Nick Swardson has long played supporting characters in Adam Sandler-produced movies, but in 2011's "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star," he finally got his shot a leading role. The comedy, which features all the actors viewers know from previous Sandler films, comes to DVD January 17. Bucky Larson (Swardson) is an awkward, child-like man who gets the surprise of his life when he discovers that his parents used to be stars in the adult film industry. Wanting to preserve the legacy that his parents have left him, Bucky moves to Hollywood to follow in their footsteps. Soon upon arrival it becomes apparent that he is not cut out of the same cloth as his parents. But, his considerable ineptitude makes him a star anyway because it makes viewers feel better about their own skills. Despite his naivety, Bucky befriends Kathy (Christina Ricci), a good-hearted waitress who helps him navigate his new life. The comedy is one of Happy Madison's latest productions and fans of the studio should check out other similar films including "Just Go With It" and "Grown Ups."
