Waiting for Guffman

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Funny, sly movie about a small-town Midwestern theater company doing a history of their town as a tribute. A really great look at their connection to the theater as an institution, and what it means in their lives. Fine stuff on the town’s refusal to accept and acknowledge their director’s gayness. Wonderful bits with Fred Willard and Eugene Levy about penis reduction surgery and Jewishness. A good film that’s even funnier in retrospect. I liked it more than B+, who saw it on video
