mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Dec 9 It's not Best in Show or Guffman, so don't hold it up to those standards. Could it be viewed as a sparse parody of those two films, yeah I suppose. However, there are plenty of laughs here. Most of the regulars are here and a few new faces. Maybe a little more slapstick and shallow than Guest's bangers, but just kickback and enjoy. See more Julian S @akajulianscott Mar 23 MASCOTS is a missed opportunity. The absence of Eugene Levy, Guest’s longtime writing partner, is noticeable. Even Guest, briefly reprising Corky St. Clair, seems completely uninterested. See more J M 02/11/2024 Without question the weakest of the Christopher Guest "mockumentaries", I nevertheless caught myself laughing out loud enough to give this a lukewarm recommendation. That being said, there's not a single character in this movie that is even remotely close to matching the greats of Guest's earlier projects. And the return of a character from one of his prior films only makes that realization all the more obvious. In theory, I think the idea of poking fun at sports mascots has potential. The trouble here is that none of them are particularly amusing, and unfortunately a good chunk of the movie is devoted to the performances of the mascots. The biggest laughs for me came from the tried-and-true Guest veterans like Parker Posey, Michael Hitchcock and particularly the late Fred Willard. Overall, I felt a tinge of sadness and nostalgia while watching this - it's like a championship baseball team reuniting after a couple decades to play one last game together. Everyone's a bit slower and a bit older and the game just isn't as exciting as it used to be. But at least they're still playing the game. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook) See more Gareth v 06/21/2023 Probably Guest's worst movie. A format that is starting to look pretty tired and needs a shake up. Shame. See more 07/30/2018 This was a lovely little movie, depicting the over-the-top indulgence of team mascots. It kind of reminded me of the move "Best In Show" about the fanatical lives of show-dog owners and their competitive streaks. This movie was funny and entertaining. Parker Posey was absolutely delightful especially in the scene where she almost got disqualified from the show through no fault of her own. See this one if you want a smile on your face all through the movie. See more 07/12/2018 Looking at the reviews i seem to have enjoyed this more than most but i thought it ws quite enjoyable. Some funny characters and even funnier Mascot dances made it enjoyable for me. The anatomically correct donkey costume was a standout moment for me! See more Read all reviews
