Subject: RE: 'A Mighty Wind' on Irish TV tonight TG4
Back to the subject of the movie for a minute...   I saw it when it first came out several years ago, and I was kinda disappointed. It was moderately amusing, to be sure, but not as boffo hilarious as I'd hoped it would be. I'm not sure what I'd expected, but whatever it was, it wasn't in the flick. I think maybe it was because the movie centered on what I think of as "pop folk," rather than the real folk music I was (and still am) interested in. Actually, I thought the funniest part was the montage of record album covers.

If you haven't seen it, by all means do -- then make up your own mind!
