Superstar isn't a terrible movie
It's not a completely atrocious movie
Despite that apparent lack of subwoofer usage, the soundtrack still seems pretty good.
Lorne Michaels seems to be the easy target, and he's probably the best one.

Initially hilarious, Superstar is no Wayne's World as the characters and storyline struggle to maintain their now feature length status.
It's an unashamed celebration of all things daggy, punctuated by some sublime scenes of inspired comedy (check the breakout dance scene in the school caf to C&C Music Factory).

As "SNL" and "Superstar" producer Lorne Michaels certainly knows, and certainly doesn't care, making a feature-length film out of the kind of TV sketch that overstays its welcome at five minutes requires a lot of filler.
Directed by former Kid in the Hall Bruce McCulloch, "Superstar" has a few funny moments--the offhanded comments of Mary Katherine's crush, high school hero Sky Corrigan ("SNL's" Will Ferrell), are often hilarious, though largely inaudible.

| Oct 08, 1999San Francisco Chronicle
As part of "Superstar's" silly riffing on kids'-eye-view of Catholicism, Ferrell also plays Mary Katherine's personal Jesus, who visits her in her bedroom, and Mark McKinney plays neurotic Father Ritley.
Superstar," an odd, hysterically pointed movie chapter in the "Saturday Night Live" heroine's screwball life, offers Mary Katherine Gallagher as that lunatic manifestation of teenage lust and better role model for girls than certain multiplatinum pop stars.

By the time "Superstar" had reached its abrupt climax at the talent contest, I had become disappointed because I knew the film would soon be over, and what had come before was marginally adequate at best.
There was a lot of hope on my part that "Superstar," the character's debut feature film adaptation, would be a successful and bright comedy, one with a lot of heart and a lot of laughs, and with the always-entertaining Shannon on-board, I doubted it could fail.
