Pretty funny mockumentary with a solid cast and characters. I never laughed out loud but I don't think I'm supposed to. Feels like Parks and Recreation. Will rewatch to catch all the missed quirks. Fav scene: Libby's audition

Not bad, but Guest's whole "hahahhaa camp lispy like he's gay! LOL" character really brought it down. Also I saw it less than a week ago and remember almost nothing about it.

There's a warm, folksy tone present throughout the film, but it suffers from too much focus resting on Guest's protagonist, who's not much more than a one-note homosexual stereotype. Too little screen time is afforded to the endearing but underdeveloped townsfolk, none of whom are substantially idiosyncratic for this kind of comedy to really lift off. As a result, this mockumentary struggles to generate many laughs.
