This is a pretty witless mockumentary. It's a Jackass style film with many gross events. I once watched an episode of Jackass. I hated it.The jokes are sometimes mildly amusing but usually tiresome. The novelty of the central idea pretty much evaporates after a few seconds, and we are then left with 90 minutes or so of general lameness to put up with. The movie tries desperately hard to be outrageous and sometimes it succeeds but only in the sense of showing something disgusting. Like puking. I don't want to watch people puking up. Be it midgets or mascots or anyone. It's not good. Showing something vile is a very easy way to get a reaction. It doesn't make it worth watching though.The only person I recognized was the late Gary Coleman. It may just have been good acting but to me it looked like he was having a miserable time. It seemed that he had sadly resigned himself to the fact that Diff'rent Strokes was a lifetime away and had accepted that Midgets vs. Mascots indicated a pretty bleak future for the pint-sized actor. His untimely death at least saved him from any more of this demeaning rubbish.

If 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.

I was fortunate to get a sneak pick at this crazy film and it was hilarious! The entire idea behind the movie is awesomely ridiculous! Watching Midgets and Mascots battling it out while competing in these crazy events was a riot! If you like Jackass, Wildboyz, or watching people get hurt this movie is right up your alley! It's got everything from a milk chugging fiasco to alligator wrestling. Gary Coleman stars in this film and his no nonsense, "I don't take crap from anyone" personality is to perfect! Midget Vs. Mascots is out of control from the moment it starts right through to the very end! If you are looking for laughs and a new movie to quote check this one out!

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.
