Contrary to Spinal Tap, this movie, being Christopher Guests Mockumentary Directorial Debut, is by far one of my favorite comedies (Apart from my #1 being Monty Python's Life of Brian). Waiting for Guffman truly captures what doing a play in a small, rural town (like Blaine) is like. The Drama, the tension, the excitement, the lack of talent, its all here in this movie rolled up into one wacky ball of comical satire. You really almost believe that somebody really did take a camera to a small town named Blaine, Missouri and filmed this real production. I guess that's why I love Mockumentary's so much. The people and situations seem so real but at the same time its just so ridiculously hilarious. No wonder Mockumentary is so Genius!!!
