Date: 30 April 2002 Summary: A great little film that points out a quality in all of us
Some people might say this film's
improvisational nature is dull and
slow, it's the complete opposite. Just
imagine a movie completely improvised?
Not only does it take talent, it takes guts
and charisma to stay with something
so bold. While the ending was a little
abrupt, this film was still one to enjoy.
Christopher Guest seems to have
playing a homosexual down to a hilt.
If it wasn't for his role in Best in Show,
I thought he would forever be typecast
as an eccentric gay character. A fun film
to watch if you're into alternate types of comedy.
But this film also says a little something
about the human condition. We aren't all
people who wait for each other to speak
and are perfectly capable of leading a
group of people. This is Guest's gift: he
can accentuate the insecurities we have
within ourselves and portray it perfectly
on celluloid.
