MOVIE REVIEW: A MIGHTY WIND (2003) * * * * (4 stars out of 4).
External link:
I am so loathe to give out two four star ratings in a row, since I think they should be very rare, so let me point out that you'd have to go back to February for another four star restaurant review from me, and back to September of last year for another four star movie review. A Mighty Wind, the new where-are-they-now "mockumentary" about some fictional folk singers, was the funniest movie I have seen in a long, long time. This movie from Christopher Guest, the director of Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman surpasses both of them, and is, I think, the true sequel to This is Spinal Tap, which may be the funniest movie ever made. The bandsmen of Spinal Tap are reunited as "The Folksmen" and joined by a huge ensemble cast, almost all of whom have appeared in one or more of the aforementioned movies.
I was a little frightened for the genre after Harry Shearer's completely dreadful mockumentary "Teddy Bear's Picnic", but, well, I guess Harry Shearer is no Christopher Guest, and making these kinds of movies is harder than it looks.
