Good concept, poorly executed.

Best movie ever!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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

I'm a huge fan of Adam Sandler's films and for the most part, I like Nick Swardson. However, this was very bad. I don't have anything against movies with sexual content or gross out stuff, it just has to be funny. After watching this, I know that Nick Swardson was NOT born to be a lead.He gives us a semi creepy performance and all the jokes fall apart fast. For example, he says "Miles is getting an eight ball, I don't wanna play pool" or something like that. Just stuff that makes you cringe. The whole movie lacks an actual story, it's just a bunch of bad penis jokes and "point and laugh at the freak" jokes as well. A lot of great actors wasted (Christina Ricci, Mike O'Connell, Don Johnson) and the humor doesn't work here. It tries too hard to mix sentimental and mean-spirited stuff, which both fail. When Bucky gets a roommate, the dude (Kevin Nealon) is such a jerk that you wish he hung himself and left the poor guy alone.The entire film is predictable and Stephen Dorff looks like Bret Michaels, which isn't a good thing. I smiled several times but didn't laugh at all. I don't understand why they couldn't put more effort into it. Making Bucky into a wimp who can't even perform correctly in these adult movies just shows you the thought that went into making it. Skip this one, you'll be glad you did!

An unattractive not well endowed Iowa guy travels to LA to become a porn star in the steps of his parents. One of the writers is Adam Sandler so that should let you know what to expect. It is way below the Farelly Brothers in terms of humor and slightly worse than a Rob Schneider movie in terms of crudeness. Quite a lot of it is painful to watch but it's not a total write off. There is something uplifting in the story.Nick Swarsdon I thought was kind of annoying in 'Just Go With It' and in this movie he is annoying too but that is part of the character. He isn't a terrific comedian but he tries hard. The supporting cast is actually better than expected - quite good for what they are cast as. Christina Ricci is prettier than before and is quite sweet and touching as the girlfriend. Don Johnson is quite good as a slightly sleazy but kind porn director. Stephen Dorff is an arrogant porn star.Overall if you are in the mood for a crude comedy then it's quite cute in parts.

Intrigued by the dastardly rep, "Bucky Larson" ventured into my repertoire in order to privately observe how low the director Tom Brady managed to stoop. And I wasn't disappointed. This simplistic comedy centres around the buck teeth-challenged Bucky Larson (Nick Swardson) and his dream to become a famous porn star, irregardless of his minuscule manhood. Inspired by his parents, who were once famous genre actors of the 70s, Bucky decides to challenge his destiny moving from small town Iowa to the Hollywood boulevards. Despite his physical deficiencies Bucky soon manages to enter into the business, mainly thanks to a chance meeting with rundown porn director Miles Deep (Don Johnson) and the backing of waitress Kathy McGee (Christina Ricci). Insert random below the belt jokes and off we go...The gags arrive in bundles, yet surprisingly all of them are poorly construed and remarkably flat. Honestly, not a single joke even manages to register a positive chuckle or giggle, making it a whole other level of lame comedy, surpassing the feats of the Wayan brothers, who despite all their crass lewdness register a few successful hits in each movie. Chaotic timing does not help the overall poor level of constructed gags, while actor Nicky Swardson has famously put off any future interest in him as a lead, lacking charisma and delivering a dissuasive anti-performance offering Bucky Larson no sympathetic appeal whatsoever. Somewhere in this mix decent actors show up and offer half-hearted performances, that fail to liven up proceedings. Don Johnson possibly needed the money, but the presence of Christina Ricci and Stephen Dorff in this bona fide turd is a true mystery.Lumbering along with tirades of trite jokes, this monstrosity of a movie does not even invoke laughter as to how bad it is, instead imbuing an overbearing notion of boredom. Required watching for those who want to know how not to make a comedy.
