Former Saturday Night Live comedian and Spinal Tap member Christopher Guest creates the ultimate parody of small-town dramatics, Waiting for Guffman. Corky St. Claire (Guest), an overwhelming drama director hiding out in Blaine, Missouri, thinks he has found the vehicle to put him back on Broadway: the city's 150th anniversary play, Red, White, and Blaine. As rehearsals start, we learn of the town's history ('the stool capital of the world') including a brush with a UFO. The mockumentary follows the various townsfolk wishing for stardom: Parker Posey as a Dairy Queen clerk, Catherine O'Hara and Fred Willard as stage-struck travel agents, Matthew Keeslar as the town's bad boy, and Eugene Levy (who cowrote the film with Guest) as a dentist who dreams of glory on the stage. The film is a hoot from beginning to end, and be sure to watch the closing credits. Fans of Guest's deft dry humor should not miss his other parody of the entertainment world, The Big Picture (Kevin Bacon as a student filmmaker who goes to Hollywood). --Doug Thomas Customers who bought this item also bought Best in Show A Mighty Wind This Is Spinal Tap (Special Edition) For Your Consideration Rushmore Customer Reviews for: Waiting for Guffman Rating - 3 stars out of 4 The Bottom Line: Slight but witty comedy with a suprising affection for its characters; its charm only grows with repeat viewings.

Not quite as well done as Best in Show or a Mighty Wind, but still a classic. Rating - Waiting for Guffman "Waiting for Guffman" is Christopher Guest's hilarious faux documentary about community theater in the small little town of Blaine, Missouri. Guest himself plays Corky St Clair (recently of New York) who brings such classic hits as "Backdraft" to the stage, much to the consternation of the local fire department. Now Blaine wants to direct a production to celebrate its sesquicentennial. Corky makes it into a musical called "Red, White, and Blaine" and casts a motley troupe of local eccentrics much to the ...
