Summary: 3 Stars
For those who care about Pauly Shore flicks, there are SPOILERS here:
It begins with Charlie Sheen consoling Paulie Shore over Paulie's down-spiraled career. The next day finds the maid encountering Paulie's corpse, apparently a death by suicide. Then, through roughly a half hour of flashbacks, Paulie's voice-over narrates the sequential rise and demise of his television and film career, from being a top MTV personality and starring in fan-favorites Encino Man and Son-in-Law to, sadly, having to fire his staff and crew (who promptly celebrate), having to vacate his nice crib, and being berated by incoming new crib owner Carrottop: "It still smells like Pauly in here!" One night, Pauly is visited by Sam Kinison's ghost who advises him to fake his death because people are more appreciated when they die. The flashbacks are capped with Paulie staging his own demise. Then, cut to the present, as the film unveils the repercussions of the Weasel's passing: Pauly Shore is now hailed as a comic genius, he is on every magazine cover, his fans are holding vigils, MTV has a 48 hour salute to Pauly, there is a "girls who slept with Pauly" segment on Jerry Springer, Dr. Dre is reminiscing of when he used to blaze with him...ahh, good times for the postmortem great man. Then, his current un-dead status is nosed out by a precocious little girl and, soon, the police are busting down the door of his hideaway and clapping cuffs on his protesting person. He is incarcerated in the prison's celebrity wing and, bolstered with the support and hard-earned wisdom of the cons, including his Koran-reading cellmate Todd Bridges, becomes a wiser, better man. He is soon released and now can be seen filming with co-star Sean Penn. Run end credits.
Pauly Shore's farcical mockumentary, while scathingly funny, also doubles as an incisive look into the underbelly of Tinseltown. The backbiting, the double-dealing, the jealousies, the paranoia, the constant need to be on top and in the public consciousness...these Hollywood demons are all present and are given proper satirical consideration. Pauly dragoons his Hollywood bud-dies (some of 'em A-listers) into making hilarious spoofy cameos, and some are very funny indeed with their commentary about the dearly departed Mr. Shore, particularly the two very catty phone pals Ben Stiller and Bill Maher.
There are so many funny bits strewn throughout this film: Britney Spears, on wondering who Pauly Shore is, declares, "Oh, yeah, he's that guy that used to be on MTV before I was born."; Tom Sizemore hits on a honey, who accuses him of being "that creepy guy from the movies!" Tom's instant response: "No, that's Michael Madsen." The viewer also becomes privy to Pauly's encounter with Fred Durtz (Limp Bizkit) before the band became famous and we also learn what befell Rico Suave.
I've never been a fan of Pauly Shore and I never did get his weird humor. The only film of his I really enjoyed was Son-in-Law. The rest of his pictures alternately sucks and blows. But, for one semi-shiny moment, Pauly has found his ideal niche - mockumentaries!! It's a bit sad that his best cinematic effort had to involve his true-to-life Tinseltown career inadequacies. But, if Pauly can take it, I can recommend it. So check it out. Or else he'll do Jury Duty 2.
Movie Review: could have been better
Summary: 3 Stars
I really dont think pauly's that bad a guy, he can be funny at moments, and this film definitly had a few laugh out loud moments. one of the major criticisms i have for this movie is it's poor production value, but it was created on a shoestring budget, and i give him credit for doing it. the next thing is some of the actors in this movie were really horrible, i mean vomit inducing, fred durst for example. the concept of the movie is pretty cool, and pauly's pretty good in it, but a director he is not, a good director would not have let alot of the flubbed dialoge into the final cut. Although i think if a major studio decideds to remake this movie with pauly it would be a major hit.Movie Review: Painful to watch
Summary: 3 Stars
If you thought Pauly Shore's life was sad from watching his TBS series "Who's Minding the Store?" then you'll be reduced to tears after watching this movie. I'm giving it three stars because he does have that gifted ability to be funny. The beginning with Charlie Sheen is dead on with its "candid" humor. After that, it just drags. Only see if you really care about Pauly Shore, or if you are drunk.
