Denver Post
A clever series that emulates the styles of great documentaries past and applies them to fanciful (nonsensical) people and events.

These parodies are filmed with loving detail imitating the style as well as the look of each film, yet they're not content with being just parodies.

Documentary Now! is so wonderfully silly it may take viewers a moment to recognize just how smart it is, too.
