Popular actress Megan Valentine (Jessica Simpson) is down on her luck: Her scheming accountant made off with her fortune, and her latest film flopped. She hopes to sign onto a major military-theme production but, first, must change her ditzy image to impress the studio making the movie. In order to prove herself, Megan enters the Marines and is sent to boot camp, where she butts heads with gruff Sgt. Louisa Morley (Vivica A. Fox) and struggles to adapt to life without luxury.

As eye-rollingly silly and predictable as one might've anticipated... Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com 02/04/2009
D-
Valentine (aka Major Movie Star) is a graceless, flavorless farce built around the idea that Simpson's dimwit routine still holds appeal and the hope that the target demo has never heard of Goldie Hawn. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/13/2016 This movie was too ambitious. It should have been a TV movie to begin with. This is as bad as they say but better than some Lifetime/Hallmark movies I have watched on a rainy Saturday afternoon. See more 06/22/2015 Very predictable and brainless... but Simpson wasn't half bad this time around. Pretty sure that this was the peak of her acting ability... and I've seen much worse. See more 10/12/2014 Easy to watch. More for girls. See more 02/18/2014 This one is also known as "Major Movie Star" When fluffy, bubble gum movie star Megan Valentine (Jessica Simpson) suddenly finds herself broke and humiliated in the public eye, she wanders from the wreckage of a car accident and witlessly enlists in the U.S. Army hoping in vain that it will change her life. also stars Jill Made Jones, Steve Guttenberg, Vivica A. Fox, Cheri Oteri, Travis Schuldt, and Olesya Rulin. directed by Steve Miner. See more 04/03/2013 Barbie in the army . Enough said here .... Just for laughs See more 02/26/2013 Why would I even watch this? Just look at the cover and you'll find an answer. Yes I think Jessica Simpson is hot but this movie wasn't. Hey Jessica, you know your movie is going straight to video when you have Steve Guttenburg in it. This sucks and pretty much ruined Simpson's acting career. About the coolest and best part is when they were eating the candy bars. I almost made it all the way through too. See more Read all reviews
