Molly Shannon brings her Saturday Night Live character Mary Katherine Gallagher to the silver screen. A mildly hyperactive Catholic school student convinced that she smells bad, Mary Catherine has a dream: she wants a boy to kiss her. Not just any old sloppy teenage make-out party kind of smooch, but the sort of kiss that will make her tingle with joy from head to toe. The trouble is, boys aren't all that interested in Mary Catherine, especially not Sky (Will Ferrell), the boy she'd most like to

A pleasant surprise.
Contrasting the erotic with the disgusting is usually provocative and can be funny, but not in this underdog comedy.
A stick-figure Rembrandt that provides neither the quick surreal poke of a TV satire nor the full lustre of an actual movie.
There's really no reason for anyone to see this film except die hard Shannon fans.
Superstar may not be the most unnecessary movie of the year, but it's got to rank right up there.
Sluggish and predictable.
Even SNL fans will find this movie too long.
Mary Katherine Gallagher takes a little getting used to for the unwitting viewer. She grows on you, though, and, despite yourself, you get to like her quirky ways.
This movie manages to have more touching and hilarious moments than most schlock comedies could hope for.
Much more enjoyable than the sketches on which it is based, and Shannon's performance is brimming with fun and energy.
I've seen this sketch numerous times on SNL -- it isn't funny at five minutes, at 90 minutes it's unbearable.
"Saturday Night Live"-sketch-turned-film is slight -- and surprisingly enjoyable.
Seriously awful one-joke stupidity.
In the higher middle of producer Lorne Michaels' cinematic oeuvre.
Bikini waxing and pulling chin hairs is much more enjoyable.
While the plot is well-worn and somewhat clumsily put together, the fine performance of Shannon as the main character powers the movie along pretty well until the film stumbles to its predictable conclusion.
Funny but a bad movie, very stupid

So awful! There are no words. Expected better from Will Ferrell especially.
