Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

MartinHafer "Just About Famous" is the perfect time-passer--a film you don't need to pay as strict attention to as a subtitled movie nor with a plot that is over-taxing. This is NOT meant as a criticism--it's just nice, light entertainment.This documentary is about folks who impersonate celebrities. The stories are all bound together by a convention in Orlando for these impersonators, Sunburst in Orlando, Florida. During the course of the film, you see a lot of these people talking about their craft and saying how much fun they're having doing this. In general, they seem like really nice folks and I enjoyed the film...but was a bit confused why they chose to often use Mexican mariachi music throughout the film. Why?! It certainly didn't seem to fit.

eawalsh-86471 This movie was really entertaining! It follows look alike performers as they pursue their strange bandwagon careers. And what interesting careers they have!! The impersonators they chose ranged from US presidents, to pop stars, and random celebrities, and they could not have been any funnier! You get a real intimate look at their lives and how they were discovered, and the different directions they take with the attention they receive. It was fascinating to follow their journeys as they try to make it in showbiz and other strange venues. It's the funniest documentary I've seen in a while! I don't know where they find these people, but I want to see more! This should be a weekly TV show.

Theo Robertson Ah fame . Something everyone is conditioned in to wanting become , I have met several famous people . Dappy and Fazer from N-Dubz borrowed a lighter from me and never saw the lighter again . If I ever see either again it'll be too soon and thankfully the pop charts have as missed them as much as I do . I had Alex Salmond walk past me one time , I got in to an argument with Nick Broomfield once and one time I accidentally literally bumped in to the Hibernian FC team of 2006 as they returned from training . That's probably it as far as famous people I met . I would like to be famous myself as a type of warrior poet , a hybrid between Lord Byron , George Orwell and Leon Trotsky . Until then my cerebral statements will have to be confined to this website .This documentary by Jason Kovacsev and Matt Mamula revolves around people who resemble real life superstars on a physical level and how they make a living out of it . I can understand the appeal of this to an extent and do remember an interview in a lads mag many years ago with interviews with tribute bands like The Australian Pink Floyd and The Joshua Trio and the surprising amount of money that can be made playing gigs . It's interesting many people seen here such as Chris America who does gigs as an all era Madonna and Betty Atchinson does the same as Lady Gaga and if there's money to be made go for it . However much of this documentary reminded me of the documentary TREKKERS from a few years back where we seem to be invited to laugh at the subjects rather than laugh with them . I'm thinking most especially of John Allen who looks like a present day Sean Connery but sadly can't do the voice . John try speaking as though you've got an terrible abscess while having a fatal stroke , it's not that difficult . As for people appearing as Presidents of the USA well that strikes me as wanting to be a Gary Glitter or Jimmy Savile look-a-like One thing I was puzzled by is the genuine adulation these dopplegangers receive . Now I can understand the appeal of wanting to be photographed with beautiful woman ( Check my avatar for absolute proof) and Ms America and Ms Atchinson drop heavy hints that their partners really enjoy being with a sexy superstar singer . I won't draw you a diagram but you know what I'm saying here guys . What I find strange is the general public being with these look-a-likes actually paying for autographs and having their pictures taken with these "superstars" . Maybe there's another documentary coming from the same production team as to why people are obsessed with fame on even the most vague and abstract level ?

madonnashow This film is a fascinating look into a unique profession where only a handful of individuals specialize. It is entertaining and follows talented individuals who work at their craft to portray various celebrities in demand for corporate functions and special events. There are amusing moments and good story lines about each character and an opportunity to observe a close knit community that gather once a year at a convention to grow in their field and positively contribute to our society's insatiable appetite and fascination with celebrity culture. Nice pacing and well presented. Talent from all over the USA and abroad. They tell stories of experiences they've encountered as their celebrity.
