Grade: B
Christopher Guest follows up his instant classic Best in Show with a funny, but not overly so, look at the folk music industry in A Mighty Wind. Read the full movie review
User Comments & Reviews
His Masterpiece!, by Annalisa O'Brien
October 22, 2003
I've seen ALL of Mr. Guest's movies, and while Spinal Tap & Best in Show, even Waiting for Guffman were all brilliant, A Mighty Wind is certainly his masterpiece. This movie is, by far, my favorite movie of the year, and on my top 10 list of favorite movies of all time. I laughed harder at A Mighty Wind than I did in Best in Show, and I continue to laugh when I listen to certain songs on the soundtrack, as they remind me of those quirky moments in the movie. A Mighty Wind is a top notch movie that I would recommend to all people of all ages. My biggest regret is that it never played in our small town theaters and wasn't able to see it on the large screen.
