Waiting for Guffman - 7

This is a hilarious film from Christopher Guest (This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind). Like these other films, Waiting for Guffman is a comedy only because the characters take themselves so seriously. All of Guest's films are shot in a documentary type style, while remaining fictional stories. All of his films are believable, you have met some of these people in real life, you may in fact be one of these people, which can lead to tow responses: become really self conscious, or laugh with others about your own idiosyncrasies and foibles. At times these films seem over written, to forced, but if these films were any less strange they would be less believable.
