Alec B Christopher Guest's masterpiece. You get the sense that while he's mocking elements of the folk music scene, he ultimately loves the genre and these characters. Everything with Mitch and Mickey is so perfect I can't help but get moved to tears.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/22 Full Review Audience Member There's something about Christopher Guest movies. Yes, they're funny. Yes, they're quirky. But there's more to it. The regular cast that populates his films are first-rate and they pull off the comedy so expertly. Whether it's this movie, Best in Show, This is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, they are all recognizable as Christopher Guest movies. The one that's in a class by itself is Princess Bride. But, A Mighty Wind is certainly deserving of your time if you'd like a positive laugh. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review dave s Christopher Guest's A Mighty Wind doesn't have the same cutting satire as some of his other mockumentaries, sometimes coming across as more of a loving tribute to the folk scene of the early 1960s, but there is still plenty to like. When folk producer Irving Steinbloom passes away, his son Jonathan (Bob Balaban) decides to organize a tribute concert featuring acts that his father worked with, among them Mitch and Mickey (Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara). The dialogue, much of which feels improvised, is clever and insightful, the music is catchy and kitschy, and the cast, most of whom are Guest regulars, are excellent, notably Levy and O'Hara, as well as Jane Lynch as a former porn actress turned folk singer. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review fred n Haven't seen it in a while, but liked it when it was in theaters. Saw it on HBO, and it is a delight, just what I needed as a change from real-life heaviness. Simple, silly, sentimental, it sure looks like they had fun making it. I'm not a folk music historian, but they captured the era as far as this layman can tell. Nothing blew up, no one died, (almost) no one reached a turning point in their lives. A rootbeer float on a hot day. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
