Midgets Vs Mascots (2009)

I spotted this DVD while browsing the new releases at my local Block Buster chain. The thing that caught my eye was the name 'Jason Mewes' listed as one of the stars. I quickly grabbed it, and read the plot synopsis on the back. It sounded funny, and it had Jason Mewes. I'm a huge Smith fan, and anything with Mewes in it should be worth my time.So, I rented it. Eager to see Mewes in a different environment than a New Jersey suburb, I slid it into the DVD player, and sat down. The first thing that crossed me was the first trailer. A trailer for a soft-core porno. So, I started the movie. Ron Jeremy, one of the supposed 'stars' made a brief cameo in the clearly scripted prologue. Scottie Pippen's scene was also very short. One thing that this disgusting movie ingrained into my memory was Gary Coleman's penis. Thanks. I needed to see that. **Spoilers** The thing that really angered me about this abomination was Mewes. I was hoping to see Mewes as one of the mascots, and he apparently was one. The Sheriff, who doesn't speak or remove his head, was Mewes. In actuality, it was some other guy in the costume, and when everyone is arrested for beating up Scottie Pippen, he removes his head. It is Mewes, one of the 'stars' of this movie. He says at most 3 lines, and is never seen again. **No More Spoilers** This movie was one of the worst things I've ever laid eyes on. Do not watch it if you picked it up for Jason Mewes, Ron Jeremy or Scottie Pippen.

This is one of the WORST movies I have ever seen. All these glowing reviews are pure BS and posted by people connected to this God-awful movie. It's too bad there is no way to stop these fake reviews but ... there really isn't any way to control it. The movie is slow, boring and NOT FUNNY at all. Are the executive producers of these type of movies doing drugs? Are they really this far out of touch with reality that they don't know what a "good" movie consists of anymore? Is it that they are in that "inner circle" of Hollywood muckety-mucks so as to get the funding for these horrible movies? At least nine out of ten of the movies I watch are worthless. This one is pretty much at the bottom of the heap. Be prepared to fast forward, turn your DVD player/TV off or just plain walk away from this piece of junk.

I expected Jackass stuff only, but this was actually very funny, with a flimsy, yet nice story at the same time. Cool, gross, politically incorrect pranks and challenges and some good one-liners from everyone make this a fun ride. The acting, little tidbits, nudges to other cult icons and movies, are much better than you might think. Made on a smaller budget, it doesn't even matter.Above expectation, and a well deserved 7 for the rough, yet warm feeling throughout. And lots of people, little or large, falling and capering. Mascottes alone getting swept off their feet was enough already to watch this :-) People might find it gross, but those who find it offending obviously missed the point. Every race, color or personal problem is attended to. A fun ride with a cold one nearby.

When I first sat down to see the movie, I did not know what exactly to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I couldn't stop laughing the entire time. It pushes the envelope in all the right ways. You really never know what they will do next in the movie. Gary Coleman plays an excellent role in this movie as a struggling actor just trying to win a million dollars. His part for me is what makes the movie. His sarcastic comments keep coming throughout the entire movie. This is a must see movie for anyone who enjoyed Jackass or Borat. Both the mascots and Midgets compete in Jackass-like stunts and events in order to win a million dollars. These events are as unpredictable as "least number of insults till you get punched in the face". This part was one of the highlights for me. I definitely recommend this movie if you want a good laugh.
