Celebrity culture has taken the media world by storm, and thanks to the success of reality TV shows, anyone can now be a star. Based on the episodic TV serial first aired on BBC2 in the U.K., Stella Street offers the perfect satire for the early 21st century, with celebrities who have broken through that next dimension and come unceremoniously back to Earth. Dressed in thrift store parodies of their career peak wardrobes, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger run a corner shop; Jack Nicholson and Al Pacino rub shoulders in a leafy lane in suburbia; and David Bowie has his underwear starched and ironed by an uptight cockney charwoman named Mrs. Huggett. Stella Street is a needle in the celeb-culture balloon, and a welcome antidote to the cosmetic, prepackaged world of the modern icon.

One decent Michael Caine impersonation alone, it turns out, does not qualify you for a major motion picture.

What might have achieved a degree of cult status across the pond when it was aired in 10-minute installments, struggles to pass big-screen scrutiny in a feature-length treatment that hinges on the flimsiest of plot lines.

Two people walked out of the screening in the first half hour and the man sitting next to me slept through it. When it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

What's funny at five minutes can be tragedy at 90.
