Critic Reviews

  • Rafer Guzman, Newsday

    Icky and repellent in ways it probably did not intend.

  • Joe Baltake, Passionate Moviegoer

    The base 'Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star': Offensive? Yes. But so is the critically lauded 'Bridesmaids'

  • Matt Singer, Time Out New York

    This movie is dire, soul-crushing stuff.

  • Eric D. Snider, Film.com

    This isn't even a series of skits, but a series of vague ideas for skits that nobody fleshed out.

  • Andrew Barker, Variety

    Through all this, one feels nothing more strongly than an acute sympathy for all involved -- in particular Ricci, who gives her role more than it deserves, and Herrmann, a classy character actor who once won a Tony.

    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… More
