Miscellaneous
Muze Description
The star-struck denizens of backwater burg Blaine, Missouri, gear up for their chance in the limelight when their community theatre impresario promises them that talent scout Mort Guffman will attend the opening of their sesquicentennial gala, a musical revue called "Red, White, and Blaine." A charming "mockumentary" co-scripted and directed by that genre's unofficial kingpin, Christopher Guest (of THIS IS SPINAL TAP fame).

Synopsis
This mock documentary, set in the fictional town of Blaine, Missouri, chronicles the attempts of its talent-free residents to put on a show celebrating the burg's 150th anniversary. From the fey director Corky St. Clair to the Dairy Queen girl, the cast and crew scream incompetence. Furthermore, St. Claire has invited Guffman -- a Broadway producer -- to see the production, with the hopes that they will eventually make it to the Great White Way. Can the local yokels make something out of nothing?

Production Notes
Co-produced by Pale Morning Dun.

Shown at the 1996 Boston Film Festival.

Although the film is set in Missouri, it was shot in Lockhart and Austin, Texas.

Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
"...It proceeds with a certain comic relentlessness from setup to payoff, and its deliberation is part of the fun..."

02/21/1997 | p.35 | Roger Ebert

USA Today
"...The nonstop amusing mockumentary WAITING FOR GUFFMAN does to small-town acting troupes what THIS IS SPINAL TAP did to heavy-metal..."--3.5 out of 4 stars

01/31/1997 | p.3D | Susan Wloszczyna

Los Angeles Times
"...A sly and gleeful comedy showcase that pokes clever fun at the American musical, amateur theatricals and anything else that's not nailed down..."

01/31/1997 | p.F1 | Kenneth Turan

Entertainment Weekly
"...A madcap gem....A veritable triumph of tackiness..."

02/14/1997 | p.43 | Owen Gleiberman

New York Times
"...Sly....[Posey] steals yet another movie....[She] is headed for big things..."

01/31/1997 | p.C6 | Janet Maslin

Variety
"...[This] mockumentary from SPINAL TAP alumnus Christopher Guest has genuine laughs..."

09/16/1996 | Daniel M. Kimmel

Wall Street Journal
"This send-up of amateur theatrics was directed by the master of the mockumentary, Christopher Guest."
