Yes, it's time for another lame big- screen version of a Saturday Night Live skit. This time, it's Mary Catherine Gallagher--the annoying Catholic school girl who can't seem to fit in with the rest of the students.

In Superstar, Mary attempts to defeat the odds by winning a talent contest and the heart of the most popular guy in school (played by funny SNL comedian Will Farrell).

I've always said that there's nothing worse than a comedy that isn't funny . . . and this film isn't funny. Superstar is a tedious, one joke movie that's more obnoxious than anything else. Molly Shannon is a comedian of range and she proves it in her physical shtick, but watching this character in a full length movie didn't work at all.

Dare I say it, this was a worse experience than last year's dreadful A Night At The Roxbury. God, please let there not be a Craig and Ariana cheerleader movie!

This movie is a cult for me and my friends, it's just greatly insane! I even got a Mary Catherine Gallagher doll for my birthday!

I thougth the movie Superstar was great ! Needless to say the story line wasn't all that interesting. But watching Mary Catherine was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Just no big deal, down to earth funny! I think we've all wanted to act like that at one time or another. As a matter of fact the video is being passed around the office so everyone can see it. Our new "catch phrase" is "SUPERSTAR!"

this movie is so frickin hilarious. if you want a movie that will keep you laughing, but not too much where you get a headache...this is it! This is such an awesome movie because there are so many SNL cast members. Whoever says that these jokes aren't funny because they are too lame...HELLOOOO that is whats so funny about them...DUH! so screw Superstar haters!
