"Bucky larson" - will it achieve the rare "0" rating on RottenTomatoes.com?

Sandler’s crap used to sell. It’s nice to see it getting the response it deserves.

I got really excited when the trailer started playing in the beginning of 30 Minutes or Less, but only because I thought it was a preview for a full-length Simple Jack. Sadly, it was not

I had heard of Bucky - but have seen nothing on Creature until now. Did they advertise it at all?

I saw ONE commercial for it. Looked like a Predator ripoff.

I don’t now about used to sell.

The last five movies he has actually carried as an actor:

Just Go With It - $103MM domestic, $215MM global
Grown Ups - $162MM domestic, $271MM global
Funny People - $51MM domestic, $71MM global
Bedtime Stories - $110MM domestic, $212MM global
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan - $100MM domestic, $199MM global

The two other movies in the last five years he produced but didn’t star in:

Paul Blart: Mall Cop - $146MM domestic, $183MM global
The House Bunny - $48MM domestic, $70MM global

I’m guessing that even if Bucky Larson doesn’t go on to make some money beyond the theaters that they’ll let Sandler keep making movies.

But that’s not the weird thing. You could smell Bucky’s stink through the computer or tv just by looking at the character. The weird thing is Main Street. That’s a movie with an all-star cast. Orlando Bloom, Amber Tamblyn, Andrew McCarthy, Colin Firth, Ellen Burstyn, and Patricia Clarkson. And it’s also at 0, although with only 6 reviews.

Has there ever been a weekend when two 0-rated movies debuted?

But we have heard about Bucky Larson. We have heard so much about it that I would really like them to stop.

Before you posted about Main Street, I hadn’t heard of it at all.

Reading a couple of those reviews, I’m not surprised. They may have an all-star cast, but even the “climax” sounds like a letdown.

Same thought here. I can’t recall ever having not heard AT ALL about such a wide release. Nothing.

My theory is that Hollywood wanted to launch two box office catastrophes this weekend as a tribute to the catastrophe of the Twin Towers collapse 10 years ago.

[Evil_Captor]

Add me in as another who never heard of “Creature” until this thread. The movie either had no marketing, or terrible marketing.

“OK, guys, I know this sounds crazy, but it just might work! We’re going to spend our entire ad budget on 3 am spots on the Golf Channel and Korean TV!”

[obfusciatrist]

The first weekend after Labor Day is a pretty common dumping ground (as, to a certain degree is the entire month of September). If you think you have a quality movie you put it later in the year for awards and if you think you have a commercial movie you get it into theaters before school starts again.

Michael Caine is famous for not being picky about what roles he takes. It would be silly for a plumber to only work with copper pipes, and turn down all other jobs, so why should an actor only work on productions with classy scripts?

“I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”

-Michael Caine, commenting on his role in Jaws: The Revenge.

I thought he was the real life Bucky Larson.

Is he even in this movie? It’d make more sense of have Ricci or Johnson popping up randomly than him even if he was. I can’t wrap my head around why Sandler would let his annoying friend in the commercial, unless it was related to a drunken bet.

IMDB shows that he (Peter Dante) is reprising his role as Dante from Grandma’s Boy. IIRC the character is a drug dealer with an inexplicable patois. As for why put him in the trailer: Happy Madison does weird for weird’s sake.

Has anyone else noticed that the commercials for this movie completely stopped some time this week? I guess the folks behind the movie decided to stop wasting their money.

I hope they lost a lot of money.

[Rex_Goliath]

Bucky Larson still sitting at 0%. Mission accomplished.

[kenobi_65]

According to BoxOfficeMojo, it grossed about $2.5 million in the U.S., meaning that somewhere around 250,000 people actually paid good money to see it.
