Jessica Simpson’s acting career is going a lot better than I thought. She was actually in a foreign film recently. Not too shabby, right? Not only that, but the film opened at the top of the box office. But by “foreign film” I mean her film is being shown in foreign countries. That counts, right? I’m sure that’s still the section where you’ll find Simpson’s infamous “Major Movie Star” at Blockbuster in a few weeks.

What ever happened to Jessica Simpson’s comedy, “Major Movie Star”?

The “Private Benjamin” – like film has never opened here in the United States. But on October 9th, “Major Movie Star” debuted to top box office in… Russia.

Next up for a movie described by one of its participants as “maybe one of the worsr films ever made”: a November premiere in Bulgaria.

So far there’s no U.S. release date set. Nor is there one for any other country in which English is the primary language.

No fewer than 15 producers are listed on the credits of “Major Movie Star” including Jessica’s enterprising dad, Joe. The director was Steve Miner, whose credits are mostly from television.

While Jessica’s singing career transition into country star has gone pretty well so far, her movie credits seem to be getting worse rather than better. She’d be substantially better off, frankly, having a sitcom in which she can play herself.

I think the only thing more offensive than going straight to DVD is having your film shown in a few random countries, but very specifically none that speak English. I have a feeling that instead of carding you outside of the theater, they ask if you speak English, and if the answer is yes they kick you out and light your ticket stub on fire. Okay I realize “Major Movie Star” probably isn’t R rated and wouldn’t require carding, but go with it.

It seems like Jessica has moved onto new laughably unsuccessful endeavors, a.k.a. her country music career. Hopefully they’ll be exporting that to Bulgaria
