    If only he was...

    OK, a little harsh, I wouldn't wish that on anyone but for gods sake don't bother with this film.

    An attempt at a comeback by the weasil, sounds like it may be funny but its not.

    Saved from the bin only by the cameos by alot of big names like Ben Stiller, Eminem [in the extras], Vince Vaughn and the tiny fella off Austin Powers.

    Pauly Shore isn't actually dead...

    This was entertaining but I think for Pauly Shore fans only. Parts of it were too rude and unnecessary I thought but when you ignore that, he is so funny. I wish he would have a career comeback! Long live Pauly Shore!

    If you like Pauly Shore, watch this!

    If you're someone who adores the Pauly Shore brand of humour (California Man, In The Army Now) it's awesome! If you didn't like those films, don't bother. It's Pauly Shore at his ultimate so if you don't like it, don't watch it. If you enjoyed them then game on! Sit back and enjoy because it's totally mental. Pauly Shore at his be st since Biodome, 'nuff said!

    garbage

    this movie was terrible. it was shot like a reality television series and was pauly shore at his worst, i thought it would be a bit of a laugh with pauly taking the piss out of himself. . . no. avoid at all costs.

    You'll never weiz in this town again.

    Renting this film, I was expecting a piss take, reality interviews of famous stars questioning them about the 'death' of Pauly Shore. The film is totally set-up from the get-go which I immediately question what I was really watching. Shot on hi-definition dv. It looks like a made for tv movie. However the actual quality of the set-ups aren't bad at all. The story tells a tale of Pauly Shore faking his own death in order to regain respect from his fans and to find out what people really thought of him. His plan backfires and he is arrested and put in jail where he battles with his inner demons and decides to learn acting at a mature level. There are a number of really good and funny moments in the film, Corey Feldman cameo is hilarious. The film is a lot more average than I thought it would be. Mostly tedious and boring, sometimes verges on greatness.

    What a find

    Watch this film.

    I had no expecttions going in to this and was so surprised that the film worked. It is evident that this film has been a labour of love for Pauly Shore. Some great jokes, a little drama, and an original story. I am sure I will watch this again.

    I don't know...

    I honestly didn't see what was supposed to be funny or interesting about this movie. Don't be fooled by the big names attached to it, they are cameos only.

    The only line I found really funny was a critic saying about Pauly Shore's TV show: 'it sucks worse than gravity.' I am not saying that this could be applied to this movie as well. Not quite.

    Don't bother to rent

    This film is absolutely terrible!!

    It was so terrible I'm trying to forget the story line, if there was one.

    A so called famous person, faking his death and coming back to life again.

    Crap.

    God almighty

    I know, I'll make an ironic film about the crap films I made that saw my career go down the pan.... and as a doubly ironic twist, I'll make this one the crappest of them all!

    At least it was only 75 minutes.
