Almost Heroes



I might have first saw this via Blockbuster but downloaded it from demand the other day.  Still found it amusing.  No classic but great for television viewing -- it has many amusing vignettes, it is pretty well paced, the history plot interests me personally and Christopher Guest (and various character actors) crafts a professional film.  This is half the battle, even if a movie (and this too has this quality) is somewhat hit and miss. 

Anyway, liked Matthew Perry in a few films, including this one.  His best, which gets the best reviews, is The Whole Nine Yards (followed, for some asinine reason, by a really stupid sequel), which also benefits from a good cast.  The other (which takes advantage of the Chandler "he's gay, right?" bit) is Three to Tango.  From what I saw of it, Serving Sara was not really worth it.  Perry has a long resume with a lot of subpar content.  He also had some extended guest starring roles on more successful shows.
