1940's stuff, cannot simply understand the genius of this film, as did the people on the porn business which were shown Bucky film's.My ratings would be:9/10 - Specialists 0/10 - Most peopleI wouldn't recommend this movie for regular people. They will not understand it.
