Films like Walk of Fame continue a welcomed tradition of simple films telling simple stories, albeit with a big punch of humor that levels the story, elevating this film to beyond enjoyable entertainment. The film stars Scott Eastwood an aspiring lawyer, Drew, who failed the bar exam twice. Idling at dead end jobs to pass the time, his big inspiration comes in the form of Nikki, a wannabe actress who attends an intense drama class led by the incomparable Malcolm McDowell. Drew follows his animal instincts and joins the class to get close to Nikki, but along the way challenges in the form of committed, idealistic classmates and McDowell's teaching style change his perception of showbiz. This film's humor is raging and when it delivers it does it was posh and shameless delight, which come as a big payoff with its storytelling. Walk of Fame is a film made by dreamers for dreamers looking for great laughs. This is entertainment at a basic, enjoyable level that will invite its viewer to sit down, relax and enjoy the ride.
