A Boring and Very Silly Comedy, Which Is Not Funny

Mary Katherine Gallagher (Molly Shannon) is an orphan raised by her grandmother and student of a catholic school. She decides to participate in a competition of new talents, where the winner will travel to Hollywood and may have a chance to act in a movie. She is also interested in kissing Sky (Will Ferrell),the boyfriend of the selfish Evian (Elaine Hendrix). This movie is a crap. It is a boring comedy, which is not funny. Molly Shannon is not beautiful, not funny, not charismatic and too old for the role of Mary. Her smile, showing the teeth, is horrible! I hated this trash. I spend the whole film without any laugh. It really deserves a spot in IMDB Bottom 100. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): `Superstar - Despenca Uma Estrela' (Superstar - Falls a Star')

Superstar

Kids in the Hall member Bruce McCulloch directed this, another example of trying to turn a sketch into an entire long form story. In this case, Catholic high school student Mary Katherine Gallagher finally grows beyond five-minutes of jokes to tell you more of her life. Does it work?

Steve Koren wrote this, as well as Click and Jack and Jill for Adam Sandler. Oh yeah - he also did A Night at the Roxbury. That's some SNL cast service, let me tell you.

Mary Katherine dreams of kissing cool kid Sky Corrigan (Will Ferrell) and being a superstar. This leads to a moment right out of Carrie and her falling for bad boy Eric Slater (Harland Williams). And oh yes, Jesus (also Ferrell) shows up.

Did you enjoy this sketch? Would you enjoy it for more than an hour? This will determine whether you like this or honestly, any Saturday Night Live movie.

Superstar just not that super

Mary Katherine Gallagher (Molly Shannon) is an ugly duckling weirdo from St. Monica High School. She's tormented by mean girl Evian (Elaine Hendrix),and has a secret crush on Sky Corrigan (Will Ferrell).

Director Bruce McCulloch from 'Kids in the Hall' tries to put this super successful SNL character onto the big screen. The school is filled with strange insane characters. Some of them are even funny. However the movie suffers from Mary Katherine Gallagher's low energy speaking voice. It needs to be countered by more energy from the other characters especially Sky. The physical stuff is very funny, and it's no coincidence that's when Mary is at her highest energy output. The basic storyline is ripped from countless other high school fare. A lot of references are made to Carrie. Molly Shannon commits completely. Elaine Hendrix shines brightly as the queen bee. But Will Ferrell is too reserved.
