My expectations were very low for "Superstar", a film based on a series of "Sarurday Night Live" sketches. Even though the movie is pointless and hopelessly conventional, it is also very funny and quite entertaining. Molly Shannon is quirky and charming as Mary Catherine Gallagher, a geeky Catholic girl who just wants to be famous. The film also stars Will Ferrell, Tom Green, and Casey Wilson. There is almost no story in "Superstar", but this is a type of movie that does not require a story to entertain. Mary wants to be kissed by the hottest and most popular guy in school and decides to enter a talent show to impress him. The movie is smarter than you might think. Molly Shannon is a highly underrated comedic actress. The film also features a very funny performance by Will Ferrell as the object of Mary's affection. "Superstar" is weird, quirky, and very entertaining. All things considered, "Superstar is quite good and is easily the best "SNL" film.
