MCT:June 12, 2008Overall, it was a bit of a let down. However, there were some really great moments and I thoroughly enjoyed Ricky Gervais.

MCT:May 31, 2008I LOVE these mockumentary movies. Chris Guest does an excellent job! See A Mighty Wind, Spinal Tap, and Best in Show

MCT:May 30, 2008It has a lot of B and TV actors. I think it's intended audience was those in the entertainment industry. As a common ordinary viewer, I thought it was boring and dragged. I didn't find myself caring about any of the characters.

Not packed with jokes like "Waiting for Guffman", "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind". They abandoned the documentary style for a character-driven narrative. It jumped through the conception, production, release and award-nomination stages of the film-within-film "Home for Purim", and followed several cast and crew through the project. But it fizzled flat without much hilarity. I would say they missed the mark of genius the previous Christopher Guest films had. I chuckled a bit at the "Hollywood Now" segments and how some of the characters dealt with their failure. My second viewing was more enjoyable than my initial, and saw new things to laugh at, like Catherine O'Hara's gleeful interviews, obviously influenced by a facelift, a new outfit, and some powerful prescriptions. I laughed at the plotline and terrible overacting of the Purim movie, and was amused how it was re-branded for a wider audience. I'll chuckle at anything cheap made up to be a work of art. It felt very much like an episode of SCTV.

This is an okay movie. It seems a bit short though. Cast are brilliant, with big and good names EVERYWHERE.
