Ever since Reiner and co. made the timeless classic This is Spinal Tap there have been the obligatory clones that don't really steal the idea but rather go the "in the vein of" route. Spinal Tap was a brand new type of movie, the 'Mockumentary" and god bless those who have tried and succeeded, ie, Fear of a Black Hat. And god help those (pun intended) that didn't ie, this complete waste of time.
It's clear that the dialogue was not improvised the way a good mockumentary progresses, the words and situations were obviously planned and not really all that thought out. I saw every joke coming and was not charmed or surprised with any of it.
There are a few gems in the casting with pre fame appearances from Andy Dick and Chris kattan but other than that you can't rely on this film to entertain.
There is one piece of irony here, ...And God Spoke (the movie about which this mockumentary is made) looks like a far funnier film to watch. There should have been much more of that in it.
No Stars
