Clever.

Series 7 is clever, hip filmmaking, admirable for its tenacious faithfulness to the world it creates.

'Reality' notwithstanding, the performances in this film are uniformly good, and Brooke Smith as Dawn is better than that.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic

It's as funny as you could reasonably expect without Christopher Guest being involved in the project.
