2/10
I blame the writers.

Currently, "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star" is number 59 on IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 List---the 100 lowest ranked major releases of all time. While I wouldn't consider this one of the worst in my opinion, I can see exactly why the film was hated by so many. The writing simply is awful....with not even a single laugh in the movie even though it's supposed to be a comedy. Instead of humor, the film resorts to crudeness. Crude CAN be funny....such as the cute film "Stepbrothers". But crude with no humor whatsoever is simply annoying and boorish....and this film has that in spades.

Bucky (Nick Swardson) is a guy from Iowa who is intensely stupid as well as possessing teeth like Bugs Bunny.....a joke that wears thin very quickly. After discovering that his parents used to be porn stars, instead of being repulsed or embarrassed, he thinks it's cool. So, his folks encourage him to trek to California to be a part of the porn industry. Hillarity SHOULD ensue...but it doesn't.

Unfunny, very crude and ample evidence that Adam Sandler (yes, THAT Adam Sandler) should not write films. Overall, an unfunny and disgusting film that held no interest at all to me as I tried to watch. I could mention all the various offensive things featured in the film...but I am pretty sure IMDB would not allow me to mention them.
