i've already seen this movie.... but i enjoyed it and decided to watch it again since it was OnDemand.... if you haven't seen it, it's worth watching at least once.... Christopher Guest always has a biting bit of satire on a certain segment of society.... in this one he targets small town theater.... and in some way, theater in general.... granted it's not nearly as classic as 'Hamlet 2'.... but what is....? this still received high reviews from me for just how quaintly funny it is.... there's something sweet about it.... it's not mean spirited in any way.... and is very enjoyable.... a flamboyant director begins to work on a plan on the history of the small town where he's located.... and they learn that a famous man named, Guffman, would be coming to see the show and that it could possibly make it to Broadway.... so they put on the best show that they possibly can.... and what happends next....? you'll just have to watch it to find out.... damn it.
if you like your comedies subtle and funny.... this is one you should see.... 4 out of 5 stars.... a 'classic' in it's own right.... and one of the better of Christopher Guests movies.... throw it in the queue.... what have you got to lose....?
if you like this, check out: 'A Mighty Wind', 'Best In Show' and 'This Is Spinal Tap'
