One decent Michael Caine impersonation alone, it turns out, does not qualify you for a major motion picture.

The idea doesn't travel well, either from Britain to America, or from TV to the movies.

Top CriticWhat might have achieved a degree of cult status across the pond when it was aired in 10-minute installments, struggles to pass big-screen scrutiny in a feature-length treatment that hinges on the flimsiest of plot lines.
10/28/04
Top CriticTwo people walked out of the screening in the first half hour and the man sitting next to me slept through it. When it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.
10/23/04
What's funny at five minutes can be tragedy at 90.
10/22/04
The impersonations are hit and miss to the point of distraction.
10/22/04
Top CriticThe audience will be small for Stella Street, a daft mockumentary based on a BBC-TV skit about celebrities who converge on suburbia.
10/22/04
Top CriticStella Street is worth the stroll, potholes and all.
10/22/04
Stella Street isn't saying anything particularly deep or insightful about celebrity culture.
10/22/04
A sporadically amusing curiosity that falls short of effectively satirizing the public's fixation with the minutiae of celebrity lives.
10/22/04
Top CriticThe cast of the popular BBC sketch-comedy series reunites for a feature-length comedy, but the concept doesn't translate well to the longer form.
10/21/04
Top CriticPart mockumentary, part sketch humor, Stella Street achieves only sporadic success as a movie.
10/21/04
Stella Street is the road best not taken.
10/21/04
Top CriticIt grows repetitive and tiresome as only material meant for the short attention span can.
10/21/04
Stella Street goes from can-I-laugh- yet? to wanna-go- home in about three minutes.
10/20/04
Top CriticThe story and tone are so confused and the caliber of impersonations so inconsistent, the film will please only the most Anglophilic of audiences.
10/20/04
Manages to sustain its single-joke premise -- a mockumentary about A-list celebs living in an average Brit suburb -- over feature length.
