    After seeing this movie I realized that Jamie Kennedy is one of the most talented, under appreciated actors in the business.

    Starfucker (which reads Starstruck on my box) was the most amazing movie I have ever seen. I thought that it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. So why not a 10? Nothing is perfect. Jamie Kennedy proves why he is one of my favorite actors in this very interesting look at a darker side of Hollywood. I have forced a few others to watch the movie and they all agreed that it was an outstanding flick.

    This is a good film.

    This is one of my favorite movies. It's funny and clever and surprising in a way that movies used to be in the good old days (the seventies?). It's not nearly as horrible as some of the reviews here spell out in excruciating detail. You'd think, from the negative reviews, that this was made by a self-indulgent director, with a no-talent cast, poorly edited and lacking any coherent plot.

    Nothing could be further from the truth--which makes me wonder why such evil reviews were posted. This movie is very well made. The casting is perfect. The acting is first rate. The film as a whole comes together in a way that just "clicks." It's a very good little art film about Hollywood that has been very unfairly treated--not just ignored, but condemned. I would recommend that if you are a film buff and you liked, say, "Singing in the Rain" (not that I'm comparing them) or "Barton Fink" you should do yourself a favor and see this. If you hate it, well, you have your reasons. As for me, I will keep watching this classic over and over and over. And enjoying it.

    Jaime Kennedy should stick to Scream movies

    I have declared that Starstruck should be erased from the minds of the public and from Hollywood. This movie was the most horrible thing to hit a film reel since "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer". At no point during the movie did I see anything that resembled quality or acting, with the exception of the lovely Amy Smart (Outside Providence). She was the only saving grace for this entire film . Not since Rip Torn's "Beastmaster" have I been more willing to throw a movie out the window. Garbage like this should never be made and I consider "Starstruck" to be a complete waste of the production company's money and my time. Lucky for me this was on a movie channel and I didn't have to pay to watch one of the biggest wastes of film in cinema history

    Funny as hell

    The version I saw of this film was the Blockbuster rental with a similar title, but a swear word in it.

    This film was funny as hell. It was also true to the bone. If you have ever spent time in Hollywood or the area around it, you will understand the humor. If not, you may not 'get it' at all.

    The story of two people in the business struggling to make it until they finally reach a breaking point, it is a rare gem. It states it is a drama, but it is a drama as much as Deer Hunter is a comedy.

    Loren Dean is wonderful, as always, as a supporting actor. Jamie Kennedy was able to hold his own well. His performance is especically impressive during the poodle scene. The only downside was Carmen Electra but we can't have everything.

    An amazing movie...

    I found this film to be outstanding. There's nothing more refreshing than a blatantly sexual film depicting overweight bakers in a race against time, trying to prevent death by popcorn drowning. What's more, the ending, a satirical look at today's current events, is more satisfying than that of the likes of the Shawshank Redemption, or the Deer Hunter. I give this movie a ten out of ten, for not only good acting, but a horribly unbelievable plot which actually seems plausible.
