This is Spade's third attempt at leading-man status, and I will admit it is his best lead role to date. But when your other two films were Joe Dirt and Lost and Found, it's not like the bar was raised very high.

Sorry to say, but it's hard to imagine too much that's worse than sitting through this uneven, contrived big screen version of People magazine's "Where Are They Now?" column.

Spade doesn't look to have the confidence to flourish in such a mainstream film.

Not at all funny David Spade movie.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 22, 2010

Has nothing of value to offer other than a dizzying number of cameos by former child stars, each of whom is only momentarily amusing as a voyeuristic opportunity to compare the grown-up on screen to the kid ever emblazoned upon our mind's eye.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 9, 2007

A toothless, predictable showbiz comedy about the trials and tribulations of ... a has-been sitcom golden child who would do anything for a comeback.

A wince-inducing comedic atrocity.

Instead of seeing Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, you could...pierce yourself with sharp objects.

If the filmmakers had resisted the urge to make it so adorable and meaningful, this could have been a terrific comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 23, 2004

Dickie Roberts is a lot funnier than it has any right to be... considering it's a David Spade comedy and counts Adam Sandler among its executive producers.

This was a hysterical, shocking, and depressing movie that will have you feeling that you are old.
