Delivers plenty of laughs and succeeds on a level that recent ``SNL'' movies (``It's Pat!'' and ``A Night at the Roxbury'') didn't.

In Mary Katherine Gallagher's dogged perseverance, it's easy to find not only cheap laughs but real soul. In her way, she's a saint.

Considerably less fun than a marathon of Star Search episodes.

No dice...But no apologies are needed for Shannon--she earns her star spot.

What's funny for 5 minutes doesn't make for a full-length movie.

Bless me, Father, for I actually laughed once during this gosh-awful spinoff...about as funny as an oozing fever blister.

If Superstar were meatloaf--and that would be an improvement--the recipe would be 4 pounds bread crumbs to 3 ounces sirloin. Make that chuck.

As fun as it is absurd. This under rated comedy carries a few chuckles with it. We follow the dreams of an awkward highschool teenager (who is clearly mid thirties lol) as she pursues her dreams of **** in a school talent contest. The cast of 90s hollywood comedians are great throughout with a fun sense of positive energy from start to finish.Switch your brain off and enjoy the silly set pieces and setups. Superstar!!

Sophomoric movie about annoying protagonist. Awkward more than funny. Will Ferrell as Jesus provides most amusing moments. Lame overall.

Literally does not have any rhythm and so therefore she dislikes the top. The worst part is she performs like she has no experience and probably needs 3 to 4 participants with shea butter. L McEldow
