Pros: Great acting and plot
Cons: Unbalanced development
I'd never heard of this movie until I came to college. Then my committee chair, acting teacher, and half my friends recommended it. Everyone I met who had seen it said it was by far the funniest movie they'd ever seen. I think I've seen funnier, but...

Pros: couple funny lines
Cons: Not smart, very simple
Someone recommended this movie to me and said "the funniest movie...blah blah." Oh please. Satires are only funny if they are EXTREMELY witty, and this movie is not. Of course Christoper Guest has another movie out called Best in Show, that...

Pros: One of the funniest films I've ever seen
Cons: You may have some of the songs in your head after watching
This is literally one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It centers on life in a small town and its community theater group who put on possibly the worst play ever. The brilliant aspects of this film are not only in the wonderful script. The...

Pros: different kind of comedy, hilarious, wonderful characters
Cons: -
Hands down the most original comedy out there. This movie just oozes comedy in a way that sucks you in immediately. After seeing this movie you'll have these characters in your head for a long, long time.
It is filmed in a mock documentary...

Pros: One of the funniest movies ever
Cons: The humor might be lost on folks not involved with community theatre
Anyone who has ever done little theatre should see this movie. Every single character in the film is someone I have encountered at one time or another through years of involvement with little theatre. It's Judy, Mickey in a barn...with stars in their...

Pros: Well formatted, good cast, good acting, well written and directed.
Cons: None
These "mock-documentaries" are always something I can enjoy. Before I saw "Waiting for Guffman", I caught "Drop Dead Gorgeous" on TV, which is also a mock-documentary. What makes these movies good for laughing-out-loud...

Pros: hilarious (in mocking kind of way), perfect casting
Cons: they didn't include the hours of outtakes in the video, it's not on DVD yet
Even before the movie was released I knew I would love it. For a few months prior to its 1997 release, I saw the trailers and couldn't stop laughing.
When it was finally released, I was at the theatre opening weekend.
As you...

This one tops my 5 Worst Movies Ever List!
O.K. Lets think about this one, review the movie, and analyze it. How can a boring, fake, ironically dis-humored movie, that made half the audience throw popcorn at the screen be considered good?

Pros: Funny
Cons: My girlfriend didn't like it that much
Waiting for Guffman is one of my favorite movies. It mocks two of my favorite things: small Missouri towns and their productions of broadway musicals. The film is shot much like Spinal Tap in that it takes the form of a documentary. This time the...

Pros: perfect acting,funny script
Cons: 86 minutes? too short!!!
Waiting For Guffman was, hands down, my favorite movie of 1997. It is so funny and all the acting is so right on!
It takes place in Blaine, Missouri, known far and wide as the "Stool capital of America"(They made stools in the 1900's) To...

Pros: Genuinely funny,
Cons: May not entertain people who "don't get the joke"
Okay, here's the scoop. This is a Mocumentary about the production of a community playhouse theatrical interpretation of the history of Blaine Missouri. I won't give away any of the plot but here's some info on the man who made it. Christopher Guest is...

Pros: Some hilarious gags.
Cons: Becomes droll and boring toward to end. A pale comparison to "Spinal Tap".
WAITING FOR GUFFMAN: In the spirit of “Spinal Tap” and “Bob Roberts”, Christopher Guest has co-written and directed “Guffman”, a mock documentary about a flamboyant has-been stage director (Guest as Corky St. Clair). Corky hopes that staging a...

Pros: Funniest movie I've seen
Cons: too few movies by these comedic geniuses
This movie is sooooo unbelievably funny I can't even describe! Having seen "Spinal Tap" numerous times (and purchasing it) I knew that any movie by Christopher Guest would be a must-see. "Waiting for Guffman" has claimed more than...

Pros: Great cast that works so well together
Cons: Some joke will only be funny to theatre people!
Being a theatre fan, I was encouraged to view Waiting For Guffman to get a true, yet scary glance into the world of community theatre. After laughing out loud over and over again, I realized that this is a commentary on real actors in communities all...

Pros: Very funny.
Cons: None.
I had to see "Waiting for Guffman" after every review I read said it was a great film. The reviews were right because I loved this movie.
This is the story of a Broadway director who moves to Blaine, Missouri in an effort to...
