lifeofstas5 July 2017I have to say there aren't too many movies out there that are so bad that you have to keep watching until the end. The plot was quite predictable, the acting was horrendous, and the cinematography was barely up to par. I was also quite disappointed that Scott Eastwood, a man of a higher caliber, would accept a role and movie so diminishing to his career.
I basically wasted an hour and a half watching this. -
killerqueen-703954 July 2017...this sucked. And, I really like these actors. They tried their best with goofy material that rarely hits the mark. I give it 3 stars for taking aim at political correctness in spots, but it's not enough. The script's silliness brings groans where they wanted solid laughs. I wouldn't mind seeing the same cast with better material.

anamconcepcion9 November 2016So a guy who has failed the bar exam twice is working in a call centre who happens on a girl who has just been groped and then is harassed by the police should sound like the beginnings a of a set of chain of events that would have you rolling on the floor with laughter! Well I'm still wondering why this movie was made as it is so bad and I didn't laugh once. The story line feels like many of it's sketches were pulled from other movies of the 80's (Police Academy to name one) but failed to deliver any punches.
Having seen Scott Eastwood in a few other films I had hoped this would be a good addition to his repertoire but alas, it feels like it was a job only for the money. Let's hope he was paid decent for this lack luster attempt at film making. -
I hate this film enough to download the IMDb app just to write this review.
That might not mean much to the average user being that you don't know anything else about me, aside from the fact that I really hate this film, but it's a real attestment to how bad this film is. -
Gordon-116 April 2017This film tells the story of a handsome young man, who joins an acting class in order to be close to a beautiful female stranger. He encounters any strange events, but makes a bunch of friends along the way.
The story of "Walk of Fame" is really horrendous. It contains a parade of incredibly clichéd characters. Every major ethnic group is represented, and it also includes people of shorter stature, gays and lesbians. It is good to have a diverse cast, but in this film the cast is so forcefully put together that it looks more like a circus show. The story is basically a constant stream of either people being really nasty to each other, or acting really strange. The jokes with endless sexual innuendos are funny the first time, but really tiring after the tenth time. I do wonder why Scott Eastwood is involved with this horrendous project. His character rolls his eyes many times in the film, when unbelievable things happen. I can say that Eastwood's facial expression is actually genuine, because I can't believe what a train wreck I am watching on the screen. -
At the beginning of the movie, a young man, Scott Eastwood, is seen behind a shabby office desk taking calls from unsatisfied customers. After work, on a sunny afternoon he and his friend see a pretty blonde being assaulted by a creepy macho wrestler looking man. After this moment, the movie starts to fly out of control like a plane about to make an unexpected crash into an uncharted region. Then, just when you thought there would not be another cuss word, the crippled dwarf tells anyone around him to go f**k themselves. After that point, the terrible acting does not get any better and the crude and sexual remarks made by the other cast members only get worse. All in all, the movie had a happy ending but a terrible, terrible start.

lavatch27 June 2017The liberal film community of Hollywood prides itself on identity politics, taking a strong stand for the downtrodden and disenfranchised in our society. Yet the film "Walk of Fame" plays out like a string of jokes aimed against the gay, lesbian, dwarf, and the obese, going against the grain of the liberal Hollywood "message." Is this supposed to be good fun at the expense of those who are marginalized in today's world?
The flimsy plot concerned a law school grad unable to pass the bar or hold a job, who joins a studio for amateur actors run by a charlatan. The young man named Drew is not interested in acting, but is attracted to a young woman who is a student in the acting school.
Malcolm McDowell plays the phony acting guru, who exploits the acting students for profit. His main teaching method is to challenge the students to "discover the beast" within them that will allow them to express emotional outbursts on stage.
The film takes the form of "putting on a play," as the amateur actors will showcase their abilities for star-searching agents and talent scouts. The final performance wasn't funny or well-acted.
This film was written and directed by Jesse Thomas, who also plays the role of Drew's "new age" roommate named Hansel. It was never made clear how Hansel suddenly inserts himself into the actors' showcase, playing the role of the hero! Hansel never pays the fee to take acting classes, nor does he rehearse for the production. He merely shows up and upstages the other actors. Who knows? Perhaps Hansel was searching for Gretel!
Overall, this was a lackluster comedy produced by amateur actors. There may be an occasional one-liner that is humorous, but the film as a whole does not hold together. Rather, it resembles a high school skit or frat house party extravaganza. -
haylodad-1860620 January 2022Movie was gosh awful! It had bathroom humor and stereotyped negatively almost every class of people. Movie was so bad and I wanted to like it so much. I really want Scott Reeves (Eastwood) to become a great actor, but this movie set him him back. Laura Samuels is hot and I have to admit I only finished the movie to look at her.

tperkins-7319731 March 2017It seems that there is a trend in modern filmmaking to tame down movies and make them less controversial and blander. That is not the case with the bold new indie comedy Walk of Fame which dives head first into a raunchy and satirical point of view that makes it stand out from the crowd. The film revolves around a lawyer (Scott Eastwood) who after failing the Bar Exam twice decides to become an actor. He then begins taking classes at the so-called Star Maker Academy, under the tutelage of a far more than eccentric instructor played by Malcolm McDowell, who delivers a homerun of a performance. Throughout the course of the film, Scott Eastwood's character, Drew, must learn to cope with his classmates who aspire to a goal that they clearly will never achieve. This ensemble is where the film truly shines despite the incredible performances by the leading heavyweights. This is because of the multiple complex relationships between the characters lead to an unforeseeable and hilarious climax that will leave you very satisfied. Consequently, I will not give away what happens in the end but I will highly recommend seeing it for yourself.

trevorscott-2984030 March 2017Scott Eastwood stars as Drew, a melancholic dude that works at a call center and can't seem to pass the bar exam. After meeting Nikki, played by Laura Ashley Samuels, Drew decides to try acting and joins Star Maker Academy. Malcolm McDowell and Chris Kattan thrive as the acting coaches at the academy. This movie is one of a kind. It twists and turns through the plot and covers so many different situations. This gives the notable cast so many different angles to throw jokes. Oh they had locker room jokes to throw. They threw jabs, haymakers and a knockout punch. All of those big name actors and Jack Guzman as Rubisio Uchilieni steals the show. His character is absolutely electric from the minute he comes on camera. Another unknown actor that impressed was Jesse Thomas, this is his first movie and all he did was write, direct and act in it. The film was light hearted and entertaining. I would suggest it to anyone who's trying to relax and have a good laugh.

liuhenry30 March 2017Walk of Fame is truly a special comedy that was a very enjoyable watch. Scott Eastwood stars as Drew, a customer service representative that hates his job and can't make it into law school. Turning his attention to a new occupation and love interest, he follows the attractive and recently fired Laura Ashley Samuels (Nikki) into Star Maker Academy. The plot was based on a group of unique actors with various personalities that were trying to achieve stardom through acting school, headed by the eccentric and outlandish Evan Polus (Malcolm McDowell). Chris Kattan (Alejandro) was the instructor of the school's beginner class and was my favorite character of the film. His reactions to everyone's performances during the first class session had me laughing extremely hard. I thought the many different situations that resulted from the plot were hilarious because they touched base with every character's distinctive personality. I highly recommend this fun and light-hearted movie that is now available on VOD.

shanewaldron4 April 2017Our society has an obsession with celebrity and we are often fixated on every aspect of our favorite stars. From this, we have become quite familiar with this glorified version of Hollywood. However, things are switched up in Walk of Fame, which takes a lively crack at depicting how the other half struggles to make it in Jesse Thomas's vision of the more heinous side to Tinseltown. An oddball group of eccentric actors is introduced when Drew (Scott Eastwood) winds up following a love interest to her acting school in order to impress her. Each of the actors Drew encounters each have some strange quality that sets them widely apart from the average joe, especially when compared to Drew's everyday normalness. As Drew tries to navigate this strange world, hilarity ensues. By employing farcical humor, Jesse Thomas touches on a variety of subjects and stereotypes that are executed in perfect lighthearted fashion. Where you expect to have to rely on Eastwood for landing zingy one-liners and supplying witty humor, many of the supporting actors step up to the plate to help carry the film. Drew's best friend, Nate, as well as Rowe, one of the members of the acting class, especially impressed me. Other big names like Malcolm McDowell and Kris Kattan must also be acknowledged for their compelling performances despite having smaller roles. This all comes together via backstage fashion to help attribute a loony reality to the Hollywood sphere. Through this, Walk of Fame saves itself from falling trap to running the course of another conventional yet forgettable rom-com. Instead it manages to deliver a product that is both different and low key hilarious as long as you don't take it, nor yourself, too seriously.

cbornv2 April 2017Scott Eastwood, a star on the rise, takes a break from massive blockbusters ('Suicide Squad', 'Fate of the Furious') to play Drew, a struggling LA lawyer hoping to hop careers and catch his big break as an actor in the indie comedy 'Walk of Fame'. Unfortunately for Drew—but fortunately for audiences—the eclectic cast of characters he meets at the prestigious acting workshop Star-Maker Academy drag him down with them into lunacy. These wannabe thespians' uncontrollable lust for wealth and fame incites the film's outrageously over the top gags. 'Fame' delights in skewering the brutal business of trying to make it as an actor in the competitive Hollywood industry. In many ways, this approach (of ridiculing the industry depicted in the film) parallels Ben Stiller's 'Zoolander', which derived countless puns and gags from the pretentious modelling underworld. Any fan of raunchy comedies will find a lot to love here.

brandonbarbados4 April 2017The trials and tribulations that come with attempting to make a career out of acting are not often things we as moviegoers get to see, and especially get to see depicted or even talked about in movies. Walk of Fame tells an original quirky tale about a group of wannabe actors who are trying to find their roles in the spotlight of Hollywood. I thought that writer and director of the film, Jesse Thomas, did a great job at creating a world that focuses solely on that day-to-day process that goes into becoming a movie star. The irony Thomas uses to poke fun at that same process is not only what made the film worth smiling at, but also what helped the film yield an inspiring message: If you're looking to become an actor, don't give up despite how tough times may get; and if you're a struggling actor, you're not alone. Whether or not that message applies to you does not matter. This refreshing story is something I'd recommend to movie lovers, especially if you're in the mood for a good laugh!

sierranelson-7996030 March 2017In being a fan of raunchy and satirical comedy, I really enjoyed Walk of Fame. After Drew (Scott Eastwood) fails the bar exam again, he runs into Nikki (Laura Ashley Samuels) and follows her to "Star Maker Academy." This acting school is home to a group of unique struggling actors who all have something else to laugh and crack jokes about. Hansel, Drew's roommate, is played by writer and director Jesse Thomas and he was probably my favorite character. He was so over-the-top weird, it was hilarious. This was a different role for Eastwood, usually don't see him in comedies, but he did a great job. The jokes are raunchy and the humor is sarcastic, which is right up my alley so it had me laughing out loud. It's a quick and light watch, a great comedy for night at home relaxing with your friends.

seanrushdrive3 April 2017Films like Walk of Fame continue a welcomed tradition of simple films telling simple stories, albeit with a big punch of humor that levels the story, elevating this film to beyond enjoyable entertainment. The film stars Scott Eastwood an aspiring lawyer, Drew, who failed the bar exam twice. Idling at dead end jobs to pass the time, his big inspiration comes in the form of Nikki, a wannabe actress who attends an intense drama class led by the incomparable Malcolm McDowell. Drew follows his animal instincts and joins the class to get close to Nikki, but along the way challenges in the form of committed, idealistic classmates and McDowell's teaching style change his perception of showbiz. This film's humor is raging and when it delivers it does it was posh and shameless delight, which come as a big payoff with its storytelling. Walk of Fame is a film made by dreamers for dreamers looking for great laughs. This is entertainment at a basic, enjoyable level that will invite its viewer to sit down, relax and enjoy the ride.

Walk of Fame is unlike any rom com I've seen before in the way that puts its own twist to the genre with the unique characters and storyline. First time Director Jesse Thomas does a great job making a fun film that keeps the laughs coming in thick from beginning to end. Giving a backstage look at the struggles that upcoming actors encounter with a humorous twist to it, the constant chemistry that the characters demonstrate keep you intrigued throughout and always wondering what crazy thing is going to happen next. The story takes you on a roller-coaster of emotion throughout the film keeping up with the constant battle Drew faces trying to win over Nikki and everything in between. I definitely recommend this movie to people who enjoy some explicit humor and know how to keep things light.

jessicajuachon2 April 2017Walk of Fame is a fun indie comedy that follows young Drew (Scott Eastwood), through his experiences in a reluctant group of misfit actors. When Drew comes across former flight attendant Nikki (Laura Samuels), he follows her to her acting academy in hopes to win her over. Drew's journey however becomes much more than he anticipated with his added involvement in the acting academy. The acting professors, performed by renowned Malcolm McDowell, and Chris Kattan, added their own comedic flavor that I felt were both eccentric and unique. I also appreciated Jesse Thomas's involvement as the writer, director, as well as his role as Hansel; Drew's mysterious hippie roommate. I felt Hansel's character offered brief takes of physical humor, in a playful, yet mysterious manner. Overall the film left me feeling gleeful, from a fun and entertaining experience. If you're into movies like "Zoolander", or "American Pie", full of explicit, and adult humor, then you are in for a good laugh.

isaacushuaia4 April 2017Walk of Fame is exactly what you think it is raunchy and satirical entertainment! This film is filled to the brim with obnoxious, eye-brow raising humor that brings-to-mind both the American Pie and Scary Movie series. The plot centers around call-center employee Drew (Scott Eastwood) who has dreams of being a lawyer, or getting with Nikki (Laura Ashley Samuels), a flight attendant with actress ambitions. Fortunately, an opportunity for the latter presents itself through Star Maker Academy: an (maybe less then) elite acting school taught by both the passionate and egotistical Evan Polus (Malcom McDowell), and his flamboyant assistant Alejandro (Chris Kattan). Behind these acting heavyweights, Walk of Fame excels through the obnoxious interactions of Drew as he attempts to win over an out-of-his-league Nikki. This film is light and simple fun which is perfect for any group setting.
