"Waiting for Guffman" was everything people told me it was...Actually, only a few people told me about it- and those few didn't say much except "You've got to see it." So, technically, it wasn't everything people told me it was. No one told me what it was. What I do *know* is it was funny- and sad.I must admit I am a recovering community-theater actress. (I slip every so often, but I'm not a bad person. It's a disease, people, a disease.) The people I saw represented in that show fit the saddest stereotypes and truest truths, too. Just like "Best in Show", another mockumentary by the same director, Christopher Guest, the people are so recognizeable. Not so much the characters by name, but instead by their actions, voices and the mannerisms they carry.I knew a Catherine O'Hara caricatures. Unfortunately I know too many Parker Poseys playas, too.Gotta go get cat food.Should I... "Strike?""know the terminology already...""They're my work horses, I call them my work horses."

Re:
That did it.I love "Best in Show". I've heard great things about "A Mighty Wind" from people I generally trust with movies (not reviewers). All I needed was a non-reviewer (errr... someone paid to review) to give me a thumbs-up on "Waiting for Guffman". And now I have that thumbs-up. I think you generally liked "Guffman", although found it hit a bit close to home for you. But "Adaptation." was the same for me.So, that did it. I just ordered the "Christopher Guest Collection" off of Amazon. I get all 3 of those movies now. I'm happy.

One of my all time favorite movies!MTC

Re:
