December 17, 2010fb733768972This god awful, and almost completely unfunny comedy is surrounded by so much stupidity that it is very hard to enjoy. I really wanted to punch my TV during my viewing of this film, but I guess ever comedy can't be good. This is one of the worst attempts to make a saturday night ... read more

November 23, 2010One of the better SNL films, Superstar is engaging, funny, and physical comedy abundant. Cute and camaraderie keep it lighthearted and the protaganist lovable.

Contrasting the erotic with the disgusting is usually provocative and can be funny, but not in this underdog comedy. Full Review

Doug Saunders, Globe and Mail
A stick-figure Rembrandt that provides neither the quick surreal poke of a TV satire nor the full lustre of an actual movie. Full Review

Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News
Simply stated, there's not a movie's worth of story here. Full Review

About as funny as an oozing fever blister.

There's really no reason for anyone to see this film except die hard Shannon fans. Full Review
