Title: A Mighty Wind--funniest mocumentary since Spinal Tap
Product review: I read a lot of reviews that say "A Mighty Wind" was funnier than or wasn't as funny as "Waiting for Guffman" or "Best in Show," etc. I have a theory about that: these Christopher Guest & co. mocumentaries succeed or fail in a person's eyes to the degree that they have a connection with or knowledge of that which is being parodied. For example, I'm a musician, and I love Spinal Tap and Mighty Wind. Think they're hilarious. I don't know or care much about dog shows, and I thought Best of Show was the weakest. That being said, if you like music, or have any knowledge of folk music, you'll find this movie hilarious but at the same time a bit more poignant than usually expected from these parodies. Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara's characters provide the emotion; everyone else backs up the comedy, my personal favorite being Mr. Guest and the Folksmen, with Mr. Guest's sheep bleating baritone. See this movie!
