Review of Waiting for Guffman (1997) by Rob S — 12 Aug 2009
Waiting for Guffman (1996). Cute funny mockumentary. I had not heard of this when it came out. My cousin recommended it. Its is very cute and funny. this Christopher Guest guy is a pretty funny smart guy.
The movie is a loving parody of community theater set in the small town of Blaine, Missouri. It chronicles the trials and tribulations of a handful of utterly delusional residents as they prepare to put on a community theater production led by eccentric director Corky St.
Clair (Guest). The show, a musical chronicling the town's history, titled Red, White and Blaine, is to be performed as part of the town's 150th anniversary celebration. Along with Guest, the film stars Catherine O'Hara and Fred Willard as Ron and Sheila Albertson, a pair of married travel agents (yet have never traveled outside of Blaine) who are also regular amateur performers.
three stars good fun.
