Synopsis

This mock documentary, set in the fictional town of Blaine, Missouri, chronicles the attempts of its talent-free residents to put on a show celebrating the burg's 150th anniversary. From the fey director Corky St. Clair to the Dairy Queen girl, the cast and crew scream incompetence. Furthermore, St. Claire has invited Guffman -- a Broadway producer -- to see the production, with the hopes that they will eventually make it to the Great White Way. Can the local yokels make something out of nothing?

Review

USA Today, 01/31/1997, p.3D, "...The nonstop amusing mockumentary WAITING FOR GUFFMAN does to small-town acting troupes what THIS IS SPINAL TAP did to heavy-metal..."--3.5 out of 4 stars

Chicago Sun-Times, 02/21/1997, p.35, "...It proceeds with a certain comic relentlessness from setup to payoff, and its deliberation is part of the fun..."

Variety, 09/16/1996, "...[This] mockumentary from SPINAL TAP alumnus Christopher Guest has genuine laughs..."

Entertainment Weekly, 02/14/1997, p.43, "...A madcap gem....A veritable triumph of tackiness..."

New York Times, 01/31/1997, p.C6, "...Sly....[Posey] steals yet another movie....[She] is headed for big things..."

Los Angeles Times, 01/31/1997, p.F1, "...A sly and gleeful comedy showcase that pokes clever fun at the American musical, amateur theatricals and anything else that's not nailed down..."

Product Notes

The star-struck denizens of backwater burg Blaine, Missouri, gear up for their chance in the limelight when their community theatre impresario promises them that talent scout Mort Guffman will attend the opening of their sesquicentennial gala, a musical revue called "Red, White, and Blaine." A charming "mockumentary" co-scripted and directed by that genre's unofficial kingpin, Christopher Guest (of THIS IS SPINAL TAP fame).
