Also, we didn't think Year One was funny either even though it has a lot of the Arrested Development actors and a lot of the Jedd Apatow actors in it too.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023476941009535112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144458625742451371.post-44001528591561761762010-04-17T14:07:16.368-04:002010-04-17T14:07:16.368-04:00Rachel - Nooooooo!

(I'm running after you trying to stop you from renting this)<br /><br />I don't think this is comparable to Best in Show (or any Guest mocku) at all, mostly because this idiotic project couldn't decide if it was a real doc or a fake doc. It starts off acting as though it's entirely a real one, and save for the non-doc styles thrown in - including the diorama, Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144458625742451371.post-59570245929516267322010-04-10T12:07:27.207-04:002010-04-10T12:07:27.207-04:00I feel like the film got so caught up in being ori...I feel like the film got so caught up in being original that it forgot to stop being predictable. You just knew exactly what would happen all time. It was charming and sweet at a few points, but I don't ever remember laughing.<br /><br />(And I think Guest movies like <i>Best in Show</i> are best appreciated after a little bit of time to digest.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144458625742451371.post-16712918104243671562010-04-09T14:05:14.121-04:002010-04-09T14:05:14.121-04:00David, I was reading your review just before I wro...David, I was reading your review just before I wrote mine, and I didn't disagree with almost anything in your review, just that I didn't find it as funny.

The interviews with various real people about what love is was very interesting to me.<br /><br />The Yi/Cera relationship thing is the clear fiction part of the movie, but I enjoyed it despite not caring much for Cera.<br /><br />Humor is a very subjective experience. I found the movie funny, but I can understand how some people wouldn't.David Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197460162322912519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144458625742451371.post-22964835044609183082010-04-08T23:50:22.950-04:002010-04-08T23:50:22.950-04:00@Tom- it was a reference to the banana stand but t...@Tom- it was a reference to the banana stand but thanks.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679283194534387443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144458625742451371.post-41410757677108439132010-04-08T23:19:08.227-04:002010-04-08T23:19:08.227-04:00ha ha.

It's sometimes like the Daily Show humor when they just let people talk and people say stupid things.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679283194534387443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144458625742451371.post-77861446737621066522010-04-08T19:42:33.232-04:002010-04-08T19:42:33.232-04:00Oh man, now I'm torn!

But that last sentence made me question possibly seeing it b/c I love Best in Show and all those other Christopher Guest mockumentaries.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386248680892197260noreply@blogger.com
