Probably Guest's worst movie. A format that is starting to look pretty tired and needs a shake up. Shame.

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.

Honestly, this isn't the best Christopher Guest film but it does have a lot of heart, humour and is original in its own way. Some of the characters are indeed under-developed and perhaps it could have fared better as a TV show but I still did enjoy watching.

What: The triumphant return of Corky St. Clair Who: Fred Willard, Constance Carmell, and Lex Luthor's wife in that God-awful Superman Returns movie Where: That amazing mockumentary universe with dog shows, community theater troops, and now, Mascots. When (will you be addicted to this movie): 10 minutes in Why: If you are a fan of ​Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, or Best in Show, get ready to add a new classic to your shelf

Most of the dialogue and overall writing in Mascots feel forced and artificial, as opposed to other Chris Guest films like Waiting For Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, where those important parts of the film come off much more natural and genuine. There are some funny moments scattered throughout Mascots, and some of the performances are pulled off nicely (Parker Posey), but overall this formulaic Chirs Guest mocumentary is mediocre at best.
