Excitement, intense competition, and extraordinary feats of derring-do are awaiting the bizarre collective of contestants in MASCOTS. It's the 8th Annual World Mascot Association Championship, and the 20 finalists are vying for the Fluffy Awards in bronze, silver, and gold. Who will win the coveted trophies? Cindy Babineaux's modern-dancing Armadillo (Parker Posey)? Tommy Zucarello, the Blue Lake Mallards' Bad Boy's "Fist" (Chris O'Dowd)? London's longtime champion, Owen Golly, Jr., as "Sid the Hedgehog" (Tom Bennett)? Phil Mayhew as "Jake the Plumber" (Christopher Moynihan)? Or Mike and Mindy Murray (Zach Woods and Sarah Baker), the bickering-est couple in Anaheim? Along with the participation of Christopher Guest regulars in less central roles (Fred Willard, Jane Lynch, Ed Begley, Jr., Don Lake, John Michael Higgins), the prime contestants face critical obstacles in their paths: a bout of food poisoning, a rebuff from an old flame, a skirmish with a micromanaging dad, and a run-in with the law. The finals are a sight to behold -- it's a mascot free-for-all that only Guest and company could create.
