Michael Rechtshaffen Hollywood Reporter What might have achieved a degree of cult status across the pond when it was aired in 10-minute installments, struggles to pass big-screen scrutiny in a feature-length treatment that hinges on the flimsiest of plot lines. Oct 28, 2004 Full Review Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle The impersonations are hit and miss to the point of distraction. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 22, 2004 Full Review Jami Bernard New York Daily News The audience will be small for Stella Street, a daft mockumentary based on a BBC-TV skit about celebrities who converge on suburbia. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 22, 2004 Full Review David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com One decent Michael Caine impersonation alone, it turns out, does not qualify you for a major motion picture. Rated: 1/5 Jan 14, 2005 Full Review Tony Medley tonymedley.com Two people walked out of the screening in the first half hour and the man sitting next to me slept through it. When it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Rated: 1/10 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide What's funny at five minutes can be tragedy at 90. Rated: 2/5 Oct 22, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not nearly as good as the series. The impressions by Phil Cornwell and John Sessions (plus Ronni Ancona) are still great, and spot-on, but, beyond that, the movie is quite weak. Has some incredibly funny moments, but many flat spots too. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I laughed my ass of with several scenes! This is just mocking the big celebs, a, in my opinion good satire of the time that remarkably several pop stars and moviestars moved in on stella street! Only 3 actors carry this flick outstandingly, for sure Phil with Micheal Cane, thats true! some characters i wasnt aware that it was Phil and John who did them.Some are done better than others, but surely the main characters are great!pretty hilarious situations occur, all gets tangled, some excitement, a lot of weirdness. enjoyed it a lot! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The concept is interesting, the film is not. A not very funny comedy, with a stupid plot, uninspired acting and misguided direction. There is some very real talent in the celebrity impersonations though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved Stella St. as a TV series, unfortunately it doesn't work so well as a feature film. This worked so well on TV as the inherent randomness of what you were seeing was surreal. The fact that you had Jack Nicholson and Joe Pesci etc. living in Suburbia next to Jimmy Hill in this little world is just nuts. The cast are great, especially loved John Sessions take on Joe Pesci and Al Pacino, very nice work indeed. The problem here is that the story is not that great. It's a shame really. I'm a huge fan of Peter Richardson, his work on the Comic Strip presents in the 80's was phenomenal. I just don't think that this plays to his strengths. Whilst I'm not a huge fan of this, it has left me hankering for the show, which is a good thing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't like impressionists as a rule - so why did I watch a 80 minute film starring impressionists - and John Sessions - I hear you ask - good question. Dull as dishwater Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member wow what a good movie 2 watch....imn a really huge fan of the tv show because its so really enjoyable n its just so really funny as well but this is a good take of from the hit tv show of the same name,,,its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie.,..i think that the director of this Art House & International, Drama, Comedy movie had done a really good job of directing this movie its really enjoyable as well...i think that phil cornwell who plays jack nicholson is great at playing him because he is a really funny man..its a good Art House & International, Drama, Comedy movie 2 watch but i think i prefer the tv show because its much better but there both so good n funny in there own ways Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
