Jake T It's stupid, brainless humor. Not gonna win any awards, but it made me laugh. A lot. Similar to "The Benchwarmers" and "You Don't Mess with the Zohan", it's a great movie to watch when stressed, bored, or just in need of a good intellectual hiatus. The goofy, over-the-top Midwestern folks, the grossly exaggerated fish-out-of-water jokes, and the onanism tutorial scene will make you chuckle and shake your head in bemusement. Give it a chance. You might hate yourself for laughing, but it's a fun way to waste 90 minutes.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Audience Member Alright, boys, let’s talk about Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star. I went into this one like a rookie in his first beer league shift—hopeful, maybe a little buzzed, but mostly just looking for some good old-fashioned fun. Instead, I got rocked in open ice by one of the worst comedy efforts I’ve seen in a while. The plot follows Bucky (Nick Swardson), a socially awkward small-town kid who finds out his parents were adult film stars. Naturally, he takes off to Hollywood to follow in their...uh...skate marks? What follows is a series of cringe-worthy gags, a performance that makes a bad fourth-liner look like Connor McDavid, and humor that feels like a bad chirp that doesn’t land. Swardson is trying, I’ll give him that—like a guy who can’t skate but still hustles in the corners. But man, the script doesn’t do him any favours. The jokes are predictable, the pacing’s slower than a defenseman on beer number six, and the whole thing just feels like a missed scoring chance on an open net. Don Johnson and Christina Ricci show up, probably questioning their life choices like a guy who signed up for a summer league in July. Now, I won’t lie—there were a couple of moments that got a chuckle out of me, like when you see a guy toe pick during warmups. But overall, this flick was painful. It’s the hockey equivalent of getting benched after your first shift for a bad giveaway. You might finish watching out of stubbornness, but you know you should’ve just gone for a skate instead. Final verdict? Bucky Larson is the kind of movie you throw on in the background while taping your stick, knowing full well you won’t actually pay attention. A solid 1.5/5—0.5 for effort, 0.5 for the accidental laughs, and 0.5 for making me appreciate literally any other comedy. --- Deer Hair Review.

Don Johnson was good too. Ricky & Johnson held the show together Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review yuki dilla h A severely misguided and inept comedy incapable of even telling its single joke properly. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review thiago s Filme ruim, o roteiro é ruim, as cenas do bucky são fracas e sem graça, os personagens são muito fracos e não ajudam em porra nenhuma no filme, a história é levemente interessante, mas não melhora o filme, e nem o Nick swarsdon como protagonista no filme faz o filme ser relevante ou bom, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme ruim.
