Reviews for Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star
Has nothing of value to offer other than a dizzying number of cameos by former child stars, each of whom is only momentarily amusing as a voyeuristic opportunity to compare the grown-up on screen to the kid ever emblazoned upon our mind's eye.

Dickie Roberts is a lot funnier than it has any right to be... considering it’s a David Spade comedy and counts Adam Sandler among its executive producers.
