I’m not a huge fan of mockumentaries and I never bothered to check out the last one with Samberg and Kit from Game of Thrones but this was surprisingly great. It’s got an all star cast but I think what really sold it was Lance Armstrong.

Listen, I don’t give a fuck about his doping history. The guy has raised millions for cancer research and treatment along with spreading awareness and has done more overall good in the world than you or I ever will. So if you can’t get past the fact that he took drugs to beat other guys on drugs then fuck off. Glad he was down with this though because it really did a good job poking fun at the ridiculousness of the sport and how serious some take it.

Another highlight of the film is that you don’t have to know anything about racing or the Tour de France to enjoy it. While that should be common practice not all mockumentaries are good without background knowledge. Here the race is barely the point it’s instead simply a canvas to showcase the Andy Samberg and his team’s absurd comedy.

At a brisk 40 minutes it’s definitely worth your time. Plus there’s a ton of short, joke-packed cameos from Maya Rudolph, Will Forte, Jeff Goldblum, J.J. Abrams, Phylicia Rashad, Kevin Bacon, and a dozen more respectable figures – including I think Tom Hanks in the background of a brawl scene (guessing Samberg called in a ton of favors for this).
