You know what it's time for... Supermodel documentary hour!
Added 9/30/2009
Molly Shannon developed the character of Mary Katherine Gallagher for Saturday Night Live! There isn't really enough material to expand the sketch to a full length movie, but they made a valiant effort. Hey, it worked for Wayne's World.
Parts are funny, but like Mary Katherine Gallagher's auditions, a lot of parts just fall flat. Mary works as a video store rewind girl, and that provides her the opportunity to watch tons of films, classic and trashy. She memorizes parts and then says things like, "my feelings are best expressed by this dramatic monologue from ________ (insert classic yet incongruous movie title here).
Will Ferrell plays a dual role, and is perhaps funnier in his second role. Tom Green doesn't have much to do, and frankly that is a blessing. Emmy Laybourne was great in a little bit as Helen Lewengrub, Mary's friend from Special Ed. At a boring assembly, they amuse themselves by playing Supermodel documentary hour. Though it was just an interlude that did nothing to advance the plot, it was nevertheless a most pleasant excursion.
No need for a sequel, the material has already been stretched thin enough. I confess that I liked parts of this, but it would be a sin to say that this is a great movie.

Added 9/14/2009
Molly Shannon is hilarious; it's outrageous that when you Google" super star", you get Tom Cruise... Life is so unfair!!
Anyway, back to business; Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell are sooo awesome in this movie, so you many "dare to dream" but watch the movie and keep it for your kids.

SOME FUNNY MOMENTS BUT..................!
Added 2/1/2009
What do you get when you take a 3 minute SNL skit and make a full length feature film out of it? Answer - SUPERSTAR! I really don't want to come down too hard on this goofy, but harmless film, because it does have it's moments. Molly Shannon and Co. do what they can with this mildly disturbing comedy with a predictable story. I rate it 2 stars in a good way!?....if that makes any sense.
