Poster for Waiting for Guffman

Waiting for Guffman (1997)

There's a good reason some talent remains undiscovered.

  • Comedy
  • Music

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.
