1/4
"Hollywood Boulevard" is such a hopelessly idiotic piece of trash someone should have taken the entire can of film and buried it under a ton of cement. Go to Full Review
Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 3d
An outrageous, often hilarious spoof of the zany world of low-budget exploitation film-making. Go to Full Review
Keith Nurse Daily Telegraph (UK) 3d
An often hilarious film, one which brims over with black humour. Go to Full Review
Bill Cosford Miami Herald 2d
This script wears thin. Whatever irony might once have invested the film-within-a-film situation has long been snuffed out by heavy-handed gags and deliberately stereotyped characters. Go to Full Review
Russell Davies Observer (UK) 2d
Even a mock-terrible picture needs careful writing. Go to Full Review
Allen Oren Charlotte Observer 2d
It's an atrocious film about making atrocious films. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 28 Filme mais ou menos para bacaninha, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos para bacaninha, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e as cenas de ação com algumas cenas sexuais salvaram o filme. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 4 Funny in 1 hour and 23 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 02/06/2022 I feel guilty writing this sentence but here goes: This movie actually made me laugh out loud during what were basically two RAPE scenes. I've seen many comedies make murder funny ("Heathers," to name just one) but I have never seen a comedy make rape funny. Is that reason enough to recommend this movie? No. But I thought I'd mention it. I WILL, however, recommend this movie because its a no-hold-barred, nothing off limits comedy about exploitation films; complete with a segment parodying the often dangerous conditions such movies were made under in the Philippines. If you like old exploitation movies or at least appreciate them or (at the VERY least) know something about them, then you'll find HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD to be fun and full of laughs. If not, you won't. See more 07/25/2014 Hollywood Boulevard is a surprisingly enjoyable piece of trash from Roger Corman and company. Directed by Allan Arkush and Joe Dante (his first directing gig), it tells the story of a young starlet who gets into the business and is privy to the slimy underbelly of Hollywood. It doesn't help that someone is bumping off her fellow cast and crew members one by one either. The movie reuses footage from previous Roger Corman productions, including The Terror and Death Race 2000, to complete scenes. The movie is one of the first, that I know of anyway, to lampoon or spoof its fellow movies. It takes elements from behind the scenes of all of Roger Corman's movies and makes a fun movie out of it all. There isn't much in the way of character development and it doesn't have a concrete plot, but it doesn't really matter. It's a fun adventure that's sleazy and hilarious. See more 03/11/2013 hmmm i guess not so much See more 12/16/2012 Its defo interesting and not one second was I bored,so I give it props for that. See more Read all reviews
