This one came after Spinal Tap.... one of chris guest's homegrown films. Subtle, ironic humor, mostly improv. Guest is Corky St. Clair, director of the Blaine Community theater group. Everyone is so full of themselves, and the group is overly proud as well, putting on a small time show. But they are so full of themselves that they think it's going to be a huge successful show, going to broadway. Gene Levy is the dentist, Parker Posey works at the DQ, Fred Willard and Cathy Ohara are the plain folk, married couple. Bob Balaban is the (bitter) high school music teacher, who had directed the shows before Corky showed up! Lots of fun, low key humor. The towns folk are funny, without trying to be. And above all, the importance of stools.
