Editorial Review: Description: Documentary-style Comedy. Christopher Guest follows up his acclaimed ensemble comedies Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman with a docu-comedy about three folk groups from the '60s who reunite for a memorial concert in New York City following the death of a legendary folk manager. DVD Features: Audio Commentary Biographies Other Discount Shopping: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 3 stars out of 4The Bottom Line: A lesser film than Waiting for Guffman or Best in Show, A Mighty Wind is worth watching for people who liked the other ones, but gets by more on charm and occasional humor than solid comedy. Rating: - silly and funnyI thought this movie was fun mainly because I love all Christopher Guest movies,they are always full of subtle satire and the actors all act so natural as though they are just adlibbing most of it. The mighty wind was just another typical Guest satire on the folk music industry with all of its nerdiest and silly type casts the Guest loves to exploit and have fun with. Alot of fun and worth watching over in case you missed something the first time. Rating:  - Used CD ReviewGot this used CD real cheap, but it was in excellent condition. Paid more for the shipping than the CD, but it was worth it. Real funny, just like the other movies by this group of clowns (Spinal Tap, Best in Show). Rating:  - Missing the SpiritA Mighty Wind was a great idea for a movie. Unfortunately the producer completely missed the spirit. I found much of the movie difficult to watch. The actors were ALL stuttering and stammering from begining to end. There are a few bright spots. Catherine O'Hara continues to weave her way into my heart. Fred Willard brings color and action to a rather stale script. Fortunately there are a few moments when the film actually looks like it's supposed to. The actors did seem to enjoy and have ...
