Midgets vs Mascots World Premiere Party Pictures

On Saturday we hosted the pre-party for the World Premiere of Midgets vs. Mascots at the Village Pourhouse. We all put the free open bar to good use and we’d like to say thanks to everyone who made it out.

If you weren’t able to attend the party and world premiere screening then read our review and take a look at the pictures for a glimpse of what you missed.

Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival was Midgets vs. Mascots. The movie is exactly what its title says it is. It is not an Oscar Winner, it is not a summer blockbuster, and it is certainly not insightful social commentary (as one square glassed critic tried to suggest), it is a movie made for the Adult Swim audience, a movie whose goal is to make you laugh and laugh you will.

The plot of Midgets vs. Mascots is a midget mascot named Red has passed away. Rather than divide his fortune between his gold digging wife and jackass son, Red decides to pit them against one another in a contest revolving around a team of midgets competing against a team of mascots. Whoever teams wins thirty contests in thirty days gets the inheritance. What follows is a series of hijinks that includes a gallon of milk challenge, alligator wrestling, tetherball, interrupting a baseball game, dodging traffic, cage fighting, getting punched in the face, and other assorted contests to determine which team is worthy of inheriting Big Red’s vast fortune.

The movie, despite being forty-five minutes too long, has it moments, most of which involve Gary Coleman being hilarious. Whether he’s beating up Red’s son, munching out a slut, or bashing Scotty Pippen in the head with a telephone, Coleman is clearly the star of this film. However he has some help, particularly in the cute Terra Jole, who sings a mean “We are the Champions” and serves as the heart of the film.

Overall, this is not a movie that you expect to be enlightened by (unless Gary Coleman’s d!ck is considered enlightening) it is merely a movie that is comedy for comedies sake. If you can’t deal with that then get out. Overall if you’re in the mood for a film with Adult Swim-esqe humor, check out Midgets vs. Mascots, at least for the cameo by Jason Mewes.
