As mockumentaries go, Pauly Shore Is Dead is possibly the most entertaining one I've seen in a long time. Most of us who were in touch in the 90's will remember the guy for his brief lay over in posthumous popularity (or for most, better known as fifteen minutes of fame, which for the weasel, seemed to last a hell of a lot longer). In a nutshell, he fakes his own death to revitalize interest in, well, himself and his all but dead in water career. The story is comically sound and gives you accurate insight into the lowest levels of Hollywood and all who dwell in it. We experience, through his eyes, the fickle beast that makes up your street cred, tinsel town style.
Sam Kinison plays Pauly's guardian angel of sorts and during a stint in prison as a result of his fraudulent demise, he shares a cell with Todd Bridges and befriends a host of other famous neredowells. Making genius appearances in the film (amongst many) are Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Vince Vaughn, Fred Durst and the ever entertaining Bill Maher. Way to go, Buuuudddddyyyyyyy!
