Another film about the filmmaking process. This one's a bit funnier than usually the case, but the crux remains the same. Artists are wacky, crazy people, and knowing what goes on behind the scenes makes it implausible that films ever get released. And yet, thousands upon thousands of films each year see the light of day.
Like most of these films, Official Competition is incredibly self-aware, but at least there's a bit more self-mockery present, even when none of it is very original. The performances are good and there are some decent moments, but most of it is too predictable. It's not the worst of its kind, but it's not exactly a standout either.
