Subject: RE: a mighty wind - the fim
That is the thing. A good "skewer" or parody would have been nice.
But, as I said, humor is subjective. I like Mad TV--others like SNL. Some liked Frasier (me) and some Friends(not me).
As to film comparisons. That is what critics like Ebert do all the time. It creates a comparison. Sure it is only their opinion, which brings me back to the "subjective" word. All such things are.
A disclaimer---Ron and I know each other and co host a radio program---so I guess we have now become Siskel and Ebert---I hope neither of us is Siskel though.
