Welcome back, Christopher Guest
Not the greatest film, but has plenty of laughs and guffaws. Seeing this cast is like seeing old friends. There’s hilarity, stupidity, and complete schizoid moments that make absolutely no sense at all. But hey, remember that this is a C. Guest film. What more were you expecting? At a budget of the listed $20,000,000, you can be sure a LOT of that went into the elaborate costumes and pro for the mascots.That is, unless they raided a lot of high school and community college storage bins. Like other mockumentary films by Mr. Guest, get past the character set-ups and the pay-off is in the competition. It does not disappoint!I will recommend this ONLY to friends who also enjoy the antics of Christopher Guest.

Eh, it’s All Right
Mascots is a mockumentary in the vein of This is Spinal Tap, but this time it’s sporting mascots; those who dress up in costumes to keep the crowd entertained in lulls on the field, be it football, hockey, cricket, whatever. The film follows a number of different mascot acts, from a husband and wife double act having marriage troubles to a feminist dancer who takes it a little too seriously, to a third generation British mascot to a vulgar “bad boy” mascot for Canadian hockey, and a number of others. We follow them as they all come together for a Mascotting competition, where they show off their acts and compete for the Gold Fluffy.

Mascots is a little light on laughs, even though it does try it’s best to be a laugh-a- minute kind of comedy. Empirically I don’t think I really laughed out loud at all, maybe once. Usually it was just a little chuckle. So on a ROFL to Heh rating, it’s definitely on the lower end. Most of its humour is more satirical in nature, poking fun at the event and those who take part, but honestly it’s most enjoyable moments are when it ditches the satire and embraces full entertainment. By the third act I didn’t care about the characters underneath the costumes and just wanted more of the performances themselves. The combination of dance and slapstick fused together to create the film’s most interesting moments, like the British guy’s hedgehog trying to set up a cup of tea and getting distracted by footballs, or a plumber having a dance-off with a s**t that bursts out of a toilet. Even the super- serious art/dance performance of the feminist armadillo was far more entertaining than much of the movie, despite it depicting the audience as thoroughly bored.

I definitely found a nationalistic divide in the characters too. The British guy with his wife and father were probably my favourite characters, garnering the biggest laughs. Likewise the Canadian hockey mascot was also hugely entertaining. Maybe I found them more entertaining because I’m British, or maybe it’s because Christopher Guest has a better grasp on British humour than American, or maybe it’s because the American actors and actresses couldn’t quite hit the same satirical notes that the British and Irish actors could? I honestly don’t know, but the divide in quality was certainly noticeable. Other highlights include the conversation between an old-timer and a dwarf, and a conversation about Furries.

There are worse ways to while away the time than by watching Mascots. Even though this is the longest I’ve gone between watching and reviewing, Mascots was easily forgettable after a couple of hours, but I can’t really say it was bad. If you want a laugh-out-loud comedy, look somewhere else, if you want a mockumentary Mascots hits the spot as well as any other, but won’t be remembered or marked as one of the greats. At best I find myself completely apathetic to it. I give it an okay 5/10.
