Possibly the most emotionally resonant of the Christopher Guest-curated mock documentaries or "mockumentaries™*", if you will. Most of this is due to the spectacular performances which anchor the film, that of Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy, whose relationship might be the most bittersweet pairing in "mockumentary" history. Impossible to single out anyone in a cast this funny and talented but my god is Fred Willard unbelievably hysterical in this. Crying-laughing for all 10-15 minutes he was onscreen.

As a huge fan of Best In Show, I knew I would like this movie. I didn't know that it would be even funnier than Best in Show, though, and I REALLY didn't expect the songs to actually be catchy.

This cast is one that I could watch over and over again. Every single member of the cast is an amazing improviser and all of them are hilarious. I wish there were more movies like this that are so well executed.

While not as laugh-out-loud hilarious as Guest's other films, "A Mighty Wind" nonetheless still upholds his tradition of fantastic characters and good ol' funny-awkward times.

I am quickly realising Christopher Guest is a rolling piece of awesome. Eugene Levy is utterly hilarious in his bizarre stoned/drugged out/spaced out delivery and Catherine O Hara is fantastic as the slightly damaged female. This one actually moved me a little because of O Hara and Levy in their strange ways.
Aside from that its comedy all the way along with surprisingly catchy songs. I'd love to think that they all actually played and sung it all - it certainly comes across like they did. Very impressive.
Drinking Game: Each time you forget its a mokumentary
Bottom Line: Equally as funny as Best in Show but with a little more heart and a little less savageness.

Doesn't hit the lofty comedic heights of Christopher Guest's earlier films, but there's still plenty to like here. A lot of comedy is sacrificed in the name of genuine emotion, but I'd be lying if the film wasn't oddly moving, at least where Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are concerned.

So funny. I love all the people in this & the other Christopher Guest movies.

Pocas comedias tan sofisticadas e inteligentes como los mockumentarys de Christopher Guest. Reverso luminoso en apariencia, pero mucho más amargo y triste en el fondo, del inmortal 'This is... Spinal Tap', mantiene dos de las claves que me encantan de las películas de Guest: gusto por el detalle, y una galería impagable de secundarios (el productor televisivo de origen sueco, el cómico hortera metido a manager musical, el gerente enamorado de la acústica de su teatro...).

Perhaps particularly resonant for me because of my upbringing surrounded by this exact kind of music, but the (original!) songs are superb and the performances hilarious and lived-in.
