A fair amount of people have expressed disappointment with FYC. I think it has to do more with people expecting the usual mockumentary rather than the actual quality of the movie. FYC is more a spoof (conventionally filmed and scripted) than a mockumentary (free-wheeling and improvised) of the Hollywood awards engine. The only problem I had with the film was that it didn't have or say anything that we haven't seen before. There have been lots of movies and TV shows that have tread these same waters. Ironically, Ricky Gervais-who plays one of the "suits" who insists on making "Home for Purim" more appealing to a wider audience, stars in "Extras", a cable show that mocks/spoofs the very same show biz artifice! "30 Rock" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" are current examples of the genre that rips on network programs. So, FYC IS a good movie-just don't go in expecting what you are used to from Team Guest.
