DVD Reviews of Waiting for Guffman
DVD Review: Funniest Guest!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to own what I consider to be the funniest Christopher Guest movie.
It's great to show this to someone who has never seen anything done by this group of funny talented actors.
I'll only give this dvd up if it comes out in blu-ray.
DVD Review: One of the funniest films going.
Summary: 5 Stars
Waiting for Guffman is absolutely uproarious. There are few films with quite as much humor, energy and spirit as this one. Watching it, you find yourself not only laughing at the characters, but really sympathizing with them and rooting for them.
This is one of the best comedies going.
DVD Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Slight but witty comedy with a suprising affection for its characters; its charm only grows with repeat viewings.
DVD Review: A must-have for mocumentarians.
Summary: 4 Stars
Great movie which basically does for community theater what Spinal Tap did to rock and roll.
Not quite as well done as Best in Show or a Mighty Wind, but still a classic.
DVD Review: Superb off beat comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fine comedy movie from the Spinal Tap people. There are great one liners and a terrific cast. This is a small gem, a wonderful film.
Description of Waiting for Guffman
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Run time: 84 minutes Rating: ROne of the funniest films in many a moon was hiding at art house theaters in 1998. 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
