	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"It's got a few chuckles, but mostly it plays like a rerun of past comic glories."	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"'Mascots' suffers from mockumentary fatigue syndrome"	NEG
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"[A] tremendously witty and (mostly) good natured comedy.(…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"'Mascots' wins no prizes for innovation or progression. The jokes are uneven, the caricatures often overly broad and the plot almost nonexistent."	NEG
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"The only things it elicits are reflexive chuckles and a sense of creeping boredom."	NEG
United States	Susan Wloszczyna rogerebert.com	"Guest’s once-incisive satirical bite has grown dull in its familiarity (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"'Mascots' isn’t a revelation or a new high-water mark for Guest — but it is a demonstration of how good he is at this kind of stuff"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"Guest is copying all his old moves too closely (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
