Bucky Larson is a simple-minded, uneducated, beaver-toothed young man still living with his protective parents, Jeremiah and Debbie Larson, in a small Iowa town. Initially saddened when he is fired from his job as a bagger at a supermarket, he eventually sees it as a sign that he is destined for greatness in another field. Based on information he learns, Bucky believes that destiny is to become a porn star, despite being a virgin who has only recently learned about masturbation. With his parents' blessing, Bucky hops on a bus to Los Angeles to make it big there as a porn star and is taken under the wings of a few people in LA. On the professional side, he meets the reigning king of porn, Dick Shadow, who only sees him as a laughingstock. Then washed-up porn director Miles Deep stumbles across what he sees as an untapped niche market for Bucky's limited talents and must try to convince investors who see Bucky as the exact antithesis of porn. On the personal side, Bucky befriends young ... Written by Huggo
"I'm the son of two movie stars...that's like a super-duper movie star." Bucky Larson (Swardson) is working as a bagger at a grocery store when he gets into a fight with his manager. Depressed, he goes to his friends house to watch a "nude" movie. When he sees his parents on the screen he finds his destiny. Going in I saw the reviews for this (2.2 out of 10 on IMDb, 33 out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes) and I am usually skeptical of bad reviews. Like most good ones they tend to exaggerate how good or bad a movie is. This is did not. This is awful. A few funny parts mixed in with the same joke over and over and over. The best part of this movie hands down is Kevin Nealon but he is not in it enough. I will say that I have seen worse, but this is a movie that people will watch out of curiosity and may regret it. Overall, not the worst comedy I have seen, but without Nealon it may have been. I give it a D+.
