Pros: It was a fun way to spend a rainy Saturday Afternoon
Cons: You need to really remember your Folk music history to get all the jokes
My husband and I went to see this movie. We both enjoyed it, but I think he got a little more out of it than I did. He was up on all his Folk Music Trivia so he got all the jokes. I got enough jokes to enjoy myself. I also thought the song parodies...

Pros: I did drink beer at the movie theater itself.
Cons: inaccurate and untelling on all levels.
The definition of satire seems lost on Christopher Guest, the director of A Mighty Wind. Satire skews popular notions and perceptions. It skews favorite movies and television shows. When it's not being specifically topical about a particular event,...

Pros: amazingly talented cast on all levels
Cons: Not everyone enjoys subtlety
Christopher Guest delivers another wonderful mock-umentary for the ages with his "behind the scenes" look at the world of folk music. When the "Founding Father of Folk Music" dies, his producer son decides to reunite some of his most famous acts of...

Pros: Three or four first-rate comic moments
Cons: Repetitive, petty, pointless, dull, flat, cheap, lazy, derivative, impotent, juvenile, lifeless; worst of all, safe.
Knock, knock!
Who’s there?
Christopher Guest.
Christopher Guest who?
Christopher Guest thought he could sneak a warmed-over remake of Spinal Tap past his audience, but Christopher Guest wrong.
Yeah, you...

Pros: Superb acting, great dialogue, incredible attention to detail
Cons: Too many characters, not enough development of them all; leaves you wanting more.
Synopsis: Christopher Guest and Co. (the team behind This Is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, and Best in Show) take on folk music in this mockumentary-style comedy, in which three once-popular folk bands reunite for a tribute concert to honor a...

Pros: Laugh out loud funny, great music, top notch entertainment
Cons: None, but your mileage may vary based on your knowledge of folk music.
When trying to give people a visual on who Christopher Guest is, I always tell them that he was the six-fingered man from "The Princess Bride". A few years before that, he was working with Rob Reiner, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean on...

Pros: Superb character acting, subtle yet hilarious, clever witty writing. Good music. A gigglefest.

Your Basic Plot..Alas, No Explosions
Directed by Christopher Guest (Best In Show, Spinal Tap, Waiting For Guffman) and written by himself and Eugene Levy(Bringing Down Da' House, Best In Show, Waiting For Guffman), this movie...

Pros: Perfectly acted; very funny; clever and subtle.
Cons: May be too subtle for some; not as brilliant as "Best in Show."
I'll never forget discovering the genius of Christopher Guest. It was with Best in Show, his best film and one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Upon first viewing the film was good, but nothing more than that, but after watching it once eve ...

Pros: Perfect character studies, great acting, precise editing.
Cons: Might be too obscure or subtle for some.
His new film, A Mighty Wind, finds Christopher Guest (director of such celebrated mockumentaries as Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show, as well as a collaborator on the mother of all mockumentaries, This is Spinal Tap) at the top of his game. What...

Pros: Great music; likeable characters; fun movie
Cons: Slow at times, not as laugh-out-loud hilarious as Spinal Tap

Pros: Funny, original, bang-on performances
Cons: a little short
At 87 minutes long, A MIGHTY WIND is a little short of a might gust of comedy. Written by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy and directed by Guest, A MIGHTY WIND is a wicked bang-on mockumentary about the trials and tribulations behind-the-scenes of a...

Pros: Great actors
Cons: Lack of plot, few laughs
I keep seeing Christopher Guest movies in hopes that they will live up to his previous, wonderful film, "Waiting for Guffman." This movie disappointed me almost as much as its predecessor, 'Best in Show."
Everyone talks up how these films are...
