Sometimes I wonder if all you; sadist, internet Nazis, give Adam Sandler bad ratings because he is Jewish. This movie made me laugh so hard I was crying. I have not laughed that hard in many years. That alone warrants me to write this review. Nick Swardson is so very funny to me; always. His performance in Blades of Glory was stellar. His Comedy Central stand up appearance; was pretty good. With some work he could be really great at stand up.. Christina Ricci was really great too. Her expressions were so convincing. She really made me think she was a all American wholesome girl; through the whole movie. Don Johnson was also so entertaining; his performance alone would have made this movie great. Kevin Nealon as Gary; was just icing on the cake.

I enjoyed the movie. It's lighthearted, and gave me a few giggles. I thought it was well cast too. With all the negative reviews I was expecting to hate it, and not even finish watching it. But I was pleasantly surprised.I thought some of the ideas in the film were clever, especially when "Kathy" improvised and made a condom for "Bucky".The movie had a nice message too. Suspension of disbelief is needed if you are going to enjoy the movie - yes parts of the plot are unrealistic. But does that matter - no. It's a comedy, it's a bit silly; it's not a movie based on fact.The movie is "different", watch it for what it is, and not for what you want it to be.

Me and my GF watched this on cable last night and we both enjoyed the experience. Light hearted and positive we found it a restated belief in humankind. The shattering of stereotypes and the inclusive nature of the storyline was refreshing. The fact that men masturbate was not dodged or hinted it was an obvious fact and even in a group scene was not reflected as homo-erotic just as being a natural. I particularly liked the way the parent/son relationship was portrayed. Mom and Pop, even though they had starred in porno back in the day, came across as loving proud parents and Bucky had obviously embraced good social values.The normalization of the porn industry was well handled and yet the essential goodness of faithfulness was also brought to the fore.All in all an amusing evening and the enjoyment of seeing some sensitive issues handled with a deft touch. Hats off to everybody involved.

Intrigued by the dastardly rep, "Bucky Larson" ventured into my repertoire in order to privately observe how low the director Tom Brady managed to stoop. And I wasn't disappointed. This simplistic comedy centres around the buck teeth-challenged Bucky Larson (Nick Swardson) and his dream to become a famous porn star, irregardless of his minuscule manhood. Inspired by his parents, who were once famous genre actors of the 70s, Bucky decides to challenge his destiny moving from small town Iowa to the Hollywood boulevards. Despite his physical deficiencies Bucky soon manages to enter into the business, mainly thanks to a chance meeting with rundown porn director Miles Deep (Don Johnson) and the backing of waitress Kathy McGee (Christina Ricci). Insert random below the belt jokes and off we go...The gags arrive in bundles, yet surprisingly all of them are poorly construed and remarkably flat. Honestly, not a single joke even manages to register a positive chuckle or giggle, making it a whole other level of lame comedy, surpassing the feats of the Wayan brothers, who despite all their crass lewdness register a few successful hits in each movie. Chaotic timing does not help the overall poor level of constructed gags, while actor Nicky Swardson has famously put off any future interest in him as a lead, lacking charisma and delivering a dissuasive anti-performance offering Bucky Larson no sympathetic appeal whatsoever. Somewhere in this mix decent actors show up and offer half-hearted performances, that fail to liven up proceedings. Don Johnson possibly needed the money, but the presence of Christina Ricci and Stephen Dorff in this bona fide turd is a true mystery.Lumbering along with tirades of trite jokes, this monstrosity of a movie does not even invoke laughter as to how bad it is, instead imbuing an overbearing notion of boredom. Required watching for those who want to know how not to make a comedy.
