Very few films scream Golden Raspberry Award nominee like Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star. The film set new extremes in annoying marketing including Joe Rogan screaming in the trailer. Nick Swardson takes what could have been a forgettable three minute sketch on his Comedy Central show and expands it into a horrific feature length film. How could he do this? He called on his good buddy Adam Sandler. The duo do not pull any punches in stooping to gross humor as Bucky goes to Hollywood to be an adult superstar. This is like Boogie Nights if performed by people at an ether factory. Now you can take the badness home on January 17. Here’s the press release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment:
