I went to see this movie the other night. It was one of those locally made movies. A. Anonymous. I was assured it was good. It was far better than that. It was fantastic. Hilarious. It reminds me of Best of Show. It is a mockumentary on a self help group. The writing is superb and the characters are hilarious. They did a fantastic job. An amazing job. I takes a minute for my suspension of belief for it is so out there. And once I did I nearly fell out of my seat. The humor is really subtle, but not. More than one time I put my face in my hands. Ray Brewer is a nutjob. Grace with the straight character the whole way through playing off of Brewer and Mizz Jones. So rich! And Tony with that ball and the smiley face. The whole thing. All the characters were just so ridiculously rich. And cameos by Gus Torregrossa from Gus' Fine Fashions and Shoes. This movie involves huffing, Mexican wrestling masks, passing out and more. George was perfectly convincing, and quite creepy funny weird in his execution of his character.

Lordy lordy!! Two technical praises- the movie was a good length and the editing worked well with the writing.

A. (Anonymous) The Dream Team they ain't. In Daniel Bowers' mockumentary, support-group outcasts work together to overcome their unique mental defects: a physiologically blessed young man who faints every time he becomes aroused, a lesbian who believes she is an Italian bicycling champion, a dog lover with a compulsion to run over things in the street, a grown man prone to throwing child-like tantrums and a leader with no formal psychological training who is addicted to wearing tight pants (and who's got the permanently numbed toes to prove it). When a new, bad-boy, detergent-and-cologne-huffing member with a fetish for wrestling masks comes onboard, he nearly disrupts the natural (dis)order of things before falling into a downward spiral that results in his arrest at a Laundromat.

But even in the aftermath of a tragedy, the group lives up to its motto, "A's never turn their back on anyone."
