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 while mixing 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 its climax.

Of course, the original music is once again outstanding, with lyrics that are more funny and not nearly as brazen as Spinal Tap’s repertoire, and is spectacularly performed by a cast of ad-lib legends. It's an ensemble piece in every definition of the word, with the mock-u-mentary style of the first sixty minutes providing more than enough background to emotionally invest its audience for a grand finale in Town Hall. Effectively funny and heartwarming in even doses, A Mighty Wind is a great continuation of the troupe's legacy.

A satire about the Folk music movement of the 60’s and a revival concert. This film is in the same vain as Spinal Tap but with folk music. Now, I’m a rocker chick but I can appreciate any genre of music.... I never listen to folk music but can appreciate it. That being said I was getting into it! The music is not bad. The performance by Eugene Levy was fantastic. After the breakup of the musical duo with Catherine Ohara, he released an album.... that album cover! I was killing myself laughing. A great watch with great comedic nominees and some folk music! You can’t go wrong!

There was a better movie in here somewhere. It kind of lost steam at the end when it became less of a comedy and more of an actual concert.

A bit like Spinal Tap with folk music. But whereas I enjoyed Tap I got nothing out of this. Maybe because I never was into folk so a lot of the comedy might have been lost on me.
The one positve thing I thought was all the actors actually performing instead of just pretending.
