    That Bucky Larson's humor is stuck at a toilet-centric grade school level is less damning than how little of that or any humor it contains - the film, directed by Tom Brady (The Hot Chick), sets up scene after scene that wanders around in the general vicinity of a joke idea without ever approaching anything like a punchline.

    Bucky Larson is a one-note joke played over and over and over.

    Never thought we'd say this about a movie, but Bucky Larson probably doesn't wring as much out of recurring bodily-fluid gags as it could.

    It's an ugly movie to look at and a faintly nauseating one to sit through, truth be told.

    lol saw this in theaters; i knew it would be dumb, but i was shocked at just how dumb it was; there were parts that had me laughing uncontrollably, and other parts that tried way to hard to be funny.

    all in all its pretty bad movie; its almost so bad that its good; but it falls just short of that.    … Expand

    Who ever keeps thinking crap like this (film?) should be made are devoid of all talent.
    A lot of the stars in this movie are ...ok actors, but     this movie has done a great disservice to them all.
    Skip it or burn it your choice.    … Expand
