A lot of users haven given this movie a very poor rating, which I think is completely unfair. Credit is not given to the actors for their performances, which are quite outstanding. I am a big Reno 911 fan, and this movie has a very Reno 911 feel to it, which is why I think I am more receptive to the type of humor presented in this movie. There are also very touching moments and when the person who won won, I did tear up. I just suggest to watch with an open mind.

4/10 - disappointing mockumentary that wasted its stars' (two of my faves: Melissa and Niecy) potential

Found it funny at first, but by the time Melissa M. came on board and basically ad-libbed her stuff, it had gotten old and no longer funny. Definitely would have been better under the guidance of Christopher Guest. Ended up not finishing it, as I was watching it with commercials, and it just wasn't worth sitting through commercials for.

...you will thoroughly enjoy this film. Reminiscent of Christopher Guest films (Best in Show, Spinal Tap, etc.), this movie was a pleasant surprise. Had never heard of it until it showed up as a "viewers also watched" list and I was instantly reminded of one of my all-time favorite comedies, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Hilarious performances, great story and some truly awful looking food (somebody had to make all of those weird dishes in the opening sequence).

It is just a silly relaxing movie to pass time with I think it got released after Melissa McCarthy got famous...she is just a guest star and shouldn't be the main star on the poster
