A likable satire on celebrity, Flemish-style, it is no less pointed than its American counterparts, just a lot less pompous.

Jean is an ordinary family man and factory worker who is confident that his only child, Marva, will become a famous singer if only she could be discovered. When he has a chance encounter with a famous pop star, Jean takes unexpectedly outrageous steps to make their dream a reality.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
New Times (L.A.) by Bill Gallo
If there's any justice in moviedom, this summer's feel-good hit will be an unassuming Dutch comedy called Everybody's Famous!
Philadelphia Inquirer by Carrie Rickey
A good-natured comedy of errors from Belgium, should elicit smiles, if not belly laughs.
The New York Times by Dana Stevens
With its likable blue-collar characters and its unpretentious exuberance, Everybody's Famous is reminiscent of recent British comedies like "Brassed Off" and "The Full Monty."
Washington Post by Desson Thomson
The more you lower your expectations, the more you'll learn to laugh.
San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann
The result is a sprightly, entertaining film, but one in which the satire is neutralized for laughs.
TV Guide Magazine by Frank Lovece
Sometimes seems as noisy and unrefined as Jean himself. But it has just as much heart, and builds up to rousingly "Rocky"-like climax.
Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
The intentional and unintentional absurdities of the plot do pay off, with a happy ending that's outlandish enough to be entertaining.
Too brisk and plucky to dislike.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
It's nice, but it's not much of a comedy.
