David Spade plays a former child star who has faded from public view and tries to make a come-back in “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star.” Director Sam Weisman (“George of the Jungle” 1997), producer Adam Sandler, and screenwriters Fred Wolf and David Spade created a comedy with laughs that are something a like 98 minute “Saturday Night Live” skit.
Co-stars include Mary McCormack, Scott Terra, Jenna Boyd, Jon Lovitz, Alyssa Milano, Craig Bierko, Doris Roberts, Edie McClurg, Rachel Dratch, Ian Gomez, Sasha Mitchell, and Rob Reiner. Numerous celebrities appear as themselves in cameos: Tom Arnold, Dick Van Patten, Florence Henderson, Marian Ross, David Soul, Brendan Fraser, Emmanuel Lewis, Barry Williams, Danny Bonaduce, Corey Feldman, Leif Garrett, Maureen McCormick, Todd Bridges, Gary Coleman, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Tony Dow, Jeff Conaway, Erin Moran, Jay North, Paul Peterson, Butch Patrick, Adam Rich, Rodney Alan Rippy, Willie Ames, and Charlene Tilton, Lucy Ewing of “Dallas” fame.
The watchable and mildly entertaining “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star” was a modest hit at the box office for Happy Madison Productions and Paramount Pictures.
