Mascots (2015)


Christopher Guest does seem to make the same movie over and over again, with the same actors, but they are always funny to he can be forgiven. This is not his strongest by far but it is light and amusing and smarter than a lot of American comedies. Looking at the world of competitive mascots ( i have no idea if this is a real thing) and people taking themselves and their work far too seriously. Some additional actors, and English ones this time round along with standards, Parker Posey is a highlight as you would expect. These films often get better the more you re-watch as there is so much squeezed in to it you find little treasures you missed before.


Like This Watch These: Best In Show (2000) An American Crufts, hilarious, Waiting For Guffman (1996) An amateur dramatics society get over excited when they hear a Broadway veteran will be attending, This Is Spinal Tap (1984) Hilarious music mockumentary, Mr. Guest stars.
