Shilo 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

bivens_joe Lookit, I like Nicky Swardson as much as anyone, but, this movie f**king blew. That that I have to type out 10 lines in order to submit this review is understandable, but at the same time, it pisses me off because I intended on forgetting about this bad film as soon as I finished my review of it. What can I tell you? While I have to animus toward Adam Sandler, I feel that if he doesn't apologize to me personally for creating this horror show, I may have to snub him, should we ever meet. My email is available through IMDb. Let's go. Make this right.OK, so I guess that wasn't enough lines, still. Grrr. Is this enough?

s-mason9 People say it's the worst movie they've ever seen, but I'd bet those people haven't seen many movies because they already have a stick where the sun doesn't shine. They also say you'd have to like Happy Madison to enjoy it, but I've seen a lot of Happy Madison movies and they don't compare to this. There are cheesy moments, but they are done in a manner that barely trips you up or takes you out of the moment. I think there are plenty of laugh out loud moments, and honestly, If you like Nick Swardson you'll find plenty of entertainment in this movie. Based on other reviews I was expecting bad cinematography, lighting, jokes, plot, and dialog. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's on par with other comedies. People seem to think that every movie made needs to be on par with the greatest movies of all time but I'd recommend it for anyone who finds humor in silly films that are obviously ridiculous from the premise.

p-stepien 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.
