Review of Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star (2011) by Brian C — 31 Dec 2011
Wow, this movie is bad. Not bad in a "Troll 2" so bad it's good kind of way, but bad in a "Gigli" kind of way. Nick Swardson is usually hilarious and a real bright spot in Adam Sandler's movies, but here he is god awful.
He stars as Bucky Larson an idiot from Iowa who finds out his parents used to be porn stars. Upon learning he decides it's his destiny to be in porn and moves to Hollywood to fulfill his dream. I think I may have chuckled once during this and it was at a Nick Turturro line.
This is probably the worst Happy Madison movie ever. Worse than "Jack and Jill", "Dickie Roberts", "Benchwarmers", and anything with Rob Schneider. I don't know why I thought this would be ok(my hopes weren't high, but I expected to at least laugh some), but this is a big letdown.
If your a Swardson fan, just pop in a dvd of his stand up instead. This is the kind of movie that could make him lose fans.
