“Great World of Sound” Trailer

When Borat shocked viewers with its unscripted, tasteless take on poor American values (exemplified by actual Americans) everybody knew that it would open the floodgates for improv-docs of lesser quality – quick cash-ins riding Sacha Baron Cohens’ success. Nobody expected a film to capture the same loose, improvisational vibe while (possibly) one-upping the top media personality in Kazakhstan.

Great World of Sound revolves around the concept of Americans having talent…and doing everything in their power to ensure themselves a spot in the limelight. Martin (Pat Healy) and Clarence (Kene Holliday) are scouts in the seedy underbelly of the music industry, where half-baked talent is given a chance to strut their stuff for big-league fame.

It’s all a sham as expected; dozens of dolts with their heart set on stardom fall completely flat on-camera while people with raw talent fall prey to their own fooish naivety.

In this age of painful mediocrity over true-blue talent it’s great to see a movie set the record straight, all pun intended. The cottage industry of talentless superstars making millions must be stopped!

Not sold yet on this ingenious concept that will give a wake-up call to any starry-eyed bozo willing to shell over thousands of dollars to “make it big”? Check out the “Great World of Sound” website – its old-school Yahoo “Geocities” webpage reeks of greasy con-men out for a quick buck.
