I gotta tell ya, Molly Shannon really stood out like a girl who just wants to be like everyone else. This movie relates to what my life was like being in a catholic school and believe me, it wasn't a funny experience like what the movie thinks it is! I wish in the end that Mary Catherine Gallagher and Will Ferrell's character became a couple. Although I have to admit Slater had a good catchy theme song and a motorbike but still, the story should really have stuck with the movie cover cause in that way, no SNL fans will be annoyed!You have been warned if you think Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon live happily ever after cause by god, don't fell through the trap like I did!

This work brings back memories of school. Those were good days. Mary Catherine Gallagher is a misfit. In fact, I can't imagine anywhere she WILL fit in. In every school, there is a girl who marches to her own tune, outcast by all but others who, like herself, were cast out of the crowd for their idiosyncrasies.Molly Shannon is a Goddess, as she refuses to let others re-tune her inner song, finds her way, and reaches for her star.Some will not like this work. Some may find it difficult to watch as Mary Catherine falls and fails. Others will think the work to be stupid or unintelligent, and on the surface, that would seem to be a fair appraisal. If one cares to take the deeper look, however, this work will teach you to have faith in yourself, to look for the best in others, and to hold onto your dreams.It rates an 8.4/10 from...the Fiend :.

I saw this movie mainly because of Will Ferrell and boy does it deserve it's low IMDb rating. Molly Shannon manages to create a comedy vacuum around herself with NO funny moments for her central character FOR THE ENTIRE MOVIE. Quite a feat. But, the weak script can take the most of the blame. You'd think one of the writers from Seinfeld (Steve Koren) would come up with something better than this garbage. Molly Shannon french kissing a tree or a stop sign is not funny! The only kudos can go to Will Ferrell, who reprises his Roxbury-style character to great effect, silly dancing and all. See it if you must, but beware of Molly Shannon movies from now on!

Because we had seen all the other comedies at the DVD store, my son and I finally watched Superstar. It had been so panned by every review I had ever seen, I thought it would be a waste of time. Perhaps especially for those who have memories of Catholic schools, it is as delightful as it is silly. My twelve-year-old does not have these memories but he laughed hysterically none the less.I do recommend this film, but I do not recommend the critics who gave it only one star. Like psychologists, film critics must understand both the genres they review, and every type of audience that will view the film. This comedy may not be for everyone, but I cannot imagine anyone taking real offense at it either.
