Incident at Loch Ness (Zak Penn, 2004)


Incident at Loch Ness (Zak Penn, 2004)
Rating: 8.3

The Incident At Loch Ness was an incredibly entertaining, hilarious, and extremely well executed mockumentary. I thought the first 40 minutes or so seemed pretty legit, but I think the comedy registers better as things become more absurd. The premise is pretty clever, they set up jokes for later callbacks much in the same way Curb Your Enthusiasm does, and parodying Herzog's repuatation and mystique makes for great comic results, not to mention he is one of the most fascinating people to watch period.
