Hilarious folk music mockumentary has some innuendo.

There is no shortage of performers with comic skills in A Mighty Wind. What's lacking instead is a visible premise for the satire and ridicule.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 11, 2003

You don't leave A Mighty Wind laughing so much as humming. Its dialogue may be improvised, but its music is well rehearsed.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | May 9, 2003

While Guest never forgets to laugh, he never forgets to love either, embracing the very subject he is simultaneously throttling.

A hoot.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 9, 2003

A rollicking, tongue-in-cheek sendup.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 8, 2003

There is plenty of top-flight comedy in this brisk picture.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 22, 2003

[T]he most heartwarming spoof ever made.

Full Review | Apr 21, 2003

It's just about as terrific as Guest's previous two wingdings, Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show.

Full Review | Apr 20, 2003

With Guest again demonstrating affection for the subjects he teases -- the humor is never mean-spirited, and some of the music is kind of fun -- his fans are likely to be toe-tappingly pleased.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 18, 2003

Not only is the material amusing, it's charmingly engaging.

| Apr 18, 2003

A Mighty Wind is appealing and moment-to-moment enjoyable but lacks the focus of Guest's earlier films.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 17, 2003

A fine-grained picture that goes for the sideways laughs rather than the straight-ahead ones.

Full Review | Apr 16, 2003

Though it's softer than its predecessors, this reunion pic lingers in the mind almost as much.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 16, 2003

Genuine appreciation of the movie comes in recognizing the careful evocation of the sights, sounds and emotions of the early '60s -- sans the politics, which are curiously MIA -- and not from hooting at the hicks.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 16, 2003

It's wonderfully funny, but in a quiet way; inspiring helpless giggles rather than knee-slapping and aisle-rolling. And, for the record, it's even better on a second viewing.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 16, 2003

This stuff is sporadically amusing but never laugh-out-loud funny because we never escape the feeling that the gang is coasting until a more worthy target materializes, a target they can lambaste with impunity.
