I have chuckled at all the paid reviewers who have release lots of type on this film and seemed to have missed the point. Obviously they weren't musicians or knew anything about folkmusic beyond the type of music so wonderfully skewered here.

One person said some people will just never get the point of this one. Roger Ebert cetainly never did.

I found myself forgetting this was a lampoon at one point. I was genuinely looking forward to this performance. While I enjoyed Best in SHow, I never cared for or became interested in those people on the screen. Not so with this one. At times it seemed as if I was watching two different films.

I agree with Seamus about the songs too. My band could do a serious job of Mighty Wind and some of our friends would never connect the song and the movie and they'd love it. We are after all just Kingston Trio clones with drums. (Andy Cooney called us The Irish Beachboys at on show we shared.)
