I'm confused

I agree with you. It's one thing to dupe someone for a show for a few hours or a couple of days, assuming the person can go home at the end of the day. It's completely another story to falsely sequester someone and not let that person go home. It just doesn't make sense. Perhaps the person was in on it after all.

Edited to say: In thinking about it, it is possible that once the individual finds out that they're going to be on a show, their vanity takes over and they're not angry about having been held, not allowed to go home. You never know about people.

The judge will normally ask jurors if they can be sequestered. The paparazzi's potential harassment of the jurors for a James Marsden scoop became the excuse for it.

Marsden is an actor. This is obviously all scripted.

The show is about the real guy's reaction toward all the wackiness going on around him. It's a reality show. I've watched a few with a similar theme in which one person is basically being pranked by actors. These actors were excellent.

Marsden is playing a caricature of an entitled actor. Famous people are called for jury duty, too.

This is such a weird thing to argue about. You're acting like there's some strict definition for a mockumentary and there can't be a twist on it. It's a fictional show presented as a documentary. Hmmm if only we had a word to describe that. Oh, a mockumentary. There's someone in it that doesn't know he's not in a real documentary? Okay then it's like a reality/prank show within a mockumentary. There now it's cleared up.

You also say the fact that Mardsen is playing himself is irrelevant, but you were the one that brought up that him being in it would give it away.

This was a great mockumentary. Can't believe he took the blame for Marsden's turd! lol

We need a season 2!

So yours stinks too, got it
