Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star

2011 · 97 min

A loud, juvenile, cringe-comedy romp that coasts on crude gags and goofy sincerity, more exhausting than funny.

Tagline: There are no small actors. Just small parts.
Overview: A kid from the Midwest moves out to Hollywood in order to follow in his parents footsteps -- and become a porn star.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, light and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Ambition, identity, celebrity, love
Content: Strong sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
