I don t know what to think of that movie, lol It was good. Funny and worth the watch. Pauley is one of my all time favorites. I hope to see him in some blockbusters to come.

A very funny mockumentary that shows Pauly Shore is able to make fun of himself. There is many fun celebrity cameos and the best was from Charlie Sheen. If you enjoy Pauly Shore's movies then you will enjoy this and even if you do not enjoy his movies he does not put in his typical weasel shtick.

This "movie" is so amateurish it feels intentional. There's tons of unfortunate sexism, racism & homophobia, made worse by the fact that Shore is playing himself. The amount of star cameos implies a bunch of random favors were called-in. However, the oddity of this project's conceit is undeniable. A pseudo-genius mix of autobiography & complete fiction, it shows a Pauly Shore who is more self-aware & self-effacing than I would've imagined. Unfortunately, it's messiness outshines its boldness.

If youre a real fan of Pauly Shore then you will love everything about this film, If you only care for the "Encino Man" version of him then this might disappoint you. just so you know

Pauly Shore will never die! Personally, I love the Weasel... So long as his adventures don't exceed 90 minutes, that said, even at 80 minutes Pauly Shore is Dead is an overlong mess, but it isn't nearly as offensive as wheezing the juice.

Will probably matter only slightly to Shore's fans, but this patchy film will hardly deliver Shore the crossover breakout he so sorely desires nor the admiration due a talented film auteur.

Key revelation is that Shore is a bitter, unpleasant, petty, humourless little man--and that his stoned weasel song and dance isn't doing that great a job of hiding it.

...the movie turns into a game of spot the cameo more than anything else.
