There is no shortage of performers with comic skills in A Mighty Wind. What's lacking instead is a visible premise for the satire and ridicule.

More of a warm breeze than a great gust, but its simple, smart pleasures carry the force of a hurricane.

You don't leave A Mighty Wind laughing so much as humming. Its dialogue may be improvised, but its music is well rehearsed.
Original Score: A-

While Guest never forgets to laugh, he never forgets to love either, embracing the very subject he is simultaneously throttling.
Original Score: B+

[T]he most heartwarming spoof ever made.

It's just about as terrific as Guest's previous two wingdings, Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show.

Perhaps, after Best of Show and the terrific Waiting for Guffman this is a bit of a letdown. But it's still nice to leave a theater with a smile these days -- even though it would be even nicer to leave it laughing.
April 18, 2003
With Guest again demonstrating affection for the subjects he teases -- the humor is never mean-spirited, and some of the music is kind of fun -- his fans are likely to be toe-tappingly pleased.

Not only is the material amusing, it's charmingly engaging.

A Mighty Wind is appealing and moment-to-moment enjoyable but lacks the focus of Guest's earlier films.

A worthy entry into Guest's growing gallery of movies that prove far more interesting than the worlds at which they're so brilliantly poking fun.
Original Score: B

A fine-grained picture that goes for the sideways laughs rather than the straight-ahead ones.
