Time Out
Sometimes Guest’s films stray into snobbery against flyover country, but Mascots mostly avoids that. It hides its toxic warfare under a furry guise. - 75
The Playlist
Guest isn’t fixing what isn’t broke, but after so long between movies, and with many more people tackling the style, it does leave Mascots at times feeling a bit overfamiliar. - 67
Consequence
It might be a lesser addition to the Guest oeuvre, but it’s a welcome one nonetheless - 67
Entertainment Weekly
If you’re a Guest devotee, you’ll be in the stands cheering; otherwise, Mascots feels like a bit of a retread. - 60
CineVue
This is the fourth instalment in the Guest mockumentary 'canon' and it's evidence that the format has now solidified into a template that needs refreshing, as much gentle enjoyment as it might bring. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
The gentle tone and disjointed sketch-show structure here will appeal to long-standing fans, but Mascots wins no prizes for innovation or progression. The jokes are uneven, the caricatures often overly broad and the plot almost nonexistent. - 60
Screen Daily
There are plenty of solid laughs in Mascots — everything from jokes about furries to throwaway bits involving obscure cable channels — but what’s disappointing is that there’s not a great overr-iding idea that ties all the gags together. - 60
ScreenCrush
There are an obscene number of funny people in this movie — though Mascots is not as obscenely funny as that Murderers’ Row of comedy talent would suggest.
