Fred Willard could do absolutely nothing and still be the funniest person in the room.

JackOct 1, 2018christopher guest had the divine opportunity to consistently cast parker posey and then consistently wasted her comedic talent by only giving her approximately 7 minutes of screentime per film. some crimes can never be forgiven

“can you have an actual three dimensional.. object... that represents the thing that it actually is, can that be next to something that it’s pretending to be?”
LucyJan 31, 2026perfect movie. mitch and mickey make me cry. rest in peace catherine o’hara. final gag doesn’t bother me fwiw especially knowing Guest has a trans kid now. in terms of trans jokes, by the era’s standards, this one is sorta tame. i also always appreciate on the press tour,…

This film has forever altered the way I ask, “Wha’ happened?”
SamhainAug 31, 2018I love this, but the last 45 seconds did not age well over the last 15 years.

At first, I wasn’t really into this film, but by the end, its charm had fully taken root. I was even more impressed to learn all the music was performed by the actors themselves. Just a fun, folksy time and an enjoyable dose of banjo. Onto the next Christopher Guest movie for me!
RitOlive lovedA Mighty WindI didn’t know this gem, and felt quite teary-eyed towards the end with our lovely Catherine O’Hara. These movies are so silly but so sweet. Next in line are For Your Consideration and Waiting for Guffman (Best in Show is also brilliant). Oh, and This is Spinal Tap.
Flaherty likedA Mighty WindI preferred Best In Show and For Your Comsideration, but this is a solid showing by the C. Guest players.

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

Achingly funny movie...Guest has cultivated a stock company of players whose work together is so intuitively sharp that it seems to redefine the boundaries of acting.
Peter Rainer
New York Magazine (Vulture)
The film's heart and soul belong to O'Hara and to Levy, whose folk-music burnout has the shell-shocked expression of someone who's been to hell and never quite made it back.
