Summary: PAROCHIAL SCHOOL AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE...
Review: Comedienne Molly Shannon recreates her Saturday Night Live character, Mary Katherine Gallagher, the gawky catholic school girl, for the big screen. At times, the film is very funny. Unfortunately, it is not very funny as often as one would like. What works great as a five minute skit on Saturday Night Live does not necessarily make for a great full length, feature film, even though quite a few of the Saturday Night Live regulars have parts in it. The film revolves around Mary Katherine Gallagher and her attempts to fit in and make the most popular boy in the school want her the way she wants him. She also wants to be a superstar in the worst way, even though her grandmother with whom she lives wants her to become a business woman. She does get her big break, however, when her school has a talent contest. Some of the funniest scenes in the movie occur when Mary Katherine, absorbed in her romantic fantasies and impervious to her surroundings, has a one sided conversation with an apparent fantasy lover for whom she substitutes a tree as a stand in. At times, she even acts out her romantic fantasy with the tree. Imagine it with a nun standing in the background observing Mary Katherine. It is hilarious. Unfortunately, those moments are few and far between. Still, if you are a Mary Katherine Gallagher fan, you will enjoy the film. If not, you may be disappointed.

Summary: My Favorite Movie Ever!
Review: "Superstar!" sums it all up. This was an excellent movie, and my favorite, to be sure. It's funny, has song and dance, and features a great cast. Some people may not like it, because it's a movie for a certain brand of humor. I like the awkward moments Mary has throughout her schooldays, and I think it's totally hilarious. And, you might have noticed that I'm not exactly 13 yet, but this movie's nothing bad, save for a few swear words and hidden meanings.

Summary: Stupid
Review: This movie is OK for kids who like stupid humor, but personally, it was really bad. It's like a 1 1/2 hour Saturday night live skit~They're great when they're only 5 mins. or whatever, but this movie is horrible. You might like it if you enjoyed Night at the Roxburry however

Summary: FANTASTIC!
Review: I initially didn't expect too much from this movie but watched it because I love SNL and Harland Williams. I was pleasantly surprised!! This movie is fantastic! Light-hearted humor, great cast (including the ensemble cast) and a lot of subtle things that might get you thinking about what in the world it could mean (i.e. the significance of the often subtley-displayed bowls of apples, why EVERY car in this movie is a VW Bettle, etc.). It's a great movie . . . open your mind to it and your mouth will open with laughter!

Summary: One of my favourite comedies
Review: When i read what Roger Ebert wrote about M. Shannon and her character in this film, that was the last time i listen to anything he says. Alot of professional reviewers thought the character was just a little too dark, but that's what was so beautiful about how well they developed her. This character is absolutely complex, and sincere and i think a lot of people just could not handle that. She is strong and weak, loud and brash, and spends half the movie whispering. She is an extremely complex nerd who thinks she's a superstar...and she is. She goes through so much of the stuff that different young women may go through in their minds, but she is zany enough to do it all. WOW. Will Farrell is an absolute riot as her crush, Sky Kerrigan, Tom Green's small role is hilarious, and Elain Hendrix is great/perfect. I forgot who plays the best friend but she is the best next to Shannon. All character i have never seen in anything else, rare and spontaineous. Most movies are just simple characters with one side to them. These guys have it all and it's all done with very little taste (always a plus for an SNL movies). The catholic school scenes will just kill if you've ever gone or have friends who attend catholic school. So many of the jokes about catholic school are both over the top and subtle. Like the father eating the dry toast is just one of the funniest things i've ever seen in my life, and it's only a 10 second scene using the sound of his biting into burnt toast to make me double over in laughter. Each scene is a small skit, that's how this movie is made, and some people do not appreciate that style of movie. I've heard people say it is totally fragmented and i think this is what they are refering to. If people are waiting for a formula film this ain't it. But it is a rare and very funny film for those who are young at heart and remember what it's like to think that the world revolves around you. Overall, probably females will like it better than males, although many males i know really like it. I am so glad they made this movie. I watch it all the time on DVD. I would DEFINITELY recommend this for any female who has a fun side. Any male who likes SNL and can handle a really strong female character.Thank goodness she got a good movie instead of the usual SNL stuff. Don't get me wrong, i love snl, but most of the movies are really poor. This one is about as funny as it gets. There is so much feeling and insight into the life of a struggling teen, not to mention struggling to be a movie star. Although i personally wish there had been a little more slapstick, there was more than there usually is for women, so i'm happy. if you have any part of a silly sense of humor, you could watch this movie a few times and really die laughing.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: All of those people on this site that have reviewed this movie with one star must have no sense of humor what-so-ever. This movie is just one of those movies that I can watch over and over and each time it still has the same effect on me-uncontrollable laughter. Mary Catherine Gallagher (Molly Shannon) is a very unpopular, and unattracive girl who is deeply in need of someone to kiss her. That is all she has wanted for all her life. She finds this person in Sky Corrigan (Will Ferrell), the most popular guy in school, who's girlfriend happens to be Evian (Elaine Hendrix), Mary's arch rival and the most popular girl in school. Along with her newfound friends in special-ed, Mary goes on her quest for Sky's kiss, and also enters a talent show to get Sky like her. This movie is all-around-fun, and anyone with a sense of humor will love it! I rate it 5 stars!

Summary: Stupidstar
Review: You'll want to turn this movie off after ten minutes. It's pure garbage. It's never funny and just so stupid you feel like a dumber person for watching it. Just like the failing seasons of Saturday Night Live, you should avoid it at all costs.

Summary: HORRIBLE!
Review: Before I watched "Superstar," I was expecting it to be hilarious from what I was hearing about it. It turned out to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen and one of the biggest disappointments of all time in my opinion. Molly Shannon stars as a girl who has dreams of becoming a superstar. She's the most unattractive and unpopular girl in her school, but that doesn't stop her. During the whole movie, I was expecting at least one part of it to be funny, but it turned out that no part of the movie even made me grin. "Superstar" is one of the corniest movie I've ever seen, all the way from the way Molly Shannon acts and moves, to the story of how her parents died is just plain corny and unfunny. And the way the movie portrays God is going way too far. Don't make the mistake I did and think before you see "Superstar" that it's gonna be a hilarious movie because it's not. I don't recommend "Superstar" at all.

Summary: Decent
Review: This wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but it wasn't the worst. Some of the jokes are downright stupid, but I like when she makes out with the tree. The ending is pretty dumb considering all the details, and then it gets even dumber just after...but who's idea was it to tell a kid their parents got ripped apart viciously by hammerhead sharks?
