Fantastic!
... View MoreThe movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreThere's been Good vs. Bad, Trump vs Rosie, Obama vs. McCain, Heroes vs. Villains, and now there's finally Midgets vs. Mascots a Jackass like film involving a group of dwarfs and a group of costumes nobodies challenging each other to a series of competition to compete to get 30 points. The winning team's team captain will get $5,000,000 for himself, and another $5,000,000 to split amongst the team. The loser gets the glory of being a loser.Thats the extent of the film. Nothing is accomplished. The film is 90 minutes of jokes and hilarious events. The Best Tolerance of an actor in any movie goes to Gary Coleman entirely. In scenes of this film he is at his meanest and is up to his neck (not to high) in frustration. He was angry with the producers for showing him going full frontal nudity in the movie. Though it is said on the Midgets vs. Mascots website the contract Coleman signed stated that he agreed for the producers to use any footage of him in the film they wanted. So, Coleman's screwed.It is unclear if he wanted to do the film in the first place seeing as he was mostly frustrated the whole movie. Though saying the funniest quotes and lines I have ever heard. It seems he wanted money mainly because he has not had much famous work since his early roles. I have read in numerous cases that he will die this year, which will be tragic, but lets face it, his health is diminishing.I must say for a small company like First Look Studios, to release unknown flops like Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, Meet Bill, and most recently Suicide Girls: Guide to Living. To release a movie entitled Midgets vs. Mascots and to not have Jason Acuna (Wee-Man) in it take some strong guts. Wee-Man is known for being the world's famous dwarf, we have Jason Mewes, Gary Coleman, SCOTTIE PIPPEN, but no Wee-Man. Excusing that small loophole, the film is still great, and lives on like a Jackass sequel.Starring: Gary Coleman, Scottie Pippen, and Jason Mewes. Directed by: Ron Carlson.
... View MoreOK, I have to admit I did not think midgets vs mascots was going to be any good, and I was bummed my husband talked me into going. But I have to say, I laughed almost every minute of this little movie. Sometimes I was a little ashamed at how much I was laughing, as the jokes and scenes are totally wrong and offensive, but the whole thing struck me as just ridiculous and hilarious. I don't know how much of it was shot real, but it looks real, and in my mind I laughed like it was real. This movie is at my raunch comedy limit, but I don't think I've seen a movie in a long time that had this many laughs in it. It might be a whole new genre of low budget shock comedy.....as I'm convincing myself there are plenty of warped senses of humor out there.
... View MoreIf you have a sense of humor and aren't easily offended, this shockumentary is something you'll enjoy. Hesitant at first, the witty banter, shock value and character interaction easily won me over.In an attempt to showcase his two favorite groups of people, Big Red sends five mascots and five midgets on a 30-day challenge to compete for this inheritance money, leading to hospitalizations, arrests and great entertainment. Participants competed in outrageous and hilarious stunts ranging from field races and drinking competitions to gator wrestling and fight clubs, doing whatever it took to win the $1 million.From the sharts, fights, nudity and absurdity, this movie will not disappoint.
