Watch: Waiting for Guffman 1996 123movies, Full Movie Online – The residents of Blaine, Missouri – the self-proclaimed home of the first UFO landing in the United States (Blaine residents beg to differ with Roswell’s claims) and stool capital of the world – are excited about the town’s upcoming sesquicentennial celebrations, which will have as its centerpiece the original musical production, “Red, White and Blaine”. Assisted by high school music teacher Lloyd Miller, Corky St. Clair, the musical’s writer/composer and former New York theater professional (off off off off Broadway) who currently leads the Blaine Community Players, will helm the production. Corky and Lloyd are excited about their ‘talented’ cast of locals and the production as a whole, Corky and Lloyd who themselves are as untalented and unaware as their cast. Corky and company are especially anticipating the presence of Mort Guffman in the audience on opening night, he a representative of the prestigious New York based Oppenheimer Organization. In Corky’s mind, a favorable review from Guffman means that the production is heading to Broadway. Through all the ups and downs and more downs of the pre-production, everyone in Blaine still can’t wait for opening night and the arrival of Guffman, upon who the cast and crew’s dreams rest..
Plot: Aspiring director Corky St. Clair and the marginally talented amateur cast of his hokey small-town musical production go overboard when they learn that Broadway theater agent Mort Guffman will be in attendance.

Good spoof documentary from Guest
Sometimes dry, sometimes bubbling satire of middle America chronicles Corky Corkoran’s (Guest) efforts to put on a spectacle commemorating the town of Blaine’s 150th anniversary. Told in “mockumentary” style like most of Guest’s films. Corky drafts an odd assortment of local talent to bring his historical revue to life, including the local dentist (Levy) and travel agent couple (O’Hara and Willard). Like “Spinal Tap”, this film mercilessly spoofs the “artistic” pretentions of Corky and his cast, but the audience ends up feeling genuine affection for the characters, the provincial backwater of Blaine, and even Corky’s awful show with laughable music and acting. Guest’s performance, as well as several of the others, is very funny and memorable.A likeable comedy that some audiences may find too slow… much funnier than his later (and more popular) “Best of Show”.
