Why hasn't this woman written more films ?!?!?!

If you like 'mocumentaries' this is one of the funniest around. The writing is excellent and just as important, the timing of the jokes really work. In one of the early scenes at the trailer park, the documentary makers are filming the mom and her friend (done hilariously by Allison Janney) and when they notice the cameras, she says, 'Are we on Cops again ?'

To me it passes an important test when I can watch this film a numbers of times and still laugh at the girl talking about her 'lucky bolt' and the creepy rival talking about solving world hunger with her mom's apple pie. It really is chock full of hilarious lines that are still quite funny after watching the film a few times over the years.

If you liked movies like Best in Show, you will like this a lot. I cant believe this guy hasn't got money to do more projects! Really great comic directing. Compared to some of the telegraphed boring pap that gets made, this is so well done. Similarly, I was disappointed to not find more things written by Lona Williams. Its superb!
