Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, Elaine Hendrix

Yet another SNL skit-turned movie. In this one, Molly Shannon plays nerdy Catholic schoolgirl, Mary Katherine Gallagher, who's dreaming of superstardom.

    Well, normally I wouldnt be watching this but it was on the tv and I didnt have anything better to do.

    This is a funny movie. Stars Molly Shannon who brings her SNL character Mary Katherine Gallagher to the big screen. Much like the SNL skits Mary is a arkward teen trying to fit in. But always she ends up goofing up and smelling her hands that were under her armpits. The movie als...( read more)o stars Will Ferrell as the teen boy she likes. Molly and Will are both very funny in this. I got some good laughs. If you were a fan of the SNL skits then check this out.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Here is a portrait of a character so sad and hapless, so hard to like, so impossible to empathize with, that watching it feels like an act of unkindness. full review
