Two word movie review of 'A Mighty Wind.'
Fucking hilarious!

Anybody else seen this one? The guys from Spinal Tap are old-time folkies!

4. That one is next on my watch list. Will be checking it out
today. If it is funnier than 'Wind' I guess we will be in for a real treat.

'Wind' had my g/f and I rolling on the floor in laughter!

19. Best in Show is even funnier
if you have some experience with dog shows and dog show people.

17. Best in show was brilliant
I actually laughed so hard I cried at the scenes at the end with the calendar shots --- "The Burning of Atlanta".

Guffman was good, but a less-conventionally-funny movie vs. Best in Show.

"Looks like Rhapsody has two mommies!"

5. I agree.
"Waiting for Guffman" was pretty good, too.

6. I'll Call It A Toss-Up
Those two and Waiting for Guffman all get A- from me. The pacing is a little lethargic in spots, in all three, but for the most part, superb story, great deadpan comedic acting, and hilarious in spots.

Only Spinal Tap gets a full A, from me. But, that's probably because of me being a musician.

11. I saw them both also, and they were both good. I also...
liked "Best in Show" better though.

8. I actually loved the music too!
The fact that it is the same cast as Spinal Tap makes it all the more hilarious.

9. It was awesome...
And the music...both funny and good. The "Mighty Wind" is a great song as well as hilarious...

And Parker Posey? Yum

12. Awesome.
By the end of the movie, I was nostalgic for this completely made-up music. Neat trick, that.

Better than Best In Show and Waiting for Guffman. Perhaps not quite as good as This Is Spinal Tap.

14. EA A OE's
the puppy in the poke....

the music was hysterically funny.

I keep hoping they'll pick on NASCAR next. It only seems fitting.

15. It was nominated for an Oscar
for best song, for "kiss at the end of the rainbow"

Eugene Levy and the woman playing his ex-wife performed it at the Oscar ceremony.
