Bucky Larson, born to be a star. AKA Adam Sandler's little man.

Bucky Larson can be summed up in two words: Adam Sandler. After all, he is one of the writers. If you’re a fan of Sandler humor like Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Little Nicky, etc., you’ll notice a similar vibe to this movie. Bucky Larson (Nick Swardson) is an Iowa boy of limited intelligence who is happy in his small town life as a grocery bagger until he gets fired. He discovers that his parents were popular pornstars in the 70s, when acting was optional and shaving was rare. Taking this as a sign of his destiny, he heads to Los Angeles to make nude movies.

Here Bucky meets Kathy McGee (Christina Ricci), a waitress in a dive diner that would make Mel’s Diner look like trendy bistro. As in most Sandler type films, the ultra-hot, yet damaged girl takes a shine to the raw honesty and kindness of the court jester who never really seems to understand nearly everyone in the movie is making fun of him.

After being humiliated by Dick Shadow (Stephen Dorff), the current porn industry’s top dog, Bucky is taken on by Miles Deep (Don Johnson) who is down on his luck and trying to take advantage of Bucky’s parents’ fame. Bucky becomes a success due to the “smallness” of his “character.” In comparison, women everywhere are becoming satisfied with their significant other’s “character,” which makes the men happy.

Following the Sandler checklist, Bucky becomes a success until those who are taking advantage of him, realize they are being bad people, and decide to spare Bucky the life of torment as the living joke. Hot girl and joker ride off into the happy sunset.

Besides the constant “dick joke” theme, and the “it’s ok to make fun of people who are too dumb to know they’re being made fun of” lines, the best reason to see this movie, if you have to, is to see Christina Ricci and maybe a few of your favorite porn stars, though most are clothed. Technically I think boobs were flashed only twice, so if you think a porn-themed comedy would have lots of nudity, you’ll be disappointed.

There are parts that will make you laugh, so I would save the money on the movie and wait for the rental.
