Movie Reviews of A Mighty Wind

Movie Review: more great satire from Christopher Guest
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are a fan of folk music from the late 50's/early 60's, (& can appreciate the humor of "This Is Spinal Tap"), then you'll probably love Christopher Guest's knowing & often hilarious take on this, at one time, hugely popular era of our musical culture. But if you're someone who has little or no Kingston Trio, The New Christy Minstrels, (& even Sonny & Cher) in your collection-3 of the groups satirized the most in this film- then you probably won't appreciate much of the humor that Guest throws at you. Having been a huge fan of that genre, though, I found it great fun trying to figure out all the groups that he alluded to throughout the film. But don't get offended if he "roasts" one of your favorites, as in "...Spinal Tap", for there is usually an underlying feeling of Guest's love & respect for those great artists. He just has a rare gift for seeing the humorous side of anyone or anything he puts his mind to writing about. Enjoy!

There's A Mighty Wind a-blowin', along with the gales of laughter you'll get from Christopher Guest's third exercise in brilliant "mockumentary." After tackling small-town theatricals in Waiting for Guffman and obsessive dog-show contestants in Best in Show, Guest and his reliable stable of repertory players (including Fred Willard, Parker Posey, and Bob Balaban) apply their improvisational genius to a latter-day reunion of fictional '60s-era folk singers, a comedic goldmine that Guest first explored 30 years earlier on The National Lampoon Radio Hour. Collaborating with costar and cowriter Eugene Levy (who gives the film's funniest performance), Guest is so delicate in his satirical approach that the laughs aren't always obvious, and the subtlety can be as wistful (as in Catherine O'Hara's performance as Levy's auto-harpist partner) as it is hilarious. Some may wish for more blatant comedy, but that would compromise the genuine affection that Guest & Co. have for the music they're spoofing. --Jeff Shannon
