"A Mighty Wind" - 7 out of 10

Guest, McKean and Shearer are never going to best Spinal Tap. A Mighty Wind is more charming than farcical, pushing the squeaky clean aspects of the folk music scene rather than mock it's lyrics. Still, Fred Willard is a riot, and Eugene Levy is fantastic. I even DIDN'T hate Catherine O'Hara (and usually I do).

Like "Best in Show", the movie falls a little short, if only because the cliches and trappings of the folk music world (or dog show world) aren't as plentiful (or as recognized as those of heavy metal.

On a side note, I think they left the best song on the cutting room floor. If you get a chance to see the DVD, look at the deleted scenes and dial up "Corn Wine". Absolutely Brilliant song. Is there a full version mp3 of this song floating around anywhere?
