No eastwood,has ever been comedic funny Clint was good at biting sarcasm.But really roll on the floor funny.Never. Neither is his son.Scott I would never though someone with the name Eastwood, could do a movie so bad,that it should be removed it from the face of the earth. You keep wondering how they got anyone on board with this turkey. Malcolm McDowell,Scott Eastwood.I mean these are BIG names.Why would they wanna do a stinker like this. There was a few chuckles in the beginning,but after that,it was all down hill
I have to say there aren't too many movies out there that are so bad that you have to keep watching until the end. The plot was quite predictable, the acting was horrendous, and the cinematography was barely up to par. I was also quite disappointed that Scott Eastwood, a man of a higher caliber, would accept a role and movie so diminishing to his career.
I basically wasted an hour and a half watching this.

Our society has an obsession with celebrity and we are often fixated on every aspect of our favorite stars. From this, we have become quite familiar with this glorified version of Hollywood. However, things are switched up in Walk of Fame, which takes a lively crack at depicting how the other half struggles to make it in Jesse Thomas's vision of the more heinous side to Tinseltown. An oddball group of eccentric actors is introduced when Drew (Scott Eastwood) winds up following a love interest to her acting school in order to impress her. Each of the actors Drew encounters each have some strange quality that sets them widely apart from the average joe, especially when compared to Drew's everyday normalness. As Drew tries to navigate this strange world, hilarity ensues. By employing farcical humor, Jesse Thomas touches on a variety of subjects and stereotypes that are executed in perfect lighthearted fashion. Where you expect to have to rely on Eastwood for landing zingy one-liners and supplying witty humor, many of the supporting actors step up to the plate to help carry the film. Drew's best friend, Nate, as well as Rowe, one of the members of the acting class, especially impressed me. Other big names like Malcolm McDowell and Kris Kattan must also be acknowledged for their compelling performances despite having smaller roles. This all comes together via backstage fashion to help attribute a loony reality to the Hollywood sphere. Through this, Walk of Fame saves itself from falling trap to running the course of another conventional yet forgettable rom-com. Instead it manages to deliver a product that is both different and low key hilarious as long as you don't take it, nor yourself, too seriously.
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.

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.
