This movie manages to have more touching and hilarious moments than most schlock comedies could hope for.

Contrasting the erotic with the disgusting is usually provocative and can be funny, but not in this underdog comedy.

Superstar is considerably less fun than a marathon of Star Search episodes.

Much more enjoyable than the sketches on which it is based, and Shannon's performance is brimming with fun and energy.

Even SNL fans will find this movie too long.

A pleasant surprise.

A stick-figure Rembrandt that provides neither the quick surreal poke of a TV satire nor the full lustre of an actual movie.

Mary Katherine Gallagher takes a little getting used to for the unwitting viewer. She grows on you, though, and, despite yourself, you get to like her quirky ways.

"Saturday Night Live"-sketch-turned-film is slight -- and surprisingly enjoyable.

Watching Molly Shannon make out with a tree is amusing, but not even someone of her comic endurance can drag out that joke for the entire doddering length of Superstar.

I've seen this sketch numerous times on SNL -- it isn't funny at five minutes, at 90 minutes it's unbearable.

Simply stated, there's not a movie's worth of story here.
