I LOVED this movie!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

As with almost every Christopher Guest movie, "A Mighty Wind" is brilliant and hilarious. My family, thinking it would cheer me up, took me to see this when it first came out in the theater just 10 days after I had open-heart surgery. Laughing out loud was not impossible, but difficult and it was a good thing I brought a pillow with me to clutch to my chest! Thirteen years later and I'm still laughing out loud. This ensemble is so wonderful, and works so well as a group... the sheer genius of their improvisational skills is really quite something. "Best in Show," "Waiting for Guffman," "This is Spinal Tap"..... just insanely funny. Christopher Guest, et al are brilliant. Watch it - watch them all. You won't regret it.

My favorite Christopher Guest movie

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is the most poignant of all of Guest's movies, and replete with excellent (if sometimes silly) music. "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" was written by Michael McKean (Lenny on "Laverne and Shirley") and his wife Annette O'Toole, and was nominated for an Oscar. It should have won. It is simply beautiful. Some of the other songs, had they been performed in the 1960s or 1970s, would be folk classics today - especially "Old Man Joe's", though it would have needed one minor change in one line. I really liked Ed Begley Jr's performance as the Jewish Swede. And there was a moment while Mitch and Mickey were performing "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" when he did a reaction shot that is one of the best I've ever seen in any film. Every single performance was first rate. You can watch this time and again, and never tire of it.

ONE OF THE ALL - TIME GREAT CHRISTOPHER GUEST COMEDIES!! EXCELLENT MUSIC!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

Ok, I am beyond happy watching Christopher Guest and all the other amazing artists who create these mockumentaries! I adore Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Ed Begley Jr., the great Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, Parker Posey, Jane Lynch, oh my gosh, so many fabulous actors and comedians!!! They are classics. You cannot be sad while watching this movie! My family and I have the music from this movie playing during every road trip...Eugene Levy as Mitch is a beautiful and amazing formation of a character. Catherine O'Hara is so lovely in every performance I've ever seen, and she is again, performing as Micky, the singing partner, and former love interest of Mitch. The music is, of course, comedic, but it is also really great music that you can listen to and absolutely love!! I play it all the time in my car, knowing every verse, loving the songs, and I don't question it! I just enjoy it! I'm just such a huge fan of all the Christopher Guest movies...all I can say is, thank you for making me laugh during the saddest times of my life, thank you for all the great times my family enjoyed while watching your movies, and thank you to all the wonderful actors who brought so much laughter and enjoyment into my life!!

I laugh every time I watch it!

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017

A Mighty Wind makes me laugh every time I watch it and it must be watched. Part of what makes me laugh is the perfectly normal sounding part of the "documentary" juxtaposed with something wince-worthy. This was actually my introduction to the mockumentary genre and I fell in love with it.

I think part of the movie's attraction is its attention to detail. The album covers featured look like they were created during the appropriate time period. Even the songs and musical styles sound right. (Yes, I bought the CD and the songs blend easily into my other folk music songs.)

I also loved the extras. The deleted scenes are funny, but the jewels are the TV episodes and the PBN recording. They are spot on. Do take the time to watch them.

If you like folk music and have a sense of humor about it or if you enjoy good comedy, I think you'll like the movie.

I JUST LOVE THIS COMEDY TROUP. They are insane, and work so well together. I have watched all of their movies, back to back, and I am not even into Canadian humor that much, but these fools make me laugh like crazy. Yes, watch it. Bob Balaban is at his most neurotic ever in this one. I loved the Spinal Tap guys in this one. Michael McKean and Harry Shearer are incredible in their roles and of course so is Christopher Guest.
Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara, are at their best, as always, too.

Not as edgy as other Christopher Guest projects, this actually does feel like an affectionate sendup. Not to say there aren't some brutal throwaway lines. And the main song should have won the Academy Award.

What you need to know about Christopher Guest Movies

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2003

Verified Purchase

One thing you need to know about ALL Christoper Guest movies is just how brilliant they are. Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy write a story. They create backgrounds, scenes, histories, ideas, and the plot of the story. But EVERY SINGLE WORD of spoken dialogue is IMPROVISED. It is created on the spot! Just ponder the enormity of that task! Then watch it again, and realize just how talented and hilarious these actors/actresses are! It is unbelievable to me the celever stuff they come up with! If you watch the audio commentary they talk about certain people's abilites. How Fred Willard just gets going and doesn't stop. Guest and Levy usually compile over 60 HOURS of improvised video for each film. Then take 6 - 10 months to edit it down to a masterpiece of about 90 minutes.
That said, "A Mighty Wind" is Guest's third film. I personally feel Best in Show was the best. But this one is a close second. The character development is so authentic in this one, that you actually begin to believe the story. Except for the color religion...whoa. The additional scenes are just as funny as the scenes in the movie, and make you wonder what other gold nuggest are to be found resting on the cutting room floor. This is a hilarious movie, a good mockumentary, but with real-life elements subtly planted to make you truly get lost in Guest's world. I even bought the soundtrack, which is a wonderful addition to this movie.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. The music is amazing! I expected it to be mostly humor but Kiss At the End of the Rainbow actually brings me to tears. Eugene Levy, & Catherine O’Hara have the most amazing chemistry. It will make you laugh, cry, & want to sing along!

This BD is a transfer from good quality and relatively recent 2003 film stock and has responded well to the BD transfer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

With this 2003 film director Christopher Guest continues his series of fake documentaries. That started with the now cult film This is Spinal Tap. That was followed by Best in Show which explored the world of dog shows with greatly amusing and essential accuracy and that was followed by an investigation into the world of amateur dramatics via Waiting for Guffman.

The current 'A Mighty Wind' brings his dissecting eye to bear upon the world of Country and Western. Once again he uses the same team featured in the previous two films to good effect both serious and humorous. The team perform their own music with considerable talent so the musical element is presented very well indeed. The music is simply the vehicle into an investigation into the main characterisations involved.

However, this review is not intended to discuss the actual film as by now it will have both its supporters and detractors. Entering into those conflicts is not the purpose of the review which is aimed squarely at the many supporters of this film.

Essentially, for all of those who are keen supporters of this film and who have bought the previous DVD version of this disc, the only issue of vital importance will be whether the Blu-ray offers an improvement technically sufficient to justify the additional expense.

For this reviewer the answer is a clear affirmative. The upgrade offers a clear advance on both image and audio quality with the imaging being a marked improvement. The colours are firmer and there is an increase to the perceived depth of the imaging. The whole film simply becomes more 'real.' The film, which is so concerned with close characterisation, benefits considerably from this enhancement of reality.

The degree of improvement experienced from this BD will also inevitably depend on the replay equipment used. The following technical information is intended to be a guide to aid in assessment.

The screen used for this review is only of moderate dimensions being a 40 inch television screen. However, the television is a high performing 4K unit which delivers a compensating positive effect. The moderate screen size lacks the impact of larger screens but is less critical of film faults.

However, the contributing player is, unusually, able to separate the audio and visual HDMI signals before they leave separately to the television and pre-amp. That feature enhances both the visual and audio elements of the output. The audio delivers an unusually wide-ranging and revealing performance, useful in this case.

Readers with alternative equipment will have to interpret this review bearing in mind their own equipment and its comparative advantages and disadvantages.

In summary this BD is a transfer from good quality and relatively recent 2003 film stock and has responded well to the BD transfer. It is well worth considering for fans of Country and Western and admirers of Christopher Guest's style of humour.

If you're looking for a movie with great music that also makes you feel good, then look no further.
I ordered this through Amazon but it took weeks to come from America - can't fault the movie for that.

A finger in the ear to folk music

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 11, 2008

Verified Purchase

Now I am a folk musician, and I thought it was marvellous. It's not as funny as Spinal Tap, but a lot better than Best In Show. It affectionately spoofs 60's American Folk, but I have to say thet the music, not counting the contributions of the superbly cheesy New Main Street Singers, is genuinely excellent. All are excellent musicians and singers, esp Eugene Levy, playing the "casualty" Mitch who gives a marvellous impression of being a rusty musician, whilst (spoiler?) pulling it out of the bag when it really counts.
