Pauly Shore Is Dead (2003)

Great idea, terrible production

This would have worked much better if Pauly had someone get reactions from celebrities (even fake ones) from the red carpet. But he didn't.

Instead Pauly produces a lame, laughless series of scenes featuring "himself" and other semi-celebs being "Not-Funny". althought he scene with Carrot Top buying Pauly's house is pretty funny.

Overall the film falls flat trying to be both surreal and funny, leaving the viewer saying, "What?" a lot.

Ugh

The screenplay, if one can call this one note monstrosity that, was written by Shore and some guy named Kirk Fox, yet it all smacks of being a vanity project, laced with bad one liners where the B listers try to recall who Shore was, after his `death', then rail against him when exposed. You know you're film is in trouble when a supposedly funny scripted line by Chris Rock, `No Pauly. [blank] you. Stay dead,' turns out to be the most genuine reaction to this film. My only consolation is that the DVD was cheap and this review will hopefully deter any other potential viewers from lining Shore's pockets. You have to take small victories wherever you can get them, sometimes. September 15, 2008

The worst movie I have ever seen.

I usually shy away from discouraging others from watching a movie, because who knows what their taste is, right? But this was the biggest waste of my time I have ever experienced. It was so bad in every way, and not in a kitchy-b movie kind of way, just bad. They tried to make it looked home filmed, which just came off as cheap and bad. They had the same few actors commenting repeatedly, which was bad. Pauly's performance was so whiny and annoying that by the end of the movie I WANTED him to be dead. I would rather sit at the dentist's office getting my teeth drilled out with no painkillers than ever watch this movie again. July 20, 2007

Please read this Pauly Shore

You might want to reconsider titles like this when you ever get the chance to do another film. In this case, it seems too much like prophecy. April 1, 2007

Not great

I honestly didn't see what was supposed to be funny or interesting about this movie. Don't be fooled by the big names attached to it, they are cameos only.
The only line I found really funny was a critic saying about Pauly Shore's TV show: "it sucks worse than gravity." I am not saying that this could be applied to this movie as well. Not quite. November 11, 2006
