    A hip comic curio.

    A sporadically amusing curiosity that falls short of effectively satirizing the public's fixation with the minutiae of celebrity lives.

    Surprisingly humor-free. Worse, with the exception of Cornwell's brilliant Bowie, the impersonations aren't particularly good, and can be found in any two-bit comedian's repertoire.

    A huge problem with the whole shebang is that the impressions (all courtesy Cornwell and Sessions) are shaky at best.

    Once the filmmakers have got the celebrities settled into Stella Street, they have a hard time figuring out what to do with them. Stella Street is the road best not taken.

    Some of the jokes will elude Americans while the movie's hip quotient gradually fades away.
