This is the latest Christopher Guest & Company mockumentary. I'm planning on seeing it tonight, so I'll post my review later.

Not a mockumentary actually, but still largely improvised. I like movies where Eugene Levy gets to be funny instead of stupid.

I was disappointed by this. It had its moments, but they were few and far between. It felt like it could have been funnier and it should have been funnier, but it just didn't tap into the humor of the situation as much as it could have. In the past this group has been more successful in doing that, but they fell short this time. And the normally excellent cast seemed to be a little flat this time around.

It's watchable, but you can easily wait for DVD or cable for this one.

The weakest of the Christopher Guest movies. I hated it til about halfway through and then warmed up to it. Stick to the mockumentary stuff and stay away from Hollywood.

OK, but a step down from the other Guest films.

i couldn't make myself sit through the entire thing. I tried twice.
It was just too awful.

I find it better on repeat viewing. But it's not out-and-out funny the way Guest's troupe's previous films are.
