If you liked Borat and Jackass, Midgets vs. Mascots is definitely a must-see! I saw Midgets vs. Mascots at the Tribeca Film Festival and it's truly an original. A diseased midget from Texas gives up his $10 million fortune to the winner of a contest between 5 midgets and 5 mascots who perform crazy stunts and compete in hilarious contests to win the money.I recommend it to anyone who enjoys slapstick humor or funny explicit material. It's hilarious, unpredictable and Gary Coleman is outstanding and crazy funny. I don't think I ever stopped laughing throughout the entire movie. Midgets vs. Mascots is the type of movie that will keep you laughing over and over again- the entire film is outrageous and goofy but has a good message at the end. Can't wait until it's out on video!

OK, 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.

Saw it at Tribeca 09 where it won bronze. Outragous stuff. Crazy funny. Had a lot of the same elements as Borat, as it was a mockumentary that was shocking. I actually saw it a second time at Tribeca and i liked it even more the 2nd time...one of those movies where the characters grow on ya. I don't think a studio like these type movies, and I'm pretty sure movie critics will hate it, but i think it just comes down to if you like raunchy comedy movies, and if you do you will love mvm. I have heard it may come out around Christmas, which will be a nice balance to the super hyped movies like Avatar and Sherlock. If you liked Borat or Jackass, go see it.

The film's website describes it as a kind of Borat-meets-Jackass. Sounded interesting, so I attended one of the Tribeca showings. The description turned out to be right on -- lots of wild stunts, plenty of offensive material, and (believe it or not) a really good performance by Gary Coleman, though it's hard to tell if he was acting. The good news is that it was better than many of the raunchy (and not-so-raunchy) comedies that have come out over the last 4-5 years. And despite all of the nastiness, the film delivers a pretty decent message at the end as the little people pull together and the mascots give them some respect. Overall, it's worth seeing. Just don't take your grandmother.
