Walk of Fame

Scott Eastwood, a star on the rise, takes a break from massive blockbusters ('Suicide Squad', 'Fate of the Furious') to play Drew, a struggling LA lawyer hoping to hop careers and catch his big break as an actor in the indie comedy 'Walk of Fame'. Unfortunately for Drew—but fortunately for audiences—the eclectic cast of characters he meets at the prestigious acting workshop Star-Maker Academy drag him down with them into lunacy. These wannabe thespians' uncontrollable lust for wealth and fame incites the film's outrageously over the top gags. 'Fame' delights in skewering the brutal business of trying to make it as an actor in the competitive Hollywood industry. In many ways, this approach (of ridiculing the industry depicted in the film) parallels Ben Stiller's 'Zoolander', which derived countless puns and gags from the pretentious modelling underworld. Any fan of raunchy comedies will find a lot to love here.

I hate this film enough to download the IMDb app just to write this review.

That might not mean much to the average user being that you don't know anything else about me, aside from the fact that I really hate this film, but it's a real attestment to how bad this film is.

This film tells the story of a handsome young man, who joins an acting class in order to be close to a beautiful female stranger. He encounters any strange events, but makes a bunch of friends along the way.

The story of "Walk of Fame" is really horrendous. It contains a parade of incredibly clichéd characters. Every major ethnic group is represented, and it also includes people of shorter stature, gays and lesbians. It is good to have a diverse cast, but in this film the cast is so forcefully put together that it looks more like a circus show. The story is basically a constant stream of either people being really nasty to each other, or acting really strange. The jokes with endless sexual innuendos are funny the first time, but really tiring after the tenth time. I do wonder why Scott Eastwood is involved with this horrendous project. His character rolls his eyes many times in the film, when unbelievable things happen. I can say that Eastwood's facial expression is actually genuine, because I can't believe what a train wreck I am watching on the screen.

...this sucked. And, I really like these actors. They tried their best with goofy material that rarely hits the mark. I give it 3 stars for taking aim at political correctness in spots, but it's not enough. The script's silliness brings groans where they wanted solid laughs. I wouldn't mind seeing the same cast with better material.

Scott Eastwood stars as Drew, a melancholic dude that works at a call center and can't seem to pass the bar exam. After meeting Nikki, played by Laura Ashley Samuels, Drew decides to try acting and joins Star Maker Academy. Malcolm McDowell and Chris Kattan thrive as the acting coaches at the academy. This movie is one of a kind. It twists and turns through the plot and covers so many different situations. This gives the notable cast so many different angles to throw jokes. Oh they had locker room jokes to throw. They threw jabs, haymakers and a knockout punch. All of those big name actors and Jack Guzman as Rubisio Uchilieni steals the show. His character is absolutely electric from the minute he comes on camera. Another unknown actor that impressed was Jesse Thomas, this is his first movie and all he did was write, direct and act in it. The film was light hearted and entertaining. I would suggest it to anyone who's trying to relax and have a good laugh.
