As recent mockumentaries go for the laughs, this Doc hits them straight on!
Whereas Hollywood and the Independent film market have spent the last few years churning out films that painstakingly stage "spontaneous" interaction between the members of regional communities, this documentary follows the average American on a whirlwind tour of Europe, observing with great sensitivity and humor, how the "beast" (as portrayed in mockumentaries) reacts to new situations. Blank takes care to show a rounded perspective of this type of trip, complete with observations from European tour guides, chefs, vendors and others who are used to hosting these groups. Where films like Drop Dead Gorgeous try to play on the "backwards/backwoods" Midwestern communities, Blank is not sympathetic or mocking, he simply stands back and lets the characters speak for themselves. Any comedy or human interest lover would enjoy this film.
