Waiting for Guffman

Apollo Score:

Readers' Rating: 94/100

Summary

It’s another ‘mock-umentary’ from Christopher Guest (This Is Spinal Tap, Best In Show), this time skewering regional theatre. Guest plays Corky St. Clair, one-time hotshot director who’s now trying to put together a musical in hokey Blaine, Missouri.

Filled with wry observations on theatre, small-town thinking and human politics, it’s smart, witty, goofy and hugely entertaining. - Brian Webster

A group of memorable characters with such pathos that we cannot help but empathize with them and such uniquely comical idiosyncrasies that we cannot help but laugh. - Derek Smith
