Query: Waiting For Laughter

After viewing Christopher Guest's superb mockumentary "Best In Show" this film was a major disappointment. The laughs in "Waiting for Guffman" were sporadic and obvious. Guest's Corky St. Claire character's flamboyance was a little much. The depiction of Middle America was condescending if not outright insulting. The normally reliable ensemble cast(Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Fred Willard, Parker Posey) could not even transcend the weak material they were given to work with. The centerpiece of the film, a community theatre production commemmorating the history of the fictional town of Blaine, was flat and boring and not even remotely funny. I'm grateful that a talent like Guest rebounded from this misfire in his directorial debut to do better work.
