Bucky Larson's weeps because nobody likes his movie

Bucky crying because his movie is getting tagged as the worst movie ever

I just finished watching Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star starring Nick Swardson, Christina Ricci and Don Johnson. After leaving the movie it's apparent that poor little Bucky wasn't born to be a star we was born to be a box-office flop. Now mind you if you went into this movie with high hopes then the real joke is on you; the movie is a b-list cast not terrible actors but definitely b-list material, despite being a Happy Madison Production, it definitely at the bottom of the list of movies this production company has dished out, being a stereo-typical Sandler movie where everyone from previous films makes an appearance you pretty much get the same type of raunchy humor that Sandler films are known for but none the less the movie did serve its purpose and managed to entertain me none the less. 

The plot of the film, if you can find it, is Bucky Larson (real creative name, wonder why is name is Bucky) played by Nick Swarson is a naive and socially awkward young man who discovers his parents are famous 70s porn stars and sets out for Hollywood to follow in their footsteps and be a star on the silver screen. He meets Kathy played by Christina Ricci a waitress working at a diner who helps him get a place to stay. Miles Deep played by Chris Johnson is a porn director who discovers Bucky and puts him in his movies. Bucky becomes a hit and takes the porn industry by storm and takes Kathy on as his love interest.

That is the just of it without giving away specific details and of course the ending. I can see why this movie has been so heavily panned, its plot is just thrown together and it seemed like this movie stemmed from the idea of a short film and just got dragged out. It takes a while for the movie to pick up and really get going, once it does it doesn't really do much. I noticed the few people who did decide to watch the movie left the theater because it was just taking to long to get to anywhere. The jokes are what you would expect raunchy and perverted. It did have funny moments not gut splitting but still funny moments none the less. I didn't go in expecting much so for the most part I wasn't disappointed because of that premise. I was upset about the lack of Dante's character, who I thought would be more involved in the movie due to his role in the trailer. That's my only real gripe with the film. When it was all said and done, me and my friend were the only ones left in the theater and it was maybe a total of 10 people too for the whole showing, so we were the 1 out of 5 who tolerated the movie. I am not saying this movie is a good movie, its just sort of there and doesn't really do anything. However I did laugh and I did enjoy some parts of the movie. This movie is simply a rent only, something to watch on netflix when you can't find anything to watch really. I am not going to blast this movie like the critics; in fact I kind of wanted to watch this movie based on some of the reviews. I kind of feel that sometimes when the critics say its a bad movie, the majority of the world sees the opposite, Bucky Larson isn't that movie though. To pretty much sum it up, don't waste your cash on this movie go see something else but if your a fan of raunchy comedy then this movie is right up your alley. Sad thing is I feel Bucky Larson will be considered the worst movie of 2011 and I can see Nick Swardson trying to get people to forget that he made this film or at least see him severely apologizing for it. With that said I forgive you Nick Swardson, I forgive you...
