It seems that there is a trend in modern filmmaking to tame down movies and make them less controversial and blander. That is not the case with the bold new indie comedy Walk of Fame which dives head first into a raunchy and satirical point of view that makes it stand out from the crowd. The film revolves around a lawyer (Scott Eastwood) who after failing the Bar Exam twice decides to become an actor. He then begins taking classes at the so-called Star Maker Academy, under the tutelage of a far more than eccentric instructor played by Malcolm McDowell, who delivers a homerun of a performance. Throughout the course of the film, Scott Eastwood's character, Drew, must learn to cope with his classmates who aspire to a goal that they clearly will never achieve. This ensemble is where the film truly shines despite the incredible performances by the leading heavyweights. This is because of the multiple complex relationships between the characters lead to an unforeseeable and hilarious climax that will leave you very satisfied. Consequently, I will not give away what happens in the end but I will highly recommend seeing it for yourself.
score 8/10
