Still Waiting for Guffman

Ever see Waiting for Guffman? If not go out and rent it right away.

It is one of those movies that you pick up something every time you see it and most recently I realized that Dr. Alan Pearl (Eugene Levy) and his wife are the two most sterotypical Jews in the entire midwest. Not that one could ever mistake Eugene Levy for any thing but Jewish (hell if he was wearing a headdress and wielding a tomahawk I'd think he was a Jewish Indian) but until recenlty I never thought that there would be any Jews in Blaine. Blaine just doesn't seem like a town where there are Jews.

In one scene, Dr. Pearl's wife is wearing a Chai (backwards no less) as she talks to the camera about the remakable talent of her husband. It is important to remember, that at the end Dr. Pearl does end up movie to Florida, to perform for his fellow people.

What am I saying ... don't really know. Sorry if I've wasted your time.
