Hilarious Mockumentary. The bits with Lance Armstrong were so amusing.

"One of the most cynical films ever made, a French mockumentary about a serial killer with the complicity of a camera crew—hilarious, the darkest of humor.."

Some casting choices
When it was released that there would be a Beverly Hills 90210 reboot, most fans thought it would be a sort of continuation of the old show. Instead, it is a mockumentary of a reboot. While it is a bit odd, I don't totally hate it. I am however not thrilled with some of the casting of the fake family. It would have been more believable, or at least less distracting, if the spouses were unknown actors. It would feel a bit less cheesy in my opinion.

"This is my most wanted Criterion Blu-ray upgrade (pretty please!!!). A gruesome yet hilarious mockumentary about a serial killer and the film crew that slowly crosses the line from reel to real with him. Picture David Brent from The Office starring in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer."

Best in Show (2000)
Best in Show (2000)
2000 | Comedy

"It comes down to my specific brand of comedy – I really enjoy comedy that takes things to different places. Best in Show had already been out when I saw it, and it was the first improv sketch film I saw – it was my first mockumentary. And I noticed that the way that they do it is just so amazing. I was in love with Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, who are amazing in A Mighty Wind as well. But Best in Show is so good because it was so evocative of a time and a place, this dog show that goes on, and I’d never seen, like I said, a mockumentary, I’d never seen improv."

This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

"If you haven’t seen Spinal Tap, it’s your loss. The best mockumentary ever, with lines that made me fall out of my seat the first time I watched it, laughing so hard I couldn’t catch my breath. I’ve watched it countless times since and still crack up. Christopher Guest as Nigel is too good for words."

Somehow I'd never heard of this movie until recently so I thought that I would check it out. Cook Off is essentially a cooking show version of the movie Best in Show. Filmed in the guise of a mockumentary of the cook off drama that likely unfolds during real life events, obviously dramatized for entertainment purposes.

2009 | Comedy
This is a decent but short (6 episodes) first series of what is a highly acclaimed sit-com. I like the style (mockumentary) and the small cast of characters. The best moments are when the cast just go on a random rant/list weird things, which feels ad-libbed and hilarious. With the characters introduced I hope the comedy ramps up from here.
