A Mighty Wind, Christopher Guest

Guest’s latest mockumentary is probably the strongest film of the bunch that includes Best in Show, This is Spinal Tap, and Waiting for Guffman. A Mighty Wind tells the tale of a folk singers reunion show and is funny, genuinely touching in parts (the Mitch and Mickey storyline), and features some great original music (and I’m not a big folk music fan). However, Guest’s mockumentary format is beginning to wear a little thin for me; I would have liked it a lot more had I not seen the others first.
