Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

view_and_review Coneheads and now Superstar are the only two SNL skit based movies I've ever seen. Coneheads is still the leader in the clubhouse in my book but this was still good.I'm not an SNL fan. In fact, the last time I saw a full SNL broadcast would have to have been 20 years ago or so. If it weren't for the internet and Yahoo posting some of their clips I'd never catch any of it.Superstar is about a very awkward and borderline mentally retarded girl that has only one ambition in life; and that's to be kissed by a boy. Because of her television and movie assisted upbringing she believes that the only way to get said kiss is by becoming a superstar. Her journey to superstardom causes her to do one highly embarrassing act after another. It becomes increasingly apparent that embarrassing is not even a part of her vocabulary.The movie is quite funny and delivers some good lines. Molly Shannon is probably the best fit for the role of Mary Katherine, the socially underdeveloped teen. Although, Shannon passing as a teen was about as believable as Channing Tatum passing for a teen in 21 Jump Street. Be that as it may, if you like the SNL skit you'll probably love this movie.

dobbin-4 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%.

flumpman-1 I remember watching this movie when I was working in America in the year 2000 with my cousin and absolutely pissing my pants with laughter at it.I then totally forgot about it until I noticed it on a website for sale for like £3 and thought I would buy it and see if it was as funny as I remembered. It was - and it was funnier the second time around.Molly Shannon is an underrated comedic actress who we should see more often and who should be given lead roles on a more regular basis as she is absolutely hilarious in Superstar.This movie has absolutely no point and no story but is just full of class comedy moments which make me chuckle over and over again. And not only is Ms Shannon rather good in it - Will Ferrell is on top form before he made it big time. Its just a shame he didn't drag Molly with him and make her as big a star as she is.Get her in the Frat Pack now! Oh - and this movie is well funny so I recommend it highly to anyone with a sense of humour!

callanvass This is a cute enough Comedy, that's entertaining and often quite funny, with a good story and solid performances. All the characters are good, and this is nowhere near as bad as critics have made it out to be in fact it's rather good, plus Molly Shannon is very funny as the lead. It has some really goofy humor but it worked for me because I like that kind, and it's well made and written as well, plus the ending was absolutely hilarious!. I laughed my ass off when ever Mary started talking dirty and making out to that tree,as I thought the nun's reaction that was watching her so funny, plus Maria's Devil song had me in stitches!. Elaine Hendrix is extremely annoying and very effective as the bitch, and Will Ferrell managed to amuse me in a few scenes, plus Mary's confession scene at the beginning where she says some lines from the T.V movie Sybil was also hilarious. There were a few misses of course, but they were still enjoyable scenes, and I don't see why this is so lowly rated (4.4 come one!), plus all the characters are pretty likable for the most part. This is a cute enough Comedy that's entertaining and often quite funny, with a good story and solid performances, and I say it's well worth the watch!. The Direction is good!. Bruce McCulloch does a good! job here with pretty good camera work, good angles and keeping the film funny and at a fast pace. The Acting is solid and quite fun!. Molly Shannon is brilliant as the lead, she has such a talented and hilarious comedian as she is so funny here, she is extremely likable, had a cool character, seemed to be enjoying her role, was wonderfully quirky and energetic, and was the main reason this movie was as funny as it was, I loved her!. Will Ferrell is rather amusing here and thankfully Doesen't over do it, he was goofy but it worked, I actually kind of dug his character, as he did pretty good. Elaine Hendrix is extremely annoying as the bitch and was so convincing, she was good looking but way too unlikable she did her job extremely well, because I couldn't stand her!. Harland Williams is good as the guy who's in love with Shannon (Mary), he was likable and I dug his stutter!. Mark McKinney is very good as the Father he had nice comic timing and his facial expressions were priceless!. Glynis Johns is funny as the Grandma and surprisingly added a lot of spark I liked her. Emmy Laybourne is good as Mary's best friend she was energetic I liked her. Jennifer Irwin is hilarious as the girl who's obsessed with The Devil, I really liked her. Tom Green has a small role as an ass heckler. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall well worth the watch!. *** out of 5
