"Reiner's brilliantly inventive script and smart visuals avoid all the obvious pitfalls, making this one of the funniest ever films about the music business." - Geoff Andrew, Time Out

"The satire has a deft, wicked touch." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

WAITING FOR GUFFMAN 1996, USA, 84 minutes, 35mm, Warner Bros. Directed by Christopher Guest Written by Christopher Guest & Eugene Levy Starring Christopher Guest, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Parker Posey, Fred Willard, Bob Balaban Sun: 5:45 & 9:15 pm; Mon/Tue: 9:15 pm
"Attention is paid not simply to funny characters and punch lines, but to small nudges at human nature." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"The comedy has the slow burn of a richly nuanced and non-judgmental character study." - Time Out
"A madcap gem." - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"A sly and gleeful comedy showcase that pokes clever fun at the American musical, amateur theatricals and anything else that's not nailed down." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is a double feature: your ticket admits you to BOTH films on the program!
Screening formats: 35mm

Photo ID is required to claim your will call ticket(s). Your name will be on a will call list at the box office. No need to print your Brown Paper Tickets confirmation to claim your ticket(s), but do make sure to have your ID with you. There is one single line for both ticket holders and those who need to purchase tickets (i.e., there is not a separate will call line).
The box office and doors open about 30 minutes before the first film in the double feature and then re-open about 10 minutes before the second film for those who wish to only see the second film.
The New Beverly Cinema is located on the north side of Beverly Blvd., one block west of La Brea.
Plentiful unmetered street parking can generally be found on Formosa Ave. (the block between Beverly Blvd. and Oakwood) after 6 PM. Read parking signs on all other streets carefully, as many others are restricted.
Neighborhood parking meters operate until 8pm, 7 days a week.
