3/10: A perfect example of a tired and failed rehash.


3/10

In short: To those who liked Best In show (2000), this is an unfunny rehash of the concept set in another environment. It's filled with dry humor that misses or is simply too blunt to be funny. The little slapstick doesn't hit either.

In longer: This really is a perfect example of a failed rehash of a formerly winning concept that ends up bad.

Pro's
• Cast
• Setting

Con's
• Script
• A comedy without humor
• Obvious rehash (which doesn't automatically make it bad, reusing all elements without the comedy, in a comedy, made it bad).
• Unoriginal concept


End note:
If this was in fact an inside joke on directors and a satire in itself there could have been some irony to be had. But it is not, it's simply a row of missed opportunities.

Ignorance is only a bliss if you haven't reached awareness.

Good summary of a terribly disappointing movie.
