Film Overview
"Walk of Fame" is a romantic comedy movie from 2017, directed by Jesse Thomas. The movie includes an ensemble cast consisting of Scott Eastwood, Malcolm McDowell, Chris Kattan, Jamie Kennedy, Cory Hardrict, and Jack Guzman. This funny revolves around aspirational law student Drew's detour into acting class and his encounter with the eccentric and world-weary citizens of Hollywood.

Plot Summary
Drew (Scott Eastwood) is an ambitious law student and part-time telemarketer who takes an acting class on the side for simple credits. By a twist of fate, he stumbles upon the elite Hollywood Acting Studio run by Oliver Fabian (Malcolm McDowell). Oliver, a washed-up actor who runs out sync with the contemporary world, takes Drew under his wing.

Regardless of the shockingly poor quality of teaching, Drew decides to stick with the class after fulfilling Nikki (Laura Ashley Samuels), a hopeful starlet and appealing schoolmate. However, he rapidly falls under the routine insanity of the Hollywood acting world and finds himself tangled in a series of misadventures along with his schoolmates, that include a brash street busker (Jamie Kennedy), a helpless romantic (Chris Kattan), and a wannabe rap artist (Cory Hardrict).

Character Development
The film looks into the growing movie of each character. Drew, initially naïve and driven to end up being an attorney, soon abandons his ambitions for the unpredictability of the acting world, mainly out of his love for Nikki. On the other hand, Nikki wants to make it big, and her determination drives her to put up with the turmoil that covers the Hollywood Acting Studio.

On The Other Hand, Oliver Fabian welcomes his function as a washed-out star, administering ridiculous guidance and participating in antics that further the comical nature of the film. His character is an amusing reflection of the hazards of popularity and the sometimes-exaggerated world of Hollywood.

Humour and Romance
"Walk of Fame" mixes funny and romance quite effectively. There are lots of funny moments originated from the oddball character choices and their clashing personalities. The budding relationship in between Drew and Nikki adds the romantic twist to the storyline balanced with their dream-capturing battles, which provides audiences a psychological connection.

Conclusion

Ultimately, he should decide whether to go back to his laid-back life or continue pursuing his unanticipated dream of ending up being a star. The film concludes on a comical note, as audiences get a glance of each character's effort to endure the ruthless yet interesting world of Hollywood.

"Walk of Fame" is a light-hearted exploration of Hollywood's eccentricity and aspiration, framed through the lens of a budding romance and a group of confident yet misfit acting students. While it does not delve into the dark side of fame, it uses an entertaining ride and a caring, if ironic take at those who dare to dream amidst the glamour and appeal of the acting world.
