A Mighty Wind

A Mighty Wind is a documentary-style comedy on 1960’s folk music. After concert promoter Irving Steinbloom dies, his son Jonathan organizes a tribute concert featuring Steinbloom’s favorite, but now aging, folksingers: The Folksmen (Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer), Mitch and Mickey (Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara), and The New Main Street Singers (Parker Posey, John Michael Higgins and Jane Lynch). The film is directed by Guest, known for other hits that poke fun at American culture: This is Spinal Tap (1984) and Waiting for Guffman (1996).

Dove Review

Although this one won’t blow away viewers like Guest’s earlier hits, A Mighty Wind is still good for two reasons: beautiful chemistry among the musicians and funny, funny, funny humor. Due to sexual humor and some bad language, Dove cannot award the Dove Seal to this film.
