I finally got to see "A Mighty Wind" ...
which has only just been released in the UK.

I enjoyed it. How did other people feel about it?

1. I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have it on DVD, and played it about three times within a week after getting it.

I think it's the best of Christopher Guest's "mockumentaries" because the music is great--it's great satire--you can almost see some groups performing this music--almost.

3. Funny, but a disappointment after "Best in Show" and
"Waiting for Guffman."

4. I liked it better than "Best in Show" which started off funny but then
leveled off. BTW, I understand that most of the dialog in "Wind" was unscripted.

5. I thought it was good
My wife hated it. She also hated "Best in Show," so it's safe to say she's not a big fan of Christopher Guest and his band of improv performers. I also loved "Best in Show."

My wife also hates "The Simpsons," which causes some friction at home since I watch it every time it comes on.

6. I Enjoyed It......
....as I have all of Guest's movies. "Wind" definitely takes the prize for Most Martin Guitars In Evidence In A Single Motion Picture......

7. liked it a lot
Still prefer Spinal Tap, but pretty much anything he does is good. Although we couldn't sit through Waiting for Guffman and haven't seen Best in Show yet. No one can gently skewer things as well.
