It was okay, but nowhere near as good as A Mighty Wind or Best in Show. Definitely my least favorite Christopher Guest movie.

Description: Hollywood send-up. No-name actors are making a low-budget period drama called "Home for Purim," when an anonymous post on the Internet suggests that one performance is Oscar-worthy. Then, two more cast members get Oscar-related press: buzz in "Variety" and appearances on TV prompt the studio executives to insist on changes in the script in anticipation of a blockbuster.

Rating: 6.8/10 Why Did I Watch It? I recently found out that Ricky Gervais did this movie in lieu of the third Mission: Impossible, and I was curious to check it out - especially since it's a star-studded Christopher Guest mockumentary."

"One of Christopher Guest's weaker films but it is still filled with clever moments and a nice smack to the face of award-chasers and film industry. It's easy to do, but doesn't get done enough."
