Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star Reviews

Comedy Cheese

If you enjoy the likes of Adam Sandler and the Saturday Night Live films, this is for you.

Dickie Roberts is a down on his luck actor that used to be famous. He's up for a role in a film but does not have the rounded character to play the part. Dickie decides that the best way to improve himself is to relive is childhood with an ordinary family.

This film is very cheesy but its the kind of comedy that I just like. Sit back and enjoy this no brain film. Spade is funny with is dead pan humour and you have to like him even though he is a jerk.

This film was brought to you by the people behind The Waterboy, Deuce Bigalow and Joe Dirt. If you liked those films you will love this!

Child Actors Rescued from Professional Hell

Dickie Roberts is quite a fun film. It is not the best film or even the funniest film but it is overall entertaining. Spade does his usual acting without much diversity but it is enjoyable. McCormack gives another winning performance as the mother and the two kids are not overly American sickly. The film is not consistent but it does have the added bonus of former child stars cameoing throughout the film. I have to say the highlight 'We Are the World' finale during the closing credits with former child stars singing was excellent. It was good to see some old faces again.

i thought this was going to be one of those comedy movies that tries to hard to make me laugh and i just wait for the end but i can definately say this movie tickled me more that Starsky & Hutch. Some very off key jokes at the start that were right down my alley tail off to milder laughs later on when the movie goes a bit disney but by that time i was having a good time. I enjoyed all the child TV stars in cameos. Nice to give them decent work for a change.

feel good, won't feel happy

A predictable feel-good comedy with little humour. The feable story does not help either, nor the cameo from past child stars (who are they again)?

Better avoid this one.

Happy Madison productions....need to say any more?

Having seen most of adam sandlers movies and liked them a lot i was keen to see this movie as well.

other happy madison productions such as duece bigalow had the same kind of slap stick comedy as his films do but with the chance to see over actors taking the lead role.

Personally i thought this film was great. It did not require and brains to follow it and the story was simple enough but the jokes were there and i got exactly what i wanted.

Fairly decent

not a bad film, which is quite funny in parts. the story is not bad either

Easy watching

I'll be ridiculed for giving this movie 4 stars but what we have here is a very feel good movie that doesn't patronise the viewer.

From the Sandler stable of movies, David Spade takes the reigns as Dickie and really gets under the skin of this pushy mother society. Spade is desperate to get back into the limelight, not for fame or fortune but for the love of his mother, who ditched him when the ratings on his show dropped and the series was canned.

Hiring a family to get into the head of a part in a movie that all of hollywood is after, Spade learns that love is given unconditionally.

There are alot of familiar faces that make this movie even more fun than it is funny.

Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003)

Hilarious documentary. This movie does manage to take you back to the days of being a child.

very

very bad indeed very very bad, awful.

David spade fans will love this

if you are a fan of david spade then you should enjoy this movie that gets better as it goes along. There are some VERY enjoyable cameos (mostly american stars) that raise a smile and drag this movie up from an average run of the mill 2stars
