Movie that makes you feel good. If you liked 'Best in show' you will like this one. Although is not as good as 'Best..' Great cast, interesting and hilarious characters. Written and played well. The folk music is the same platform in this film like dog shows in 'Best in show'. Nevertheless folk music in this movie wasn't really ridiculed. It even left me with a bit of liking it. I'm not going to be a fan of it though. The movie leaves you with the 'feel good' mood and you realize that smile doesn't go off your face till the very end. If you have DVD, deleted scenes are worth watching. My favorite is the one with Amber Cole, the PR lady.

Christopher Guest and company tackle the super-cheesy folk music scene of the '60s in their own unmistakable way. While its status among Guest's other pictures could be debated, I don't think there's any question it's his most complete effort. Tremendously funny at points, it also tells a straight, coherent story and ties in a stunning successful emotional hook. The laughs aren't quite as loud or as rapid-fire as they were in Spinal Tap; however, the tone also isn't nearly as flippant, which is a major reason why it's able to settle down and deliver something truly sweet at the climax. Of course, the original music is once again outstanding, with lyrics that are more subtly funny and not nearly as brazen, and is spectacularly performed by the cast of ad-lib legends. It's an ensemble piece in every definition of the word, with the mockumentary style of the first sixty minutes providing more than enough background to emotionally invest its audience for the grand finale in Town Hall. Effectively funny and heartwarming in even doses, A Mighty Wind is a great continuation of the troupe's legacy.

This Is Spinal Tap's Christopher Guest, director of Best in Show, directs and write, with help from Eugene Levy, this folk music "mockumentary", or satire comedy. Basically when folk icon Irving Steinbloom (Stuart Luce) dies, he left behind a legacy, and as a celebration his son Jonathan (Bob Balaban) has put on a memorial concert featuring many of his favourite musicians. These include duo Mitch Cohen (Levy) and Mickey Crabbe (Catherine O'Hara), trio The Folksmen, and The New Main Street Singers. The film shows some of these groups careers before the one night only in New York City's Town Hall. Also starring, in alphabetical order, Ed Begley Jr. as Lars Olfen, Jennifer Coolidge as Amber Cole, Paul Dooley as George Menschell, Guest as Alan Barrows, John Michael Higgins as Terry Bohner, Michael Hitchcock as Lawrence E. Turpin, Don Lake as Elliott Steinbloom, Jane Lynch as Laurie Bohner, Spinal Tap's Michael McKean as Jerry Palter, The Nutty Professor's Larry Miller as Wally Fenton, Christopher Moynihan as Sean Halloran, Parker Posey as Sissy Knox, Spinal Tap's Harry Shearer as Mark Shubb, Deborah Theaker as Naomi Steinbloom and Fred Willard as Mike LaFontaine. This may not be as much fun as This Is Spinal Tap, but you can certainly enjoy the music, especially from Levy and O'Hara, and there are one or two amusing moments. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Song for "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow". Good!

This is THE worst movie I or anyone else I know has EVER seen. I almost slept through it. It was extremely boring and fake. I'd give a negative rating but that's impossible. This movie is the worst movie you will ever see. I think everyone else slept through the small part we saw. This movie was a total waste of time, and it made me never want to see a "mockumentary" again. You should get paid to see this horrible movie. It did get better for about two minutes, but then it got even worse. After wasting an hour which felt like ten million on this movie, I didn't want to see any more of it. I stress again, do not see this movie unless you want to watch a movie so bad you can sleep right through it....
