Waiting for Guffman review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/03/12
Direction was good and performances brilliant. The plot, screenplay, soundtrack and overall humor just didn't appeal to this reviewer. Amusing is the better term to describe the character driven documentary style film. The practices were funny and performance on the play thoughtful. Had a few nice lines such as "Some people find it ironical that although we run a travel agency, we've never been outside of Blaine." from Ron and "You have to go where the love is." by Dr. Pearl. This rater has high standards for comedies since it's probably the hardest to rate and it didn't tickle my funny bone. Best in Show is still tops for this critic but Waiting for Guffman is worth a view for Guest fanatics, Blain residents or those who enjoy plays.
