Features: DVD
George (Jamie Kennedy) is a wannabe screenwriter who befriends actor Kyle Carey (Loren Dean) hoping it will help his own Hollywood stardom. Together, along with Kyle's girlfriend Iona, (Carmen Electra) the three set out to enjoy the chic Tinseltown lifestyle until Kyle has a brush with the law. Desperate for money, the two friends plan a ridiculous scheme to kidnap and hold ransom Faye Dunaway's pet dog. Could this story be the big movie deal George was looking for?
Editor's Note
A darkly comic parody of Tinseltown, STARSTRUCK stars Jamie Kennedy (3 KINGS, SCREAM) as George, a recent L.A. transplant who is trying to find a buyer for his screenplay, OOPS! I LOVE YOU. His two friends (Bridgette Wilson and Bruce Ramsey) both land roles soon after arriving, while George is forced to take a temp job. But George regains hope when he meets Kyle Carey (a pitch-perfect Loren Dean, SPACE COWBOYS), a former sitcom star with a hot girlfriend (Carmen Electra, DIRTY LOVE). George thinks Kyle can help him hit the big time, but he's so enamored of Kyle's stardom that he doesn't notice he's really a washed-up drug addict, even when the flat-broke star takes up residence on his couch and starts running up his phone bill. Amidst Kyle's claims that Faye Dunaway owes him big, George starts to wonder if he might just have the perfect story on his hands.

Every year, thousands travel to Hollywood with dreams of making it in the movies, ignoring the painful reality that most will fail miserably. Similarly, every year, hundreds of malcontents write "insider" Hollywood satires, despite the fact that most, if made, will suck to high heaven and reveal far more about the filmmakers' smug incompetence than the movie industry. Starstruck...serves as a sadly typical example of the genre, taking on such familiar targets as greedy agents, starlet bimbos, and drug-addled actors with all the freshness of an episode of Three's Company. - Nathan Rabin
