Waiting for Guffman

If you have ever seen or been a part of community theatre, this gem will drop your jaw, and bust your gut from laughter! Priceless and ageless!

So ahead of its time and underrated. Genius - best movie ever. period.

I am not overstating things when I say this is the most underrated movie I have ever seen. I saw this with a couple of friends at an independent theater in college. It never received wide release like the rest of the movies in this series of "mockumentaries," such as Best in Show, This is Spinal Tap or A Mighty Wind. However, this movie is my favorite of the entire group. It might not have been in wide release because it rips on small-town life in middle-America, and the studio probably thought it might not go over among the people at whom it is poking fun. Christopher Guest's character "Corky" appears to be based on the flamboyant character he played as the coach of the first Olympic men's synchronized swimming team in the classic SNL skit featuring Harry Shearer and Martin Short. Fourteen years after this movie came out, my friends and I still recite lines from this movie on a regular basis, just like we do from our other cult favorites like The Big Lebowski and Lost in America. Best of all, it's a cheap rental! Rent it today, and you will want to buy a "Remains of the Day lunchbox" tomorrow. (Just watch the movie and you'll get the joke).

Hilarious from the moment you hit play!

The musical numbers at the end of the movie make this movie. Guest is great, and ten bucks is a great price for this movie.
