The mocumentary film genre started to blossom in the 1980's with Christopher Guest's This is Spinal Tap. Which is one of my favorite comedies. Then after about 1985 mocumentaries died off. Until, Sacha Baron Cohen started the genre back up, with his successful hit Borat. Now comes Dax Shepard's attempt in the mocumentary world with Brother's Justices.
Brother's Justice is the mocumentary that follows Dax Shepard, who has left the comedy world, and is trying to make a martial arts movie, that he wrote. He starts pitching the script without giving any plot details, so everyone thinks he is crazy for trying to make this film. The mocumentary is filled with great celebrity cameos from Jon Favreau, Tom Arnold, Bradley Cooper, David Koechner, Michael Rosenbaum, and Ashton Kutcher.
I found this mocumentary to be extremely funny. Most of it was shot in 2006, and then progresses throughout the years. This is along the lines of I'm Still Here the mocumentary, that Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix created a year back. It follows an actor who gives up what he is known for to reinvent himself in another way. Brother's Justice is more light- hearted funny, than I'm Still Here is, but is absolutely ridiculous, and insanely hilarious. This is not a film in theaters. It is playing at the Tribeca Film Festival, or is playing on Time Warner Cable's On Demand. I give Brother's Justice an 8 out of 10.
