    Very Funny Movie

    This is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. There are many really great belly-laughs here. There also are some very heartwarming moments when Mary Katherine Gallagher conjures up feelings of sympathy for her plight as a "nerd" among "beautiful people." The ending was wonderful. I really enjoyed seeing Glynis Johns again. I've always enjoyed her performances very much. All in all, I think this is an all-round good, very enjoyable movie!

    Stupid Critics! This movie was Funny!

    This movie was one of the funniest SNL movies ever! Every critic imaginable hated this movie but I still think that it is the second funniest thing Will Ferrill has done. (1st being DICK) I saw it in theaters and thought it was so funny that I made it the first movie of the millenium that I saw. Yeah, my grandparents hated it but still IT IS FUNNY!!! I guess you just have to be a kid to like it.

    Very enjoyable

    I completely enjoyed Superstar. Its one of those movies that are kind of cute, but still had enough off color humor to keep your attention. It is not raunchy at all. The off color humor comes from many things that kids in the age group really go through.

    I grew up attending Catholic High School. So I can related to many things in this movie. Just the uniforms alone are funny. And the characters of the Priests and Nuns are very funny, and reminds me of many of the teachers I had back in the day.

    Yes both Molly and Will were a little too old for their characters. I wonder what the movie would have been like if they made it with child actors. It certainly would have been a whole different thing. But I like how they made it with the older actors. It's Molly Shannon's character and really no one but Molly can play her.

    Superstar is one super movie.

    Superstar is the not so hit movie starring Molly Shannon and co starring Will Ferrell in one of the first movies they did together. The movie is about Mary Katherine Gallagher and all she wants in life is a Hollywood kiss but she realises that to get that she needs to be like the people in the movies. The movie is funny on many bases and Will Ferrell's character just held it together beautifully. The movie is definitely a must watch for fans of Saturday Night Live or Saturday Night Live skit turned Movies and Molly Shannon/Will Ferrell shows. Overall this movie is funny the whole way through and Will Ferrell's character was excellently petried. I rate this 74%.

    Better than I remember

    I'd never really had a love for this movie. That being said revisiting it so many years later it's cuter than I remember and a little bit more funny. Molly Shannon plays the awkward and slightly annoying Mary Katherine Gallagher an odd fame obsessed youngster who just wants to be taken seriously. Shes of course constantly bullied and has her eyes on "hot" guy Will Ferrell. The movie plays out predictably and some of the laughs really work. Overall it's a fun flick that just tries a little to hard.

    • Trivia
      Every car seen in the movie (with the exception of the opening sequence) is either a lime green or black new Volkswagen Beetle. The cars in the opening sequence are all classic VW Beetles.
    • Goofs
      When Evian goes to Skye's house and his mother opens the door, there is a baby in a Johnny-Jump-Up (one of those things that hangs in a door frame that the baby can jump up and down in) surrounded by people directly visible behind Skye's mother. The camera cuts to Evian, and when it cuts back to Mrs. Corrigan, the baby and the people are no longer there.
    • Quotes

      Grandma Gallagher: We've got two days to the big show. So when I say kick, you want to kick. And when I say dip, you dip. And when I say tap, you tap. And when I say...

      Mary Katherine Gallagher: They get it, Grandma. They get it. They get it.

      Grandma Gallagher: I've got two more. And when I say booga-booga, you booga-booga.

      Maria Ganitisis: What's "booga-booga" mean?

      Grandma Gallagher: I don't know. But if I say it, you better fuckin' figure it out.
