What's amazing about this film-(and also, A Mighty Wind and Spinal Tap) is that the musical/theatrical stuff is not so wildly laughable that it's over the top. Chris Guest strikes a wonderful balance between earnest and heartfelt affection for the material and the obvious goofiness.
The first time I saw this on the DVD extras and Christopher Guest comes in with that ending "high" note, I was laughing so hard I fell off of my couch. So damn funny.
Don't know if you other Guffman freaks do this, but I can tell how much, or how little I will get along with another person based on their reaction to the movie. It really is that seminal, to me. Maybe I put to much stock in a movie, but the test has yet to fail me.
@MandyVin17 When my daughter starting dating her now husband, she told me "he loves Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman.." I guess he passed the test.
@MandyVin17 I do the same thing!!! If they don't get the humor, then they don't have a sense of humor to me.. Some people either get it or they don't.
I think Guest gets a little "cut happy" sometimes. This is sooo funny I don't care why he left it out, shoulda left it in. Obviously made to be the centerpiece. IMO, of course.
"You taught me how to be a man"
Love Fred Willards face when he says that.

Love Balaban as the "maestro". This so totally nails "community theatre", and why it's SO enjoyable.

I love Fred Willard's Henry Fonda impression. And the look on his face when Christopher Guests delivers the last note(s) is priceless.

@d983394 Yes! If you haven't seen any Welles' films, or Bergman, or Allen, or just about 10,000 other films.

A brilliant song written by the amazing Michael McKean. This really should have been in the movie.

@WebsterCountyMusic Couldn't agree more. I must have watched this movie 50 times and still love it just as much as the 1st time.
