Kane & Abel's second album, their first since going AWOL from Master P's No Limit boot camp, nearly bored me to fratricide. Sad too, because the duo would seem to have everything necessary to create a listenable album: a hook (they're identical twins with biblical names--their real names are David and Daniel), legitimacy (born in the Bronx and bred in New Orleans, one of the flashpoints of southern rap) and a cause (their parents were declared unfit when they were a few weeks old).

...irresistible appeal, however, stems from actors Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell. In Superstar, Molly Shannon presents a tamer, less intense Mary Katherine Gallagher than her counterpart on SNL. This lack of stamina is undoubtedly due to the longer length of the film. Will Ferrell as Sky is the quintessential master of morons. But overall, both actors' talents are underused in a film that fails to showcase their comedic brilliance...
